Start with the district rent band

For buyers $1,717 to $1,823 psf

Use PSF comps before chasing

Freehold vs leasehold in D12

Tenure matters most when buying or selling. Rentals still need project-level comps.

D12 has 104 freehold projects and 13 leasehold projects in our project records. For buyers, tenure should be part of the sale comparison because freehold projects can trade differently from newer leasehold projects with more facilities and cleaner recent comparables.

For renters, tenure is mostly background. Rent should still be judged by the exact project, unit size, condition, MRT access, schools and the latest rent data. Use tenure as a buying lens first, not as the main reason to pay more rent.

9 projects still need tenure added, so this mix will improve as we add more project facts.
