Singapore condo rent guide 2026
This guide is for renters, landlords and agents who need a quick rental anchor before opening individual project pages. Start with the project median rent, then adjust for bedroom count, floor area and how stable the rent has been recently.
Data is for research and comparison only.How to read rent quickly
Use the project median rent as the first anchor. If the asking rent is well above the median, the unit should have a clear reason such as size, renovation, view, floor, or a very recent rent shift.
The district median is useful when a project has thin data, but it should not replace project-level evidence when the project page has enough rentals.
What to make of this
This rent read should feel practical, not academic. The main anchors here are rentals 453,593 (Recorded rental sample) and projects 3,430 (Project pages with rent and sale signals). If the asking rent is above the project signal, the unit needs a visible reason: size, condition, furnishing, view, floor or timing.
The Marq on Paterson Hill in D09 / Orchard, Cairnhill, River Valley is the first row I would open, with median rent $34,000 and rentals 51. This is not about winning an argument with a landlord. It is about knowing the range well enough to negotiate without guessing.
What I would check next
I would open the project page and look for the closest rental band before deciding whether the rent is fair. The best comparison is usually the same project, similar size and recent lease timing.
If the project has thin rental data, I would use nearby projects as backup rather than jump straight to the district median. Nearby buildings with similar age and tenant demand usually tell a better story.
What to compare next
Open the project page and check rent by bedroom and area band. A two bedroom unit should not be judged against a larger three bedroom unit just because both are in the same condo.
Stable rent projects make cleaner comparisons because month-to-month unit mix is less likely to distort the median.
Highest median rent projects
Projects with deeper rental data and the highest median monthly rent.
Quick answers
Short answers based on the current data view.
Is median rent better than average rent?
Median rent is often the cleaner first read because one unusually large or luxury unit can pull the average up.
Should I compare rent by district or project?
Use the project first when enough data exists. Use the district when the project has very few rentals.
