Rentals in period 3
Rent signal Moderate
- If the asking rent is above the median, look for a clear reason such as larger size, newer condition, furnishings or a better stack.

Offer check
If you are buying
Latest 12M sales at Cityvale show a median price of $1,275,000 and $1,768 psf. Treat those as the first comparable range, then adjust for floor, size, condition and tenure.

Latest 12M median PSF $1,768 psf
Sale signal Thin
- Compare the unit against the sale by floor table before deciding whether a premium makes sense.
- Freehold should be part of the buying decision, especially when comparing against newer leasehold or nearby freehold projects.
Listing position
If you are selling
For sellers, the cleanest starting point is the project median PSF, then the latest sales and nearby project comps. Cityvale has 2 sales on this page, so pricing should be checked against actual recent contracts before listing.
Sale signal Thin
Total sold value $2.9M
Latest record Jan 2026
- Use the latest sales table to avoid anchoring to stale prices when the most recent month moved differently.
- If you want to price above recent PSF, the listing needs a visible reason such as renovation, view, layout, floor or scarcity.
