Rentals in period 11
Rent signal Strong
- If the asking rent is above the median, look for a clear reason such as larger size, newer condition, furnishings or a better stack.
- If it is below the median, check whether the unit is smaller, older, lower floor or has a shorter lease term.
Offer check
If you are buying
Latest 12M sales at Orchid Apartments show a median price of $2,450,000 and $1,806 psf. Treat those as the first comparable range, then adjust for floor, size, condition and tenure.

Latest 12M median PSF $1,806 psf
Sale signal Moderate
- 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. Orchid Apartments has 9 sales on this page, so pricing should be checked against actual recent contracts before listing.
Sale signal Moderate
Total sold value $20.2M
Latest record Jun 2026
- Use the latest sales table to avoid anchoring to stale prices when the most recent month moved differently.
