Practical guidance for renters, buyers and sellers. This is not a valuation, it is a starting point for comparing real transactions.
Rent negotiation
If you are renting

Median rent $3,500
Rentals 35
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.
- 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
Recent sales at Rio Gardens point to a typical sale price of $1,520,000 and $1,357 psf. Treat those as the first comparable range, then adjust for floor, size, condition and tenure.
Median sale $1,520,000
Median PSF $1,357 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. Rio Gardens has 13 sales on this page, so pricing should be checked against actual recent contracts before listing.
Sale signal Moderate
Total sold value $19.6M
Latest record Apr 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.
District context
Use D12 to compare Rio Gardens against the wider area.
About this data

Rental figures come from URA private residential rent data. Rent is shown as monthly rent.
Sale figures come from private residential sale data. PSF and total selling value are shown where the needed fields are available.
Rental floor level is not available from this source, so rental analysis is split by bedroom count and floor area band.
Sale floor band is available for many sale transactions, so sale prices can be grouped by recorded floor band.
