Rentals in period 12
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.

Offer check

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. Sandalwood has 2 sales on this page, so pricing should be checked against actual recent contracts before listing.
Sale signal Thin
Total sold value $3.4M
Latest record Jun 2026
- Use the latest sales table to avoid anchoring to stale prices when the most recent month moved differently.
