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
If you are buying
Latest 12M sales at Stars of Kovan show a median price of $1,450,000 and $1,950 psf. Treat those as the first comparable range, then adjust for floor, size, condition and tenure.

Latest 12M median PSF $1,950 psf
Sale signal Strong
- Compare the unit against the sale by floor table before deciding whether a premium makes sense.
- 99-year leasehold from 2015 should be part of the buying decision, especially when comparing against newer leasehold or nearby freehold projects.
Listing position
If you are selling

Sale signal Strong
Total sold value $157.6M
Latest record Jul 2026
