How to use this data
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
The Criterion shows a latest 12-month median monthly rent of $3,894 across 40 rentals. Use that as the first anchor, then check the bedroom and floor-area bands before accepting an asking rent.
Latest 12M median rent $3,894
Rentals in period 40
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 The Criterion show a median price of $1,390,000 and $1,379 psf. Treat those as the first comparable range, then adjust for floor, size, condition and tenure.
Latest 12M median sale $1,390,000
Latest 12M median PSF $1,379 psf
Sale signal Strong
- Compare the unit against the sale by floor table before deciding whether a premium makes sense.
- 99-year leasehold from 2014 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. The Criterion has 239 sales on this page, so pricing should be checked against actual recent contracts before listing.
Sale signal Strong
Total sold value $304.8M
Latest record Aug 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.
