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 Sound shows a latest 12-month median monthly rent of $5,000 across 47 rentals. Use that as the first anchor, then check the bedroom and floor-area bands before accepting an asking rent.
Latest 12M median rent $5,000
Rentals in period 47
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 Sound show a median price of $2,200,000 and $2,064 psf. Treat those as the first comparable range, then adjust for floor, size, condition and tenure.
Latest 12M median sale $2,200,000
Latest 12M median PSF $2,064 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. The Sound has 19 sales on this page, so pricing should be checked against actual recent contracts before listing.
Sale signal Moderate
Total sold value $36.1M
Latest record Jun 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.

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.
