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 Taipan shows a typical monthly rent of $3,600 across 33 rentals. Use that as the first anchor, then check the bedroom and floor-area bands before accepting an asking rent.
Median rent $3,600
Rentals 33
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 The Taipan point to a typical sale price of $1,585,000 and $1,249 psf. Treat those as the first comparable range, then adjust for floor, size, condition and tenure.
Median sale $1,585,000
Median PSF $1,249 psf
Sale signal Thin
- 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 Taipan has 5 sales on this page, so pricing should be checked against actual recent contracts before listing.
Sale signal Thin
Total sold value $7.7M
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 D16 to compare The Taipan against the wider area.
About this data
How to read the rental and sale figures on this page.
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.
