Prices are medians of URA caveats — resale and sub-sale only, new launches excluded. "2BR"/"3BR" are floor areas (500–800 / 800–1,200 sq ft), not bedroom counts. Condo rents are URA's median rent per square foot per month (psf/mo) — a rate, not a monthly total. URA publishes no landed rents, so those cells stay blank. "—" means URA has no figure for that project: too few recent sales in that size band, or none at all.

Condo prices are medians of URA caveats — resale and sub-sale only, new launches excluded (window Sep 2024 – Sep 2026); condo rents are URA's median rent per square foot per month (2026 Q2). "—" means no figure is published for that row: too few records to quote one, or none at all. HDB figures in the within-1km tables are medians of data.gov.sg HDB resale registrations over the last 24 months and HDB's published median rent by town and flat type. Landed purchase figures are URA caveat medians for that street; URA's rental data covers non-landed property only, so the landed rent columns stay "—". Current listings: 99.co PropertyGuru
