Singapore condo offer price checklist
A serious offer should have a reason behind it. The cleanest reason is recent transaction evidence, adjusted for unit size, floor, condition, tenure and your financing limits.
Data is for research and comparison only.Check the same project first
Start with recent sale transactions in the same project. Look at total price and PSF together. A lower total price can still be expensive if the unit is tiny.
If there are few recent project sales, compare nearby projects with similar tenure, age, location and building quality.
What to make of this
This buyer read is a first filter, not a valuation report. The main anchors here are sale records 136,318 (Recorded transaction sample) and top active district D10 (Ardmore, Bukit Timah, Holland Road, Tanglin). The useful question is whether total price, PSF, tenure and recent project evidence are all telling the same story.
Les Maisons Nassim in D10 / Ardmore, Bukit Timah, Holland Road, Tanglin is the first row I would open, with median sale $36,977,280 and median PSF $5,461 psf. Use that first comparison to choose the project, district, HDB or calculator page that answers the decision in front of you.
What I would check next
I would open the closest project, district or HDB page next, then compare the headline number against the transaction rows. The closer the comparable, the more useful the read.
If the page gives you a ranking, treat it as a shortlist. The decision still needs project-level or street-level evidence before the number carries much weight.
Separate price from affordability
A price can look fair and still be wrong for your situation. Run mortgage, stamp duty and purchase timeline before treating an offer as comfortable.
For a buyer with ABSD exposure, the same offer price can require a very different cash plan.
Make the offer defendable
A defendable offer sounds like this: based on recent sales in this project and nearby projects, I am comfortable at this price because it sits near the evidence.
That is much stronger than saying the listing feels high.
Projects with strong sale evidence
Use deeper sale samples when you want a cleaner offer-price anchor.
Quick answers
Short answers based on the current data view.
Should I offer below the median sale price?
Not automatically. The median is an anchor, not a rule. Unit size, floor, condition and timing still matter.
What if the project has no recent sales?
Use nearby projects with similar tenure and location, then keep your offer more conservative.
Should I rely on PSF or total price?
Use both. PSF normalizes unit size, while total price tells you the real cash quantum.
