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
1953 shows a typical monthly rent of $3,700 across 83 rental contracts. Use that as the first anchor, then check the bedroom and floor-area bands before accepting an asking rent.
Median rent $3,700
Rental contracts 83
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
Recent sales at 1953 point to a typical sale price of $1,908,000 and $1,924 psf. Treat those as the first comparable range, then adjust for floor, size, condition and tenure.
Median sale $1,908,000
Median PSF $1,924 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. 1953 has 22 sale transactions in this dataset, so pricing should be checked against actual recent contracts before listing.
Sale signal Moderate
Total sold value $39.5M
Latest update Feb 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 D08 to compare 1953 against the wider area.
