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 ESSENCE shows a typical monthly rent of $3,725 across 18 rental contracts. Use that as the first anchor, then check the bedroom and floor-area bands before accepting an asking rent.
Median rent $3,725
Rental contracts 18
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 ESSENCE point to a typical sale price of $1,100,000 and $1,428 psf. Treat those as the first comparable range, then adjust for floor, size, condition and tenure.
Median sale $1,100,000
Median PSF $1,428 psf
Sale signal Moderate
- Compare the unit against the sale by floor table before deciding whether a premium makes sense.
- 99-year leasehold from 2018 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 ESSENCE has 15 sale transactions in this dataset, so pricing should be checked against actual recent contracts before listing.
Sale signal Moderate
Total sold value $17.8M
Latest update Mar 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 D26 to compare THE ESSENCE against the wider area.
About this data
How to read the rental and sale figures on this page.
Rental figures come from recorded URA private residential rental contracts. Rent is shown as monthly rent.
Sale figures come from recorded private residential sale transactions. PSF and total selling value are shown where sale records include the needed fields.
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.
