Frequently Asked Questions

What are MCST maintenance fees?
MCST (Management Corporation Strata Title) fees are monthly charges paid by condo owners to cover shared expenses: security, cleaning, landscaping, pool maintenance, lift servicing, and sinking fund contributions.
How can I find condos with low maintenance fees?
This spotlight identifies condos with characteristics that correlate with lower MCST fees: newer buildings with efficient systems, medium-sized developments (200–500 units) that balance economies of scale, and well-managed estates.
Do maintenance fees increase over time?
Yes. MCST fees typically increase as a development ages, due to rising repair costs and the need to top up sinking funds for major works. Newer condos generally start with lower fees.

Methodology & Sources

Figures below are drawn from all available transaction periods and revised on demand.

Transaction data sourced from URA REALIS.

  • Rankings require a minimum number of transactions to qualify.
  • Averages are used for price and PSF metrics; yields are estimated from average rent and average sale price.

We report medians (not means) so a single outlier transaction cannot skew district-level figures. PSF = price per square foot.
