Frequently Asked Questions

Are waterfront condos good for rental income?
Waterfront units appeal to high-income tenants willing to pay a premium for views and lifestyle. Rental yields can be competitive, particularly in Districts 1 and 4 where expat demand is strong.
Which waterfront condo has the highest yield?
JC RESIDENCE currently leads waterfront condos with a gross rental yield of 5.16%.

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.
