What Could Work Against You
- With just 0 sales in the trailing year, pricing signals are indicative rather than definitive; expect wider bid-ask spreads when you negotiate.
- At 43+ years of age, upkeep costs trend upward and renovation budgets matter; some owners here are effectively holding an en-bloc option.

Who This Actually Suits
Buyers most likely to be happy here: families with young children, mrt-walkable commuters, sea-view / waterfront and long-term hold (10+ yr). Family-suitable layout and CCR (Core Central Region) location with established school catchments nearby.
en-bloc speculators and foreign / absd-aware buyers should treat this as a shortlist candidate, not a default choice.
It is a weaker fit for yield-focused investors — other options likely serve them better. CCR (Core Central Region) location with rental demand profile worth running through our Rental Yield Calculator.
One caution flagged here: avoid if mrt-dependent — MRT access is meaningfully constrained — transit-dependent buyers should consider better-connected alternatives.
