Rents and yield
Rental contracts that began in the 12 months to August 2026 had a median rent of S$8,600 a month (79 contracts). The district's median across every contract was S$5,800, so rents here ran well above it: about 48% higher.
Over the 24 months the median rent was S$8,300 (156 contracts). The latest 12 months ran a little above that: about 4% higher. The two periods overlap, so this shows direction and not a clean year-on-year change.
By bedrooms: 1 bedroom S$4,450 (20), 2 bedrooms S$6,150 (10), 3 bedrooms S$9,000 (39) and 4 or more bedrooms S$10,046 (10). The figure in brackets is the number of contracts.
Setting rent against price for 1,500 sq ft and over homes (50 rentals and 7 resale or sub-sale transactions) gives a gross yield estimate of 2.4%: a median rent of S$9,125 a month against a median price of S$4,500,000. It is before maintenance, vacancy, tax and loan costs, and it uses middle values, so a particular home can differ.

What this page cannot tell you
A median is the middle of many different homes in Cairnhill Crest. It does not describe one unit: its condition, facing, view, renovation, floor or stack can each move a price well away from the middle, and none of them is in the records behind this page.
The figures are recorded transactions, so they describe what has sold and not what is on the market now. They are not a valuation, and they say nothing about future prices.
