Setting rent against price for 900 to 1,199 sq ft homes (24 rentals and 6 resale or sub-sale transactions) gives a gross yield estimate of 2.4%: a median rent of S$6,150 a month against a median price of S$3,050,000. 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 Residences. 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.
