What sells here

25 homes sold in the last 12 months, down from 54 in the 12 months before.

The most common size was 600 to 899 sq ft, with 40 of the 79 sales in the last 24 months, close to half.

None of the 79 sales in the last 24 months were first sales of new units: all 79 were resales.

The first new sale in our records was in October 2015.

Rents and yield

Rental contracts that began in the 12 months to August 2026 had a median rent of S$4,500 a month (197 contracts). The district's median across every contract was S$4,700, so rents here ran a little below it: about 4% lower.

Over the 24 months the median rent was S$4,300 (371 contracts). The latest 12 months ran a little above that: about 5% higher. The two periods overlap, so this shows direction and not a clean year-on-year change.

By bedrooms: 1 bedroom S$3,350 (72), 2 bedrooms S$4,800 (108), 3 bedrooms S$7,200 (12) and 4 or more bedrooms S$9,666 (5). The figure in brackets is the number of contracts.

Setting rent against price for 600 to 899 sq ft homes (108 rentals and 12 resale or sub-sale transactions) gives a gross yield estimate of 3.1%: a median rent of S$4,800 a month against a median price of S$1,827,500. It is before maintenance, vacancy, tax and loan costs, and it uses middle values, so a particular home can differ.

Across 2 size ranges the estimate runs from 3.1% to 4.2%.

Under 600 sq ft: 4.2% (rent S$3,350 a month, price S$957,500).

Age and lease

12 other projects in District 3 (Alexandra / Commonwealth) were completed within 5 years of Principal Garden and have a price. Their middle price was S$2,274 psf, so Principal Garden sold a little below projects of a similar age: about 6% lower.

The title is a leasehold, so the years remaining shrink each year. The leases and tenure entry in the glossary explains what that means for a buyer.

What this page cannot tell you

A median is the middle of many different homes in Principal Garden. 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.
