Headline prices are designed to attract attention. They are not useless, but they are rarely enough to decide whether a project is good value.
Quick takeaways
- Always check the actual unit stack and floor price.
- Compare total quantum, not only PSF.
- Understand why certain stacks are cheaper before assuming they are bargains.
- Ask whether the quoted price is still available.
What “from price” usually means
A “from” price normally highlights the lowest available or indicative price for a unit type. It may not represent the preferred floor, facing or stack that most buyers want.
PSF can hide quantum problems
A lower PSF may still mean a high total quantum if the unit is large. A higher PSF may still be acceptable if the total quantum is efficient and the layout is strong. Compare both together.
Be careful with discounts and promotions
Discounts may be linked to less popular stacks, limited time campaigns or developer sales strategy. The key is to ask why that unit needs a discount.
- Is the stack facing a road, substation or bin centre?
- Is the layout less efficient?
- Is the floor level less desirable?
- Is there competing supply nearby?
How to compare price properly
Remove units outside your comfort zone.
Check usable space and future marketability.
Understand why one unit costs more than another.
Avoid units that may be harder to resell later.
