How is this worked out? — this project’s 4 sub-scores, from its own data
Each sub-score is 0–100 (higher = better), built from this project’s actual figures — here are the exact drivers behind each one.
Capital growth · 68
Nearest growth node: One-North — ~2.3 km away (built out) → 63 · Nearest MRT ~463 m (Pasir Panjang) → 74 · Price momentum — too few recent sales to score  =  average

The average of the 4 sub-scores above.
Risk flags
Thin transactions — 3 sales in 12 months, so the price signal is noisy
Note: risk flags are screening signals from the data — not confirmed defects; check each against the actual unit, title & MCST.
A screening heuristic — not financial advice; verify every figure and your own budget before transacting.
Investor verdict

Banyan Condominium is a freehold project in D5 Queenstown with 2.6% gross yield, thin liquidity. It sits ~2.3 km from the One-North growth node (built out).

Best suited for
  • Capital growth buyers
Less suited for
  • pure rental-yield investors
Key due-diligence
  • Confirm the exact unit stack, facing and floor — our figures are project medians.
  • Stress-test cashflow at +1–2% interest in the calculator below.

Investment report

A plain-language read on Banyan Condominium — genuine strengths, honest risks, an independent fair-value range and a Buy / Watch / Avoid position, all from the data above.

Why this may work
  • In the One-North URA growth precinct — a corridor earmarked for new jobs, transport and amenities.
  • Active rental market — 41 recent lease contracts at a healthy ~2.6% gross yield.
  • Pasir Panjang MRT Station MRT within ~463 m — walkable transit underpins rent and resale.
  • Freehold — no lease decay, so strong long-horizon holding power.
Why this may fail / what to watch
  • Thin liquidity (3 sales/12 mo · 104-unit project) — a slower, choppier exit and a softer price signal.
  • Check nearby new-launch & upcoming TOP supply — a fresh project within walking distance can cap rents and resale for a few years.

Fair-value range

Several independent value bases — more informative than a single median. The combined range weights the project-specific bases most.

How is this worked out? — the value bases & combined range
Project median
Recency-filtered median $psf of this project’s own resale caveats (ground & top-floor units excluded).
Same-size comps
Recency-weighted median $psf of caveats within ±25% of the typical unit size (6-mo full, 6–12-mo 70%, 12–24-mo 40%) — the comparable-sales method used in our Valuation tool.
District-comparable
Median $psf across all projects in the same district — a market-level sanity check (a genuinely superior project can sit above it).
Yield-supported
The $psf at which today’s median rent would return a 3.4% target gross yield for a RCR project — anchors price to rental fundamentals.
Combined range
A weighted blend (comps 28%, yield 28%, project median 22%, district 22%); the band width (±5–13%) reflects how far the independent bases disagree, so a genuinely over- or under-priced project sits outside it.

BUY — below fair
WATCH — around fair
AVOID — above fair
