How is this worked out? — this project’s 3 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.

Nearest growth node: Paya Lebar Central — ~2.2 km away (built out) → 72 · Nearest MRT ~230 m (Tanjong Katong) → 97 · Price momentum — too few recent sales to score  =  average

The average of the 3 sub-scores above.
Risk flags
Thin transactions — 0 sales in 12 months, so the price signal is noisy · Limited rental data — 0 rental contracts, so the yield estimate is soft
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

Orchid Mansion is a freehold project in D15 Marine Parade with limited yield data, thin liquidity and strong school demand (Tanjong Katong Primary School within 1 km). It sits ~2.2 km from the Paya Lebar Central growth node (built out).

Best suited for
  • Capital growth buyers
  • Family demand 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.
  • Verify the school 1 km boundary & current MOE rules — priority is not a guarantee.

Investment report

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

Growth-corridorFamily-demandsignals — how they're defined
Why this may work
  • In the Paya Lebar Central URA growth precinct — a corridor earmarked for new jobs, transport and amenities.
  • Oversubscribed primary school (Tanjong Katong Primary School) within 1 km — a durable family-demand anchor.
  • Tanjong Katong MRT Station MRT within ~230 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 (0 sales/12 mo) — 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.

HomeVestor fair range$1,576–$1,742 psf

See the D15 comparables behind that district base on the map below — switch on “District condos by $psf” in the layers (this project vs cheaper/pricier neighbours).

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.

Popular schools nearby

Proximity to an oversubscribed primary school is a major driver of family demand. Being within 1 km gives the top P1 balloting priority; 1–2 km is next.
