Investment report
A plain-language read on The Waterside — genuine strengths, honest risks, an independent fair-value range and a Buy / Watch / Avoid position, all from the data above.
- Strong transaction liquidity — 12 resale deals in the past 12 months, so pricing is well-tested and exit is easier.
- Active rental market — 105 recent lease contracts at a healthy ~1.9% gross yield.
- Well-sized 502-unit project — larger developments trade at firmer $psf and resell faster.
- Katong Park MRT Station MRT within ~399 m — walkable transit underpins rent and resale.
- Positive recent price momentum — median $psf up ~11% versus the prior period.
- Freehold — no lease decay, so strong long-horizon holding power.
- Entry $psf sits ~43% above the D15 median — a location/quality premium that has to keep being earned.
- High quantum (typical unit ~$5,474,400) narrows the resale buyer pool.
- Check nearby new-launch & upcoming TOP supply — a fresh project within walking distance can cap rents and resale for a few years.
