How accurate is this estimate for The Essence?
We re-ran the estimate as of Q4 2025 on what was known at the time, then compared it with the 3 sales in The Essence since.
- Median error
- 1.9%
Half the estimates came closer than this to what the home actually fetched, half missed by more.
A thin test: 3 sales, so read the figure as a hint, not a verdict.
What the rent says
What this home earns against what it costs, set beside what homes like it earn.
4.09% gross yield
S$42,900 of rent a year against the estimate above · 0.7 points above flats like it
Leases signed here within a quarter of this size run about S$3,575 a month, the middle of 8 of them.
In outside the central region, leasehold flats with 90 to 99 years of lease left yield 3.39%, from 20 projects.
A yield above the mark means the flat rents well for what it costs, which can point to a keen rental patch or a price the sales alone have not caught up with. Below it, buyers are paying for something a tenant will not, such as the address itself.

Where the lease takes this
About 90 years of the 99-year lease remain. Every figure below lets the lease run down on the decay measured from private resales in this market, then applies the price path in that column. The paths are scenarios to choose between, not forecasts.
| From now | Lease left | Prices flat | Prices 2% a year | Prices 4% a year | This market's record, 4.58% a yearmeasured |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 years | 85 years | S$959,768 | S$1,059,662 | S$1,167,705 | S$1,200,631 |
| 10 years | 80 years | S$891,391 | S$1,086,601 | S$1,319,476 | S$1,394,937 |
| 20 years | 70 years | S$775,627 | S$1,152,542 | S$1,699,495 | S$1,899,441 |
On a flat market the lease alone costs 26% over 20 years. Prices would need to rise about 1.52% a year to cancel that out.
The measured column repeats what this market did between Q1 2015 and Q2 2026, which was 4.58% a year. Past growth is not a promise of future growth.
Horizons we have not measured are left out rather than guessed at, so a short lease shows fewer rows.
Indicative estimate from comparable caveats. Not a formal valuation.
