What Could Work Against You

  • Only 2 transactions were recorded in the past 12 months, so the price figures here rest on a thin sample — a single outlier deal can move the averages.
  • At 43 units, this is a boutique development — fewer comparable sales to anchor valuations, and maintenance costs spread across a smaller fee base.
  • Completed in 1993, the development is over 33 years old — budget for rising maintenance, dated M&E systems, and the possibility that value increasingly rests on en-bloc potential rather than the units themselves.

Who This Actually Suits

Buyers most likely to be happy here: car-owning households, international school families, yield-focused investors and long-term hold (10+ yr). At ~521m from the nearest MRT, this property suits households with a car who value arterial road access over transit proximity.

For foreign / absd-aware buyers, it can work — but weigh the trade-offs before committing.


Verdict

VILLE ROYALE is a freehold development in District 9 (CCR), with 43 units, offering a gross yield of 2.4%.
