What works in its favour
- Both anchors locked in: 481m to ST ANDREW'S SCHOOL (JUNIOR) and 63m (~1-min walk) to Potong Pasir MRT (Exit B). Strictly within the P1 1km zone, plus walkable to the nearest MRT entrance. This is the non-negotiable demand anchor — kiasu parents AND yield-chasing investors are both your buyers.
- Tight new-launch competition: No active private launch in your district — scarcity supports resale liquidity and pricing.
- 3-bedder × investment — appreciation sweet spot: Sells into the deepest pool — owner-occupier families. That demand floor drives durable capital appreciation. The investor default for total return, not just headline yield.
What to watch out for
- District price gap is wide: New launch PSF is +28% above the 5–10 year resale median in Macpherson / Potong Pasir. Market needs ~6 years of growth to match the entry price.
- Thin transaction volume: Only 3 resale deals in the past year. Equity trap risk — when you want to exit, very few buyers to anchor against.
- Quiet resale demand: Demand pulse 10/100 — only 3 resales in the last 12 months. Thin secondary-market activity; exits can be slow.
Who Sennett Residence suits
- Value-focused buyers comfortable with the location tradeoff
- Own-stay buyers or patient long-term investors not dependent on yield
- Buyers who value a stable, established neighbourhood over speculative upside
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers hunting deep relative value — the market has already priced in most of the story
- Short-term flippers — stamp duty + agent fees demand a 5-year minimum hold
- Buyers wanting a guaranteed top-tier primary within 1km walking distance

Up 32% since 2021 to ~$1,675 psf — market already voted. Only 3 deals the whole year — sell also must queue.
