HuatScore: 73/100 — Solid Choice!
Is The Gazania a good buy?
HuatScore rates The Gazania 73/100 — a "Solid Choice!" verdict. That makes it a solid buy for buyers who prioritise a central, well-connected address and investors chasing a workable ~3.3% yield. Strongest card: Genuinely well-connected. Main watch-out: Pricing is already full. Negotiate hard — pricing leaves little margin of safety.

Key facts
- Verdict: Solid Choice!
- Region: Outside Central Region

- Completed: 2022

- Developer: SingHaiyi Group
- Avg PSF: ~$2,204 psf

What works in its favour
- Genuinely well-connected: Location scores 10/10 — MRT and daily amenities are within practical reach, which is what keeps both tenant demand and the resale pool deep.
- Inside the school-belt draw: Schools score 9/10 — sought-after primaries sit within the 1–2km band, the single most reliable source of durable family demand in Singapore.
- Rental demand supports ~3.3% gross: Rental scores 7/10 — tenants are findable in this pocket, so an investor is not underwriting long vacancy between leases.
- Precinct has a catalyst: Growth scores 7/10 — infrastructure or Master Plan work in the area gives this a reason to re-rate beyond general market drift.
What to watch out for
- Pricing is already full: Value scores 5/10 at ~$2,204 psf (entry from $1.04M) — the market has recognised this address, so the upside case needs to actually play out rather than merely re-rate.
- Plan a patient exit: Exit scores 6/10 across 250 units — a thinner resale pool means fewer comparables and a longer runway to sell. Budget five to eight years minimum.
Who The Gazania suits
- Buyers who prioritise a central, well-connected address
- Yield investors — ~3.3% gross is workable; favour larger unit types
- Buyers who value a stable, established neighbourhood over speculative upside
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers who need a margin of safety — pricing is full and leaves little room for error
- Short-term flippers — stamp duty + agent fees demand a 5-year minimum hold
- Buyers wanting a guaranteed top-tier primary within 1km walking distance
