St Francis Court · Apartment · District 12 · Leasehold
On balance, St Francis Court points up.
Strong track record, sitting inside Kallang – Sports Hub & riverside — the fundamentals buyers pay up for are here.
Why it's pushing up
What matters most for you
- Convenient — MRT about 10 min on foot; 13 supermarkets, 3 food & retail spots nearby.
- Rentable — steady rental demand; transport and schools nearby keep tenants coming.
And what makes it better
- Every unit type has risen — 4-bed +42.0%, 3-bed +23.4% since 2021.
- A Primary-1 priority school within 1km — a real family draw.
- Inside Kallang – Sports Hub & riverside — a government-committed long-term catalyst.
What's holding it back
- Leasehold, ~65 years left — the lease clock weighs on price and financing the older it gets.
- Its recent +9.2%/yr rode a hot cycle — don't bank on that pace repeating.
- The market's near the top of its cycle — mind your entry price.
Should I buy?

No agent, no listing, no one paying us — so we’ll say it plainly, whichever side of the table you’re on, for the size you picked.
If you’re buying
≤ $0.95M
Aim at the middle or below. A patient buyer has been getting closer to $0.92M.
If you’re selling
~$0.99M
List at the top of fair; realistic close is $0.95M–$0.96M unless it’s a high floor.
Why no rush either way: Seller’s Stamp Duty means a buyer can’t sell penalty-free for ~4 years — so you’re holding regardless. That’s your leverage to negotiate down now, not overpay.
The reality check — does the gain even make sense?
Our blunt read: ~$1.34M over 10 years at this project’s own pace. It works — but forward from a cycle top, treat it as a maybe, not a promise. This is our own POV, not a forecast — the pace is the project’s own (~9.2%/yr), and past pace never promises the future.

If you’re buying — the outlook
St Francis Court
Rest of Central Region (RCR) · District 12 · ~$1,185 psf
Prices are near the top of the cycle, and the government is still cooling it — but cheap loans and steady immigration are holding them up. For St Francis Court, its own prices have been flat lately. Over a 4-year hold, expect modest growth — not a big jump.
On balance, the wind is leaning to your favour.
What it means for you: At ~$1,185 psf, St Francis Court is priced below similar new projects nearby — good value against its peers. Its own prices are still climbing (~9.2%/yr over ~4 years). You'd also be buying near the top of the cycle, so entry price matters. So — negotiate, don't overpay, and plan to hold past the 4-year stamp-duty window before selling.
The signals behind it
Dots show how much weight each one carries.
Holds prices back
Prices are near the top — up 33% in 5 years, well above the 4.6%/year long-run pace. Less room left to climb.
About neutral
St Francis Court's own prices have gone flat over the latest year.
About neutral
The city fringe (RCR) sits in the middle of the three areas on long-run growth.
Holds prices back
The government is still cooling the market — the latest was SSD back to 4 years at 16/12/8/4% (2025). That caps how fast prices can run.
Supports prices
Loan rates are cheap right now (~1.08%) and falling. Easy to carry — which supports prices, but also means more buyers competing with you.
Supports prices
Against salaries, prices aren't expensive by past standards — people can still afford to buy.
Supports prices
Lots of new people keep moving to Singapore (non-residents up ~16% over 5 years) — steady demand for homes and rentals.
Supports prices
Not many new units are being built in this district (~777) — less new supply competing with you.
Supports prices
New launches in this district are selling well — 3 recent ones are around 95% sold, so buyer demand here is healthy right now.
Holds prices back · small effect
The government keeps releasing a lot of new land (~9,200 units this half-year) — more future supply that can weigh on prices years down the road.
Holds prices back · small effect
Foreign buyers are almost gone since the 60% tax (~1.4% of buyers) — a small drag on the city fringe.
About neutral
Rents across Singapore have flattened out lately.
Supports prices · small effect
There's more CPF money sitting ready to put toward a home than a few years back — a small support in the background.
Supports prices · small effect
The economy is growing (5% last year) and jobs are steady (1.9% unemployment) — no alarm bells.
Supports prices · small effect
Building costs are high (up ~39% since 2010) and still creeping up — developers can't build cheap, which puts a floor under new-launch prices.
Built from real public data (URA price index back to 1975, plus rates, immigration, rents, the economy). It prepares you — it never promises a price.
How far could it go — and when?
Is the price high? ~$1,185 psf is ~44% below similar nearby projects (~$2,100). good value
(The whole city fringe average is ~$1,830 psf — but that lumps in older stock, so we compare like with like, not against that.)
What’s realistic here? Its own record and its real neighbours — not the market.
St Francis Court has grown ~9.2%/yr over ~4 years. Similar nearby: The Orie 4.9%, Eight Riversuites 4.8%, Gem Residences 3.2%, Trevista 7.9%, Verticus 2.7% — a 2.7–7.9%/yr spread (most around 4.8%).
You can’t sell for ~4 years without a penalty. Seller’s Stamp Duty is 16/12/8/4% in years 1–4, then 0% — so the honest question is what happens from year 4 on.
