Why a range, not one number. No record shows your floor, facing, renovation or lease, and where your unit sits inside this spread depends on them.

What changes from one home to the next.

Floor, surroundings, nearby sales, afternoon sun and the history of the land—shown only where the public record carries enough to say something.

What the floor is worth

This block—

Too few filed sales at both ends of this block — it needs 3 high and 3 low. The figure beside is CENTRAL AREA, not here.

CENTRAL AREA, typical block+6%

Middle of 5 blocks in CENTRAL AREA that clear the bar — half fall between +5.2% and +8.3%. None came out negative in this set.

Every band in CENTRAL AREA, for reference. Pooled across buildings, so it mixes the age of an estate with height; the two figures above hold a building constant.

What's around

Straight-line distance from the building — the walk is longer, and how much longer depends on what is in the way.

Distance stops ordering Phase 2C at one of these schools, from the 2027 registration exercise. At St. Margaret'S School (Primary) (marked 2C two-track), 300m buys nothing over 1.5km in that phase. Phases 2A and 2B are unchanged.

What MOE changed

MOE is splitting Phase 2C places equally into a track for homes within 2km and a track for homes beyond it, with neither track having priority over the other, at twelve schools where public housing is under 40% of dwelling units within 2km. Both tracks ballot within themselves, and a home beyond 2km goes from last in line to half the places. Every other school in this list is unchanged. Announced 10 September 2026; it first applies to children entering Primary 1 in 2028.

The 1km band gives ballot priority, not a school place. These distances are an indication. Check your address's official category with OneMap's SchoolQuery.

How this distance differs from MOE's

MOE measures in a straight line to the school's land boundary from the address on your child's registration. This site measures from the block to the school's single registered coordinate. A large campus can therefore read as further away here, and a school near the line can fall on either side when MOE measures it. An oversubscribed school still ballots within a band.
