- Tip: The most convenient properties in Singapore are situated in HDB Towns or Downtown Singapore.
5. Navigate To

8. Property Key Performance Indicators
- Description: Displays the high level financial key performance indicators of the property.
- Tip: The comparisons in the Guide and Asking KPIs are based on the median KPIs of the property.
a) Price is the median price of the property based on the last 12 months transactions. More information about sales transactions are found on the Recent Sales page.
b) Rental is the median rental of the property based on the last 12 months of rental transactions. More information about rental transactions are found on the Recent Rentals page.
c) PSF is the price per square-feet of the property, calculated by the median price of the property, divided by the size of the property in square-feet. This is a key indicator of the value of the property. One of the key strengths of Cribs is PSF Analysis, found later in the Learn More functions that compares PSF across the property’s ecosystem. It indicates the financial health of the property, in comparison to the market.
d) Rent PSF is the rental per square-feet of the property, calculated by the median rent of the property (if available), divided by the size of the property in square-feet. This is also a key indicator of the value of the property. Another key strength of Cribs is Rent PSF Analysis, found later in the Learn More functions that compares Rent PSF across the property’s ecosystem. It indicates the ability of the property in the rental market.
e) Yield is calculated by the annual median rent, over the median price of the property. Simply put, from an investor’s perspective, for example, $1m was invested in the financial markets and obtained an interest return of 5% annually. This would be equivalent to investing in a property of $1m value, that is rented out for $4,166 per month, yielding 5%. This would assume no capital appreciation on the $1m invested.
f) Guide Price is the projected price of the property, based on past sale transactions. The value is calculated based on Machine Learning algorithms to predict the price movement of the property. There are many factors that are considered in this value and the breakdown is shown in the Price Guide of Learn More options. The comparison percentage is calculated to the median price of the property.
g) Rental Guide Price (not available for HDB) is the projected rental of the property, based on past rental transactions. The value is calculated based on Machine Learning algorithms to predict the rental movement of the property. There are many factors that are considered in this value and the breakdown is shown in the Rental Price Guide of Learn More options. The comparison percentage is calculated to the median rental of the property.
h) Guide PSF is the projected price per square-feet of the property, calculated by the projected price of the property, divided by the size of the property in square-feet.
i) Guide Rent PSF (where available) is the projected rental per square-feet of the property, calculated by the projected rent of the property (if available), divided by the size of the property in square-feet. This is not always available as there may not be any rental transactions for Cribs to make a prediction.
j) Guide Yield is calculated by the annual projected rent, over the projected price of the property.
k) Asking Price is the median asking price in the market, based on the sales listings from major property platforms. This value may not be available if there are no listings in the market for this property.
l) Asking Rent Price is the median rental asking price in the market, based on the rent listings from major property platforms. This value may not be available if there are no listings in the market for this property.
m) Asking PSF is the listings price per square-feet of the property, calculated by the listing median price of the property, divided by the size of the property in square-feet. Cribs takes into account the sales listings for the property across major property platforms. This value may not be available if there are no listings in the market for this property.
n) Asking Rent PSF is the listings rent per square-feet of the property, calculated by the listing median rental of the property, divided by the size of the property in square-feet. Cribs takes into account the rental listings for the property across major property platforms. This value may not be available if there are no listings in the market for this property.
o) Asking Yield is calculated by the annual asking rent, over the median asking price of the property.
