Map of 5 private developments in Novena that recorded a caveat in the last 12 months. Each square is one development, placed at its own coordinate and coloured by median price per square foot. URA permits derived statistics and not the caveats themselves, so a square is a median across a development rather than one sale.

4,397 of 4,826 contracts are in the rows above. 420 carry no bedroom count and 9 are in sizes with too few lettings to publish.
Contains information from the URA Data Service. Private rents and HDB rents are two registers and are never combined; the only figure that spans them is the gross yield, which is a ratio, and even there the assets differ: every HDB flat is a 99-year lease that cannot be let at all during its first five years, while a private unit may be freehold.
