District 12 isn’t usually the first place you’d expect to find outperformers. Mention Balestier or Novena, and most buyers think of supper spots and old apartments before they think of condos. And to be frank, it is true that D12 is rather heavily built-up, and available land parcels are small; but there are boutique condos here that have punched above their weight, given the tight surroundings.
So, have boutique condos here managed to hold their own as investments? We analysed 10 years of resale transactions (2014–2024) to find out.
