How these figures are calculated
- Median, not average
- Every price is the median of registered sales — half sold for more, half for less — so a handful of trophy deals cannot pull it up.
- Period
- Headline figures cover the 12 months to 12 Nov 2026; changes compare them with the same 12 months a year earlier. Calendar-year figures are in the history table; the current year is year to date.
- Scope
- All registered sales of apartments with studio layouts, both primary (developer) and resale, off-plan and ready. Gifts, grants and non-sale registrations are excluded.
- Price per sq ft
- Median of each sale’s price divided by its registered size in square feet.
- Gross rental yield
- Annual rent as a percentage of price, before service charges, fees and vacancy, as calculated in the source dataset and rounded to two decimal places.
