Its “blooming flower” facade and sweeping views of the landed Jervois estate make it one of the more recognisable RCR condos. It’s also especially known for its generously sized units, […] The post Why This Large-Unit Condo in the Jervois Enclave Isn’t Keeping Up With the Market  first appeared on TheFinance.sg.

2018 was when the property market began recovering, after the trough years of 2016/17. At the time, most of us market watchers had the sense that home prices were about to start rising again; but many of us were caught flat-footed when cooling measures came again later in the year.

Dairy Farm Residences had a bit of a rocky start, and you may remember it from complaints about maintenance fees (which were eventually cut by around 40 per cent). That said, Dairy Farm Residences came to market with a mixed-use concept and a strong nature-focused pitch.

Dual-key units have been an interesting property type to watch recently. Previously, we noted that dual-key units appeared to move more slowly at new launches, as of 2025. However, it’s challenging to draw a sweeping conclusion as to why: dual-key units have very different layouts and sizes, and not to mention, the transactions are low.
