PSF vs Quantum: What Is a Good Property Really Worth?
Low PSF looks like a bargain — but if the property is that good, why has its PSF stayed low? What PSF really tells you, why quantum is the reality check, and what true value actually is.
Key takeaways
- 1
PSF is the comparing tool — it tells you what the market is paying for this location, this project and this floor, right now.
- 2
Ask the uncomfortable question: if this property is so good, why has its PSF stayed low for years? The market prices in what it knows.
- 3
Low PSF usually has reasons — ageing lease, weak location, poor layout. A cheap entry that stays cheap is not value; it's just cheap.
- 4
Some projects always look expensive on PSF, yet buyers kept paying more year after year — that's demand and scarcity talking.
- 5
Quantum is the reality check: it decides your loan, your monthly, and who can afford to buy from you at exit. True value = proven demand + lasting scarcity + a quantum the next buyer can carry.
