Price Trend Analysis: Understanding Market Movement
Analyzing East Meadows transaction data from 2024 through 2025 reveals important patterns about market stability and pricing momentum. In January 2024, 3-bedroom units were transacting at S$4,750 to S$5,200 per month in the rental market, while resale prices hovered around S$1.22 to S$1.35 psf. By mid-2024, there was slight price softening, with some units trading at S$3.12 to S$3.75 psf in the rental market.
The most recent transactions from September to October 2025 show stabilization, with 3-bedroom units settling at approximately S$1,460,000 (S$1,222 psf). This suggests that after the price adjustments of mid-2024, the market has found equilibrium. The consistency of recent transactions indicates healthy demand from both owner-occupiers and investors, which is a positive signal for long-term value retention.
For investors, this stabilization period is significant—it indicates that East Meadows has moved past any speculative pricing phases and now reflects genuine market value based on supply, demand, and comparable developments in the area.
Rental Market Performance and Yield Potential
The rental market at East Meadows demonstrates consistent demand, with 3-bedroom units commanding monthly rents of S$4,300 to S$4,500 (as of late 2025). This translates to approximate annual gross yields of 3.5% to 3.8% for investors—a respectable return for a mature, well-located development.
The rental demand reflects East Meadows' strategic positioning near Tanah Merah MRT station and its appeal to expatriate families and young professionals seeking established residential communities. The development's proximity to quality schools, shopping facilities, and transport connectivity makes it particularly attractive to tenants willing to pay premium rents for convenience and stability.
Investors should note that rental yields at East Meadows are competitive with other District 16 developments, though they may be lower than newer projects with premium amenities. However, the trade-off is lower entry prices and more predictable tenant demand, which Homejourney emphasizes as important for creating a safe, trustworthy investment environment.
Development Profile: Understanding What You're Investing In
Project Name: East Meadows
Location: Tanah Merah Kechil Road, District 16
Developer: Far East Organization

Total Units: 482 units across 3 blocks
Tenure: 99-year leasehold (from March 1998)

East Meadows' maturity as a development—now over 20 years old—means the property has undergone natural market testing and established its position within the Bedok residential landscape.

Location Advantages: Why District 16 Matters
East Meadows' positioning on Tanah Merah Kechil Road provides direct access to the Tanah Merah MRT station, a critical advantage for commuters. The development is within walking distance of this major transport hub, which connects to the East-West Line and provides rapid access to the CBD, Changi Airport, and other key Singapore destinations.
The Upper East Coast corridor, where East Meadows is located, has evolved into a mature residential zone with excellent amenities. Nearby shopping options include Cold Storage East Village and Giant Supermarket, while hawker centres provide affordable dining. The area is also home to quality schools including Anglican High School and Temasek Secondary School, making it attractive for families.
The development's location in District 16 positions it within Singapore's established east-side residential belt, where property values have historically demonstrated stability and consistent appreciation over long-term holding periods.
Comparative Market Position: How East Meadows Stacks Up
Within District 16 and the broader Bedok area, East Meadows occupies a middle-market position. Its current pricing of S$1,273 to S$1,464 psf is competitive for established developments, though newer projects or those with premium amenities may command higher premiums. This positioning is actually advantageous for value-conscious buyers and yield-focused investors.
The development's 482-unit scale provides sufficient liquidity for resale and rental markets—a key advantage over smaller boutique developments where finding buyers or tenants can be challenging. This liquidity is something Homejourney prioritizes when helping users evaluate investment safety and marketability.
