How this is computed
Rows cover only the studio inventory in each community, not the whole community, which is why the last column repeats the all-unit community median for contrast. A community appears with at least 15 priced studio records, counting both individually listed units and published unit types. Bedroom counts are as labelled by the developer, so a layout marketed as a convertible studio is counted where the developer put it. Median size is built-up area. Records with an implausible price or size are dropped before any statistic is computed. Figures are OffplanIndex aggregates over developer-published project facts and unit inventories, not a copy of any listing database.
Full definitions, exclusion rules and sources are in the methodology, and what we do and do not republish is set out in the data policy. Built 2026-09-02 from data observed to 2026-07-30. Not investment advice.
