District 21's Upper Bukit Timah and Ulu Pandan posted the highest TOX among districts with more than 10 resale transactions, of positive S$70,000, which suggests that most of the buyers in that specific district purchased units above the value that is projected by the computer-generated market price.

District 26's Upper Thomson, Springleaf posts the most negative median TOX at S$12,000 among relatively active districts, meaning that most of the buyers in that district purchased units below the computer-generated market value.
