How did the sale of 189 Schooner Ct come together?
Situation
A compact condo with a clear outdoor feature
The listing came to market as a 732-square-foot, ground-floor one-bedroom condo in Marina Bay. The property combined an updated kitchen and bath with a fireplace, in-unit laundry, built-in storage, and a private patio.
Recent nearby 1-bedroom, 732-square-foot Schooner Ct sales gave buyers several points of comparison. That made condition, presentation, pricing, and the unit's own features important parts of the launch.
Strategy
Prepare the presentation, then lead with the patio and interior
Preparation included a pre-listing scope covering paint, fireplace touch-up, patio cleaning and old-carpet removal, moulding repair, and shower-tile grout work. Deep cleaning and window cleaning.
Professional photography showed the living room, updated kitchen, bedroom, bath, built-in storage, private patio, ground-floor entry, and covered parking. The gallery keeps the unit interior and patio ahead of common-area context because those are the strongest property-specific features.
The home launched at $319,000 on May 28, 2026. The public description centered features: the updated interior, one-level layout, private patio, fireplace, in-unit laundry, parking, and community amenities.
Result
$325,000 sale - $6,000 over asking
Seller-side records show the listing moved to pending on July 2, 35 calendar days after the May 28 list date. Two documented offers.
The transaction closed on July 29, 2026 for $325,000. That was $6,000 above the $319,000 original list price, a result of about 1.9% over asking.

What should owners know about recent Marina Bay sales?
Recent nearby sales give useful context, but they are not a price formula. A 1-bedroom, 1-bath, 732-square-foot condo at 197 Schooner Ct sold for $340,000 on May 26, 2026. Other 732-square-foot one-bedroom sales at 113 Schooner Ct and 198 Schooner Ct closed at $350,000 in December 2025 and July 2025.
Those sales show that even similar units on the same street can close at different prices. Condition, floor position, light, outdoor space, HOA information, financing, timing, and contract terms can all affect a buyer's decision and the final result.
Local pricing note: 189 Schooner Ct sold for $325,000 after being listed at $319,000. Owners considering a sale should compare the most recent closed units and current competition at the time they list.
