10 cheapest places to buy HDB flats in Singapore

Median prices are below $400,000.

HDB resale flats remain attractive to buyers, with some of them willing to fork out higher sums for well-located flats.

Data from SRX show that volume of resale HDB is stable since April at over 1,800 units sold monthly. Resale prices meanwhile declined 0.6% month-on-month in June. Resale prices of 3-room and 5-room flats decreased by 0.7% and 0.8% respectively, while prices of 4-room flats stayed flat.

ERA Key Executive Officer Eugene Lim commented that buying demand is expected to remain resilient, as the price stability serves as a magnet to draw buyers.

Looking at ERA’s resale HDB transactions (which represents almost 50% of market share), transaction volume in Q2 has picked up quite significantly over Q1.

"This is a good indication that buyers are confident that the prices that they are paying is fair market value. High cash premium transactions remain the exception rather than the norm," he said.

According to Lim, prices are not likely to drop significantly, going by current market conditions.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
