HDB flats
Nine in ten Singaporeans live in an HDB flat. These pages show what flats actually sold and rented for, block by block, from HDB's own records. Every flat sits on a , so how much lease is left matters as much as the price.

How HDB differs from private property
Every lease is 99 years
An HDB flat is a 99-year lease from the year its block was built, not a freehold. An older flat has less lease to sell on, which shows up in the price.
You must live in it first
The minimum occupation period is five years for most flats and ten for Plus and Prime flats. Only then can you sell it or rent the whole flat out.
Prices are per block and flat type
HDB publishes the block, the flat type and a three-floor band, but never the unit. So every figure here is a median for a block and a size, not for one flat.
