Clarification on Resale Prices of Converted HDB Flats

In a blog post, Mr Phillip Ang suggested that the $910,000 median resale price of converted flats cited by Minister for National Development Chee Hong Tat in his Parliamentary reply on 7 October was based on outdated figures. The blog post alleged that resale prices of converted HDB flats in 2026 were substantially higher. Both points from Mr Ang are factually incorrect.

The median resale price of $910,000 cited by Minister Chee was based on actual transactions of converted flats in 2025. It did not include transactions from earlier years. Based on transactions up to 3Q 2026, the median resale price of converted flats also remained comparable to that in 2025, contrary to Mr Ang's claim that prices were hundreds of thousands of dollars higher.

HDB publishes actual resale transaction data to help buyers make informed decisions. Members of the public can refer to recent resale transactions (https://go.gov.sg/hdb-resale-statistics) to better understand the prevailing market prices and evaluate their housing options.

There have been some online discussions over a YouTube video of the “small” kitchen layout of a 4-room BTO flat at Garden Waterfront I @ Tengah.

Some members of the public have shared that this layout provides home owners with flexibility to configure the space to suit their preferences. This is indeed HDB’s objective – to provide different flat designs to meet the needs of different buyers.

At Garden Waterfront, the open-concept kitchen comprises wet and dry areas designed to function together. The “small” kitchen referred to in the video is the wet kitchen. While the wet kitchen is compact, the adjoining dry kitchen provides additional space for countertops, storage and appliances. Together, these areas occupy approximately 10 sqm, roughly the size of a standard kitchen in newer HDB flats that come with a service yard. 10 sqm is also the rough size of a common bedroom in an HDB flat.

Since 2018, the open-concept kitchen has been the standard design for new BTO flats whenever the layout permits. This is popular with many of our HDB flat buyers, as the layout meets their evolving lifestyle needs and provides home owners with greater flexibility in how they use their living spaces.

Flats at Garden Waterfront also feature beam-free living spaces, giving home owners greater flexibility to configure their homes. Those who cook frequently may choose to allocate more space for a bigger kitchen, while others may use the space creatively to accommodate a larger dining or living area.

To help flat buyers make an informed choice, floor plans with layout ideas are provided before flat selection so they can consider how the layout meets their household needs and preferences.

🏠 Selling your HDB flat? Here’s what you need to know.

A licensed solicitor is required to handle the legal transfer of ownership of the flat, which includes preparing legal documents, verifying the property title, and ensuring you receive your sale proceeds upon completion.

For most ordinary resale transactions, you have the option of appointing either HDB or a private solicitor. In some cases where the transaction may be more complex due to personal or family circumstances, HDB will advise you to engage a private solicitor to safeguard your interests.

Nestled in MacPherson Weave are four playgrounds inspired by the fruits and vegetables that were once grown around Circuit Road. 🍉🌿

The reference to the area's heritage extends beyond the playgrounds, to fruit motifs used for wayfinding at the residential blocks, and nearby landmarks incorporated into a cheery maze garden. See if you can spot what they are!

MacPherson Weave also received the Construction Award at this year's HDB Awards. The project team overcame the challenges of building on a site close to an operating MRT station and underground services, while maintaining high construction safety standards. They also harnessed advanced technologies such as painting robots to boost productivity.
