Aljunied Crescent HDB resale and rental guide

Why Aljunied Crescent gets searched

Aljunied Crescent is one of those HDB streets where the broad estate number is too blunt. The street has 2,423 resale records from Jan 1990 to Jun 2026, with an all-time median resale price of $200,000 and median PSF of $256 psf. That long history is useful, but it also means the old records can pull the all-time number far below the current market.

The more current read is sharper. Over the last 12 months, Aljunied Crescent recorded 38 resales with a median price of $440,000 and median PSF of $597 psf. In 2026 YTD, the street has 18 resales with a median price of $397,500 and median PSF of $564 psf.

That jump between all-time and recent numbers is exactly why a buyer should not stop at the headline median. Older Aljunied Crescent sales tell the history. The last 12 months and 2026 YTD tell you what current buyers have been accepting.

What to make of this

This rental guide is most useful before a viewing, when you can still be objective about rent. The main anchors here are resale records 2,423 (Jan 1990 to Jun 2026) and last 12m median resale $440,000 ($597 psf across 38 sales). I would use the town or street number as the guardrail, then adjust for flat type, furniture, condition and lease timing.

Aljunied Crescent resale (Street-level HDB resale evidence) is the first row I would open, with last 12m median $440,000 and 2026 ytd median $397,500. For tenants, the question is whether the asking rent is supported. For landlords, the question is whether a slightly sharper rent could reduce vacancy risk.

What I would check next

I would compare the asking rent against the town or street rent, then adjust for flat type and condition. For HDB rentals, a clean renovation or better furnishing can matter, but it still needs to sit near the evidence.

If the rent is materially above the page signal, ask what problem the higher rent solves. If the answer is only that the market is hot, check the nearby streets before accepting it.

Read Aljunied Crescent inside Geylang

Aljunied Crescent sits inside the Geylang HDB estate. The street median should be compared with the estate page, but the street page is usually the better starting point if the flat is actually on Aljunied Crescent. A Geylang-wide median blends different streets, distances to MRT, block ages and flat mixes.

The street also has enough data to stand on its own. With 38 last-12-month resales, a buyer can start from the street before widening to the estate. If the exact block has enough evidence, the comparison can narrow again. That sequence is better than jumping straight from one listing to the whole estate.

The most common mistake is treating a popular estate as one market. Aljunied Crescent should be compared with nearby Geylang streets, but the first read should stay close to the street and flat type.

Flat type mix changes the price

The street is heavily shaped by 3-room flats. The loaded data shows 1,739 3-room resales, with a median price of $176,000 and median PSF of $241 psf. That is the deepest flat-type signal on the page.

The 4-room story is different: 351 resales, median price of $276,000 and median PSF of $279 psf. The 5-room sample is smaller at 171 resales, but the median price rises to $400,000 with median PSF around $307 psf.

This is why a single street median can mislead. A 3-room buyer and a 5-room buyer are not negotiating from the same number. The street page gives the broad frame, but the flat type decides the useful comparison.

The recent resale range

The last 12 months show a median resale price of $440,000, an average resale price of $471,732, and a high recorded resale of $818,000. The gap between median and average tells you the recent mix includes some higher-price flats, but the median still gives the cleaner central anchor.

For 2026 YTD, the median is $397,500 and the average is $408,111. That is lower than the last-12-month median in the current data, so I would avoid reading one period as the whole direction. Use both views. The last 12 months give a wider sample, while 2026 YTD shows the latest recorded activity.

If an asking price sits above the recent median, it may still be fair. The unit needs a reason: flat type, floor, remaining lease, renovation, corner position, better block, view or scarcity. If the listing does not explain the premium, the buyer should ask for the closest recent street transactions.

Block depth matters

Some blocks on Aljunied Crescent have much deeper resale histories than others. The most active resale blocks in the loaded data include Blk 109 (289 resales, median $154,000), Blk 101 (230 resales, median $189,000), Blk 99 (213 resales, median $202,500), Blk 95 (208 resales, median $173,200). That does not mean the most active block is automatically the best block. It means the block gives buyers and sellers more evidence to work with.

The highest block-level max price in the current block summary is Blk 110, with a recorded high of $880,000. A high block record can be useful, but it should not become the default asking price for every unit. The buyer still needs to compare flat type, storey range, area and remaining lease.

Block-level data is especially helpful when the street has many similar blocks. If the exact block has enough transactions, start there. If it does not, use nearby blocks with similar flat types before falling back to the whole street.

Rental demand gives another lens

Aljunied Crescent also has rental evidence. The current rental file shows 493 rental records from Jan 2021 to May 2026, with an all-time median rent of $2,550. Over the last 12 months, median rent is $2,950 across 98 rentals.

The 2026 YTD rental read is similar, with 45 rental records and a median rent of $2,900. That matters for two audiences. Landlords can check whether the asking rent is defensible. Buyers who may rent out later can use rent as a demand signal, while still remembering that HDB rental rules and eligibility matter.

Rent does not set resale value by itself. It does, however, show whether the street has tenant demand at current prices. For Aljunied Crescent, the rental sample is large enough to make the rent page useful.

Flat type rent checks

The rental flat-type split is practical. 3-room flats show 382 rental records with a median rent of $2,500. 4-room flats show 63 rental records with a median rent of $3,000. 5-room flats show 15 records with a median rent of $3,500.

A tenant should use the flat-type rent before reacting to a listing. A 3-room rent should not be judged against a 5-room rent. A landlord should do the same before setting the ask. If the listing is above the flat-type median, the unit needs a clear reason such as renovation, furnishing, high floor, air-conditioning, lease flexibility or a cleaner handover.

The rental table can also help a buyer think about fallback options. If the plan might include renting out later, the street rent gives a guardrail. It still needs to be checked against HDB rules, owner eligibility and timing.

Is an asking price fair?

A fair resale price on Aljunied Crescent should be tested in layers. Start with the street's last-12-month median. Move to the same flat type. Then check the exact block and storey range if enough data exists. Only after that should the buyer compare the wider Geylang estate.

For example, a 3-room asking price should be compared with the 3-room median of $176,000 and then with recent street transactions. A 4-room asking price belongs closer to the 4-room evidence around $276,000 before any estate-wide comparison. A 5-room price needs even more care because the sample is smaller and the total price can move quickly.

If the seller is anchoring to a high recent sale, ask whether the flat is similar. Same street is not enough. Same flat type, similar size, similar storey range, similar remaining lease and similar condition make the comparison stronger.

What sellers should take from the data

A seller should not quote the all-time median of $200,000 as the main anchor. It is too low for today's market because it includes transactions from the early years of the dataset. The recent numbers are more useful for setting expectations.

The last-12-month median of $440,000 and the 2026 YTD median of $397,500 are better starting points. From there, the seller should adjust for flat type, block, floor, renovation, lease balance and buyer demand. A well-renovated 4-room flat should not be marketed like an older 3-room flat just because they share the same street.

The strongest asking price story is easy for a buyer to verify. It points to nearby transactions, explains the unit's premium, and avoids pretending the most expensive record is the normal price for every flat.

What landlords and tenants should take from the data

For landlords, the current last-12-month median rent of $2,950 is a cleaner anchor than the all-time median rent of $2,550. The last-12-month sample is closer to current market conditions and still has enough records to be useful.

For tenants, the flat-type split matters most. A 3-room tenant should start with the $2,500 3-room rent signal. A 4-room tenant should start near $3,000. A 5-room tenant should compare against the $3,500 5-room signal, then check furnishing and lease length.

The best rent negotiation is not dramatic. It shows the relevant flat-type evidence, then explains the counteroffer. If the unit is above the median but has better condition or furniture, the premium may be reasonable. If the unit is ordinary, the data gives the tenant room to push back.

How to use the Aljunied Crescent pages

Open the Aljunied Crescent street page first. Use the street page for resale price, PSF, flat type mix, active blocks and recent transactions. Then open the Geylang estate page if the street sample is too narrow for the exact flat type.

For rent, use the same street page as a starting point, then check flat type and recent rental month. If the rent is above the last-12-month flat-type median, ask what explains it. If the rent is below the median, check condition, floor and lease constraints before assuming it is a bargain.

The useful answer is not one number. Aljunied Crescent has enough data to support a layered read: street first, flat type second, block third, estate fourth. That is the order I would use before buying, selling, renting or renewing.
