HDB resale flat type price guide

Flat type is one of the fastest ways to make HDB resale comparisons more honest. A 4-room resale price should be compared against other 4-room evidence before it is judged against the whole estate.

Data is for research and comparison only.

Largest flat type sample 4-room 374,964 resale records

Flat types tracked 7 With resale evidence

Compare like-for-like first

Flat type can change the resale price more than many buyers expect. A headline estate median may be pulled by the mix of 3-room, 4-room, 5-room and executive transactions.

Start with the same flat type, then look at floor area, storey range and street.

What to make of this

For HDB resale, the read should move from estate to street to flat type, then finally to the actual block story. The main anchors here are largest flat type sample 4-room (374,964 resale records) and all-time median $310,000 ($285 psf median). The estate median is a good first read, but the street and flat type are where the price starts to feel real.

4-room (All HDB resale records) is the first row I would open, with transactions 374,964 and median price $305,000. If the top comparison does not match the flat type or street you care about, do not force it. A less glamorous but closer comparable is usually more useful.

What I would check next

I would move from the estate page into the street page, then filter mentally by flat type. A 4-room resale and an executive flat can make the same estate look very different.

If the asking price is above the street evidence, the flat should have a reason buyers can see: lease balance, condition, floor, view, renovation, larger area or stronger daily convenience.

Why PSF still matters

Two 4-room flats can have different floor areas, layouts and remaining leases. PSF helps you see whether the size-adjusted price is stretched.

PSF is not enough by itself. It needs to be read with total price, remaining lease, renovation, floor and location.

Use flat type with street pages

The best resale check combines estate, street, flat type and floor area. That is how you avoid comparing a compact flat against a much larger one.

If the street page has enough data, it should be the next stop after the flat type check.

Quick answers

Short answers based on the current data view.

Should I compare a 4-room flat to the estate median?

Use the estate median as context, but compare against 4-room evidence before judging the asking price.

Why do flat type medians differ so much?

Flat type changes size, buyer pool, affordability and supply, so the resale price can move a lot.

Does flat type replace street comparison?

No. Use flat type and street together for a cleaner benchmark.
