• Locations: High-value sales are concentrated in mature estates (e.g., Bishan, Tiong Bahru, Clementi) or areas with unique attributes (e.g., Dakota Crescent’s heritage appeal).
• Trend: The frequency of million-dollar HDB sales has increased over time, with prices rising from S$1.05 million in 2022 to S$1.588 million in 2025, reflecting strong demand and limited supply of such units.
