Compare the Demand and Supply of Singapore HDB Flats

PropKaki's HDB Market Overview is a free dashboard, with no account needed, that shows Singapore HDB resale price trends using official data from the Housing & Development Board (HDB). It plots the HDB Resale Price Index by quarter alongside median resale prices and rents by town and flat type, plus resale transaction volumes, applications, BTO bookings and sale prices, dwelling stock and residential completions — with some series going back as far as 1960. It reflects HDB's published figures and adds no forecasts of its own.

The HDB Resale Price Index (RPI) is the Housing & Development Board's official measure of how resale flat prices in Singapore move over time. HDB publishes it quarterly, based at 1Q2009 equal to 100, so a reading of 200 means resale prices are roughly double their 2009 Q1 level. PropKaki's HDB Market Overview shows the national RPI by quarter alongside town-level median resale prices, so you can see both the index and the underlying dollar figures.

On PropKaki's HDB Market Overview you can view median HDB resale prices broken down by town and by flat type, drawn from HDB's quarterly resale statistics. The dashboard covers the HDB towns from Ang Mo Kio to Yishun and flat types from 1-room to Executive and Multi-Generation. Median prices are the actual transacted prices in the secondary market, so they reflect what flats really sold for rather than asking prices. Median rent by town and flat type is shown the same way from HDB rental data.

The HDB Minimum Occupation Period (MOP) is a 5-year period during which you must physically occupy your flat before you can sell it on the resale market or rent out the whole flat. The MOP runs from the date you collect the keys and excludes any period you do not live in the flat. It applies to BTO and resale flats bought with grants. Always verify your own MOP status and the latest rules directly with HDB. PropKaki's HDB Market Overview tracks resale market data rather than your individual eligibility.

You can track HDB rental trends on PropKaki's HDB Market Overview, which shows median monthly rent by town and flat type from HDB's approved-subletting data, quarter by quarter, so you can see the direction of rents for yourself rather than relying on a single headline number. The dashboard also shows the number of subletting (rental) cases over time, which indicates how much of the HDB stock is being rented out. All figures come from HDB.

A BTO (Build-To-Order) flat is a new flat sold directly by HDB at subsidised prices, while a resale flat is bought from an existing owner on the open market at the prevailing market price, which is usually higher. PropKaki's HDB Market Overview shows BTO sale prices from HDB's 'Price Range of HDB Flats Offered' dataset — both gross and after CPF housing grants — alongside median resale prices from HDB's quarterly resale statistics, so you can compare the new-sale and secondary markets side by side.

Gross rental yield on PropKaki's HDB Market Overview is calculated as median monthly rent multiplied by 12, divided by median resale price, for the same town, flat type and quarter, using HDB data. The headline figure is the median yield across all available town and flat-type combinations. It is a gross figure — it does not deduct maintenance fees, vacancy, agent fees or taxes — so the net yield an owner keeps is lower.

PropKaki's HDB Market Overview covers HDB flats only; for private condominiums, landed homes and executive condominiums, PropKaki has a separate Singapore Private Residential Market Overview built on official URA data. The HDB figures here are refreshed when HDB publishes new data: resale prices, transactions, applications and rents are released quarterly, while BTO bookings, dwelling stock and completions are released on a financial-year basis (April to March).
