How Much Do Homes Cost in Singapore? Prices by Type and Size, From HDB Flats to Landed Houses
The median price of each main kind of home in Singapore, from a 2-room HDB flat to a detached house: condos and apartments by size, new and resale, what a 2-bedroom unit costs, ECs, landed homes and the stamp duty on top.
Resale and private homes in Singapore run from a median $375,000 for a resale 2-room HDB flat to $12,680,000 for a detached house. A 4-room HDB resale flat cost a median $630,000 in 2026 H1; in the 12 months to 30 August 2026, an executive condominium sold for $1,710,000, a condo or apartment for $1,952,600 and a terrace house for $4,500,000 (new and resale together). A condo or apartment of 600 to 999 sqft, the size band 72% of 2-bedroom rental contracts fall in, sold for $1,710,000: $1,975,000 new and $1,420,000 resale. Condos, apartments and ECs rented for a median $4,300 a month (July 2025 to July 2026).
What a home costs in Singapore depends first on what kind of home it is: an HDB flat, an executive condominium, a private condo or apartment, or a landed house. This guide gives the median price of each, breaks condos and apartments down by size and by new sale or resale, and adds the stamp duty a buyer pays on top.
HDB figures are resales in 2026 H1, the latest complete half-year; private figures are URA caveats from 30 August 2025 to 30 August 2026. A median is a dated snapshot: the home you look at will have its own price.
How much does a home cost in Singapore?
At the median, from $375,000 for a resale 2-room HDB flat to $12,680,000 for a detached house. A 4-room HDB flat resold for $630,000 in 2026 H1; a condo or apartment sold for $1,952,600 and a terrace house for $4,500,000 in the 12 months to 30 August 2026.
The median price of each kind of home, with the buyer's stamp duty on it, before any additional buyer's stamp duty (IRAS):
| Home | Median price | Buyer's stamp duty at the median | Period |
|---|---|---|---|
| HDB 3-room flat (resale) | $443,000 | $7,890 | 2026 H1 |
| HDB 4-room flat (resale) | $630,000 | $13,500 | 2026 H1 |
| HDB 5-room flat (resale) | $740,000 | $16,800 | 2026 H1 |
| HDB executive flat (resale) | $910,000 | $21,900 | 2026 H1 |
| Executive condominium (all sales) | $1,710,000 | $55,100 | latest 12 months |
| Condo or apartment (all sales) | $1,952,600 | $67,230 | latest 12 months |
| Terrace house | $4,500,000 | $209,600 | latest 12 months |
| Semi-detached house | $6,300,000 | $317,600 | latest 12 months |
| Detached house | $12,680,000 | $700,400 | latest 12 months |
HDB prices are resales in 2026 H1; private prices are URA caveats for 30 August 2025 to 30 August 2026, new sales and resales together. Condos, apartments and ECs together sold for a median $1,880,000, the figure our buying guide uses. New flats bought from HDB are priced differently; see BTO flat types, sizes and prices. How far apart condo and HDB prices are, like for like, is in the condo vs HDB price gap.
Each step up the ladder is a different kind of home, not just a bigger one: compare within a type before across types.
How much does an HDB flat cost?
A resale 4-room flat cost a median $630,000 in 2026 H1, from $375,000 for a 2-room to $910,000 for an executive flat. By town, the median 4-room ran from $534,000 in Jurong West to $1,167,500 in the Central Area.
HDB resale prices and sizes in 2026 H1, by flat type:
| Flat type | Median price | Median floor area | Resales |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2-room | $375,000 | 47 sqm (506 sqft) | 380 |
| 3-room | $443,000 | 67 sqm (721 sqft) | 2,925 |
| 4-room | $630,000 | 93 sqm (1,001 sqft) | 5,379 |
| 5-room | $740,000 | 116 sqm (1,249 sqft) | 2,793 |
| Executive | $910,000 | 146 sqm (1,572 sqft) | 741 |
By town. Across the 25 towns with at least 20 four-room resales in the half, the median 4-room ran from $534,000 in Jurong West to $1,167,500 in the Central Area. The full ranking is in HDB resale prices by town, and prices over time in the Singapore property transactions overview.
What happens to an HDB flat as its lease runs down, and when the first leases end, is in 99-year leasehold explained.
A 4-room flat is the middle of the HDB market; the town moves its price as much as the flat type does.
How much does a 2-bedroom apartment cost in Singapore?
About $1,710,000 at the median: that is what condos and apartments of 600 to 999 sqft sold for in the 12 months to 30 August 2026, the size band 72% of 2-bedroom rental contracts fall in. New units sold for $1,975,000 and resales for $1,420,000.
URA's sale records do not record bedrooms, so PropKaki uses a size band and checks it against URA's rental contracts, which do:
- 74% of private rental contracts of 600 to 999 sqft are for 2 bedrooms, and 72% of 2-bedroom contracts fall in that band (URA records rental sizes in 100 sqft ranges; the middle half of 2-bedroom rentals sits in the ranges around 650 sqft to 950 sqft).
- Condos and apartments of that size sold for a median $1,710,000 (8,817 sales): $1,975,000 for new units from developers and $1,420,000 for resales.
A 1-bedroom rental is typically about 550 sqft and a 3-bedroom about 1,250 sqft (median sizes in the same rental contracts).
"2-bedroom" is a size band in the data, and in that band new units sold for more than half a million dollars more than resales.
How do condo and apartment prices change with size?
Across all sizes the median condo or apartment sold for $1,952,600, the median price per sq ft was $2,129 and the median size 947 sqft (three separate medians). By size, median prices run from $980,000 under 600 sqft to $4,900,000 at 2,000 sqft and over, and new sales sold for more than resales in every band.
Condos and apartments together (20,575 sales, 30 August 2025 to 30 August 2026):
| Size | Bedrooms in rental contracts of this size | Median price, all sales | Median new sale | Median resale | Median $psf | Sales | New-sale share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Under 600 sqft | 1 bedroom (90%) | $980,000 | $1,520,000 | $875,000 | $1,978 | 2,286 | 29% |
| 600 to 999 sqft | 2 bedrooms (74%), then 1 (16%) | $1,710,000 | $1,975,000 | $1,420,000 | $2,198 | 8,817 | 50% |
| 1,000 to 1,499 sqft | 3 bedrooms (66%), then 2 (27%) | $2,450,700 | $3,061,550 | $2,060,000 | $2,108 | 7,074 | 38% |
| 1,500 to 1,999 sqft | 3 bedrooms (69%), then 4 (26%) | $3,320,000 | $4,555,300 | $2,957,500 | $2,020 | 1,615 | 25% |
| 2,000 sqft and over | 4 bedrooms (60%), then 3 (34%) | $4,900,000 | $7,280,000 | $4,650,000 | $1,923 | 783 | 9% |
The bedroom column is inferred from URA's rental contracts, not recorded on sales. New sales are a different mix from resales (newer, often smaller units in different locations), so the new-resale gap is not the price of newness alone. Prices by district are in private property prices per sq ft by district.
Size sets the price band; within each band, new launches sold for more than resales.
How much does an executive condominium cost?
A median $1,710,000 across all EC sales in the 12 months to 30 August 2026: $1,825,000 for new units from developers and $1,550,000 for resales.
Executive condominiums are sold by developers to eligible buyers under HDB's rules, and resold on the open market after the minimum occupation period. In the 12 months to 30 August 2026, 3,143 EC sales had a median of $1,710,000: $1,825,000 for new units and $1,550,000 for resales (1,650 resales). Who can buy an EC, and when it can be sold, is in how to buy a home in Singapore.
An EC sits between an HDB flat and a condo in price, and new ECs cost more than resold ones.
How much does a landed house cost in Singapore?
At the median, $4,500,000 for a terrace house, $6,300,000 for a semi-detached house and $12,680,000 for a detached house, in the 12 months to 30 August 2026.
| House type | Median price | Median land area | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|
| Terrace | $4,500,000 | 1,873 sqft | 1,084 |
| Semi-detached | $6,300,000 | 3,412 sqft | 597 |
| Detached | $12,680,000 | 6,485 sqft | 235 |
These are national medians over land-titled houses; the land area is the plot, not the built-up area. Terrace and semi-detached prices compared district by district are in semi-detached vs terrace house.
Each step up in house type comes with about twice the land, and a higher price.
What the price indices say
URA's private Property Price Index rose 0.5% in 2026Q2 and 2.9% over the year, carried by landed homes: non-landed prices slipped 0.1% in the quarter. HDB's Resale Price Index was 202.8, 0.3% lower than the quarter before and level with a year earlier.
- Private homes: URA: "The overall private residential price index increased by 0.5% in 2nd Quarter 2026, lower than the 0.9% increase in the previous quarter", and "Prices of landed properties increased by 2.5% in 2nd Quarter 2026 ... Prices of non-landed properties decreased by 0.1%" (URA). Over the year the index rose 2.9%.
- HDB resale flats: HDB's Resale Price Index (first quarter of 2009 = 100) stood at 202.8 in 2026Q2, down 0.3% on the quarter and level with a year earlier.

In mid-2026, landed prices rose, condo prices slipped and HDB resale prices held level: a dated fact, not a forecast.
What is the cheapest area to live in Singapore?
To buy a 4-room HDB flat, Jurong West: its median 4-room resale price was $534,000 in 2026 H1, the lowest of 25 towns, against $630,000 nationally. The cheapest town differs by flat type, and for private homes by district.
HDB. Jurong West had the lowest median 4-room resale price in 2026 H1, $534,000; the Central Area had the highest, $1,167,500. Every town is ranked in HDB resale prices by town.
Private homes. Price per square foot by postal district, cheapest to dearest, is in private property prices per sq ft by district.
The cheapest town for a flat is not the cheapest for every home: check the type you are buying.
How much does it cost to rent a home in Singapore?
A median $4,300 a month for a private condo, apartment or EC, across 92,478 rental contracts from July 2025 to July 2026.
Private rents by bedroom count are in the Singapore property transactions overview, and HDB rents by flat type and town in renting out an HDB flat or room.
Rent against price is worked through in how to calculate rental yield.
Renting and buying are priced in different units; the yield is what links them.
What does buying cost on top of the price?
Buyer's stamp duty on every purchase: $13,500 on a median 4-room HDB flat, $67,230 on a median condo or apartment and $209,600 on a median terrace house. Additional buyer's stamp duty applies to PRs, foreigners (unless an FTA gives them citizen treatment), companies and buyers who already own a home.
Buyer's stamp duty is charged "based on the purchase price or market value of the property, whichever is higher", from 1% on the first $180,000 up to 6% on the part above $3 million (IRAS). At the medians in the ladder above: $13,500 on a 4-room HDB flat, $67,230 on a condo or apartment and $209,600 on a terrace house. Additional buyer's stamp duty comes on top where it applies: from 5% for a PR's first home to 60% for foreign buyers and 65% for entities (IRAS), except that nationals and PRs of Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway or Switzerland, and US nationals, get citizen treatment under free trade agreements (IRAS).
The downpayment, the cash and CPF needed, and the steps are in how to buy a home in Singapore.
The price is not the bill: stamp duty adds a few percent even on a citizen's first home.
The biggest mistake people make reading home prices
Comparing medians that mix different homes. A condo median mixes new launches and resales: for 600 to 999 sqft units, new sales went for $1,975,000 and resales for $1,420,000. Match the type, size and sale type before comparing.
- New vs resale: the same size band can differ by more than half a million dollars ($1,975,000 new against $1,420,000 resale for 600 to 999 sqft).
- Place: a 4-room flat ran from $534,000 to $1,167,500 by town.
- Time: HDB medians here are for 2026 H1; private ones for the 12 months to 30 August 2026.
A median answers "what does a typical one cost", not "what should this one cost".

Methodology and sources
Where every figure comes from, and what we deliberately did not claim.
PropKaki figures. HDB prices and sizes are medians of HDB resale records for 2026 H1, the latest complete half-year (12,227 resales), matching PropKaki's HDB price series. Private prices are medians of URA sale caveats lodged so far for 30 August 2025 to 30 August 2026, the same 12-month window as PropKaki's condo statistics; the latest months are still being lodged. Landed medians are PropKaki's landed statistics for the same 12 months (land-titled houses). The bedroom counts beside each size band come from URA's private rental contracts for July 2025 to July 2026, which record bedrooms and sizes (in 100 sqft ranges, taken at their midpoints); sale caveats record no bedrooms. The price indices are URA's and HDB's quarterly indices. Stamp duty applies IRAS's residential bands to each median. How we work: PropKaki methodology.
