166 million-dollar HDB resale flats sold in the first half of 2022

31 HDB resale flats were transacted for at least a million dollars last month, according to the 99.co and SRX Flash Report on the HDB resale market in June 2022.

This brings the total number of million-dollar flats sold in the first half of 2022 to 166, a 57 per cent increase from the 106 million-dollar flats sold in the same period last year.

June’s number also marks the second-highest number of million-dollar flats transacted in a month, surpassing May’s record of 30. The current all-time record was in December 2021 with 36 of such flats sold.

Nevertheless, these sales represent a tiny percentage of the total number of resale flats at 1.4 per cent, out of the 2,139 resale flats sold last month.

Third million-dollar flat sold in Yishun

A 1,765 sq ft executive apartment at Yishun Street 61 was sold for $1 million last month, becoming the third million-dollar HDB resale flat in Yishun. With the flat completed in 1987, the flat has about 64 years remaining lease.

This transaction makes Yishun become the non-mature estate with the highest number of million-dollar flats sold at three.

Other non-mature estates that have recorded such sales so far are Woodlands with two units sold in May, and Hougang with one unit sold back in 2018.
