Dawson 5-room HDB flat sets new HDB resale record, selling for $1.818m

A five-room resale HDB flat at SkyParc @ Dawson has been sold for a record $1.818 million, making it the highest price paid for a resale HDB flat.

The unit, located at Block 96 between the 40th and 42nd storeys, was transacted in October and spans approximately 111 sqm, according to HDB's website.

It has a remaining lease of approximately 94 years, with its 99-year lease commencing in 2021.

Recent transactions show that units at this development have generally changed hands for between $1.12 million and $1.65 million over the past six months.

The previous record was set in April, when a five-room HDB flat at City Vue @ Henderson in Redhill was sold for $1.728 million .

The unit, located at Block 96A Henderson Road, was situated between the 46th and 48th floor and spans approximately 1,216 sq ft.

SkyParc @ Dawson, which was completed in December 2020, is situated near Queenstown and Commonwealth MRT stations.

The development is one of the replacement sites under the Tanglin Halt Selective En bloc Redevelopment Scheme and comprises of 810 flats, including two-room Flexi and three-, four- and five-room units, spread across three residential blocks.

Classified as Premium Apartments, the flats come with higher-end specifications and finishes compared with standard Build-To-Order (BTO) flats.

High floor, location and size contribute to record price

Chief researcher and strategist at Realion (OrangeTee & ETC) Group, Christine Sun, told AsiaOne that homes that command higher prices are typically those with attractive attributes, such as high-floor locations and proximity to the city centre.

Sun noted that the recently sold 111 sqm unit is relatively large for a new five-room flat, making it a rare offering in the resale market.

"This is particularly so as newer BTO flats in Prime and Plus locations, especially those in the city fringe, typically no longer offer five-room configurations. Homebuyers may be willing to pay a premium for similar attributes when considering neighbouring flats," she added.

While the transaction has set a new record, surpassing the previous high of $1.728 million paid for the five-room flat in Redhill by 5.2 per cent, Sun said more resale transactions could potentially cross the $1.8 million mark.

"With the removal of the 15-month wait-out period for former private property owners, this could encourage more private homeowners to right-size to HDB resale flats," said Sun.

"Some of these buyers may also have sufficient cash proceeds from the sale of their private properties to pay for such resale flats."

Nonetheless, Sun cautioned that such high-value transactions remain the exception rather than the norm, and do not reflect broader resale market trends.

HDB resale prices fall for 3rd straight quarter

The transaction comes as HDB resale prices fell for the third consecutive quarter in Q3 2026, even as the number of resale flats sold increased, according to data released by HDB on Oct 23.

HDB noted that the Resale Price Index fell by 0.1 per cent in Q3, marking the third consecutive quarter of decline. This followed decreases of 0.1 per cent and 0.3 per cent in the first and second quarters of 2026, respectively.

Meanwhile, the number of resale flats changing hands rose by 19.5 per cent to 7,645 transactions in Q3, up from 6,396 in the previous quarter.

位于道森 SkyParc 的一套五房式转售组屋以创纪录的 181.8 万美元售出，成为转售组屋的最高成交价。

根据建屋发展局网站的信息，该单元位于第 96 座 40 层和 42 层之间，于 10 月份完成交易，面积约为 111 平方米。

该物业剩余租期约为 94 年，其 99 年租期将于 2021 年开始。

最近的交易数据显示，过去六个月里，该项目的单元房成交价通常在 112 万美元至 165 万美元之间。

此前的纪录是在今年 4 月创下的，当时位于 Redhill 的 City Vue @ Henderson 的一套五房式组屋以 172.8 万美元的价格售出。

该单元位于亨德森路 96A 座，位于 46 层和 48 层之间，面积约为 1,216 平方英尺。

SkyParc @ Dawson 于 2020 年 12 月竣工，位于皇后镇和联邦地铁站附近。

该项目是唐林坊选择性整体重建计划下的替代地块之一，包括 810 套公寓，其中两房灵活户型和三房、四房、五房户型分布在三个住宅楼内。

这些公寓被归类为高级公寓，与标准预购组屋（BTO）相比，其规格和装修更为高端。

高楼层、优越的地理位置和宽敞的面积共同促成了创纪录的价格

Realion（OrangeTee & ETC）集团首席研究员兼策略师 Christine Sun 告诉 AsiaOne，价格较高的房屋通常具有一些有吸引力的属性，例如高层位置和靠近市中心。

孙先生指出，最近售出的这套111平方米的单位对于一套新建的五房式组屋来说面积相对较大，因此在二手房市场中较为少见。

她补充说：“尤其是在黄金地段和黄金地段，特别是城市边缘地带的新建组屋，通常不再提供五房式户型。购房者在考虑邻近组屋时，可能愿意为类似的户型支付溢价。”

虽然这笔交易创下了新的纪录，比之前红山五房式组屋172.8万美元的最高纪录高出5.2%，但孙先生表示，更多的转售交易可能会突破180万美元大关。

孙先生表示：“取消原私人房产业主15个月的等待期，可能会鼓励更多私人住宅业主换购组屋。”

“其中一些买家可能还有足够的现金，可以通过出售自己的私人房产来支付这些二手公寓的费用。”

不过，孙先生也提醒说，这种高价值的交易仍然是例外而不是常态，并不能反映更广泛的二手房市场趋势。

组屋转售价格连续第三个季度下跌

根据建屋发展局 (HDB) 10 月 23 日发布的数据，尽管转售组屋的数量有所增加，但 2026 年第三季度组屋转售价格连续第三个季度下跌。

建屋发展局指出，第三季度转售价格指数下跌0.1%，这是连续第三个季度下降。此前，2026年第一季度和第二季度分别下跌了0.1%和0.3%。

与此同时，第三季度二手房交易量增长了 19.5%，达到 7,645 套，高于上一季度的 6,396 套。
