99.co reported that 209 HDB flats were resold for at least S$1 million in September 2026, a new monthly high that made up 9.3% of the month's resale volume. The count compares with 201 such sales in August 2026. For readers who track upgraders and right-sizers, the report offers a view of the top end of the HDB resale market. From an investor's angle, the rise from 201 to 209 is 8 additional sales, set against a 10.9% fall in overall volume, so the top end held up better than the market as a whole.
Toa Payoh led these sales with 33, followed by Queenstown with 28 and Bedok with 20, together 81 of the 209. Those three towns account for about 39% of the 209, leaving 128 spread across other estates. Overall HDB resale volume fell 10.9% from August to 2,248 flats in September, though that was 2.8% above September 2025. By flat type, four-room units were 44% of transactions, five-room 26.1%, three-room 20.6% and executive flats 9.3%. Non-mature estates took 54.5% and mature estates 45.5%, according to 99.co.
According to 99.co's data and analytics head, removal of the wait-out period for private homeowners has renewed interest in the resale market. Buyers right-sizing after selling a private home may hold substantial sale proceeds and the ability to pay a premium. The increase in the BTO income ceiling may also have led some buyers to reassess, and some may wait for the November BTO exercise.
Prices were steadier than volume. In 99.co's figures, overall resale prices rose 0.6% from August but stayed 0.4% below September 2025. Five-room prices rose 1.7% month on month, while three-room, four-room and executive prices eased. Mature-estate prices rose 1.4% from August and sat 0.6% above September 2025; non-mature-estate prices rose 0.1% and were 1.2% below the level of a year earlier.
