There have been an increasing number of resale HDB selling over the 1 million mark. Located next to the business district, the Pinnacle@Duxton was completed in late 2009. Being the first 50-storey public housing project in Singapore, it garnered significant attention due to its unique features such as the sky bridges (connecting the towers through the 26th and 50th floors).
In addition, residents find it convenient with basic amenities such as Outram Park and Tanjong Pajar Plaza a short walking distance away. It does not come as a surprise that the highest number of resale HDB units transacted at 1 million is located there with the astonishing views and convenience that residents can enjoy.

Furthermore, it was noteworthy that when the pandemic first started in March, one of the unit in Pinnacle @Duxton was sold at a record breaking price for $1.232 million, which is a 5-room(1,151 square feet) flat, edging out the previous $1.205 million record set in July 2019 for a flat in Boon Keng. The seller even profited an $800k profit, which is 187% more than its original price.
That aside, we have seen quite a few resale HDB selling over the $1 million mark as well. In 2020 alone, 82 resale HDB units were sold at above $1 million.
Fast-forward to February 2021, a new record of 23 HDB resale units was sold for more than S$1 million with 36 HDB resale flats transacted above S$1 million in the first 2 months. The highest transacted price for a resale flat last month was worth S$1.21 million which is an executive maisonette located at Toh Yi Drive.
Yet, the trends may not be always constant. An example is the mansionette unit sold in Toh Yi Drive in February had 66 years worth of lease remaining only. Furthermore, a unit on the Mei Ling Street and Dawson Road broke 1 million dollar last month while located on the fourth to sixth floor.
However, do not be disheartened that premium flats such as DBSS tends to be getting premium prices as they resemble condos more than a HDB. There are countless things you can do that increases your resale HDB value while making profitable sum from the resale. Just remember, buyers are always willing to fork out a handsome sum of money to obtain a house with spaciousness and good ventilation! According to a survey conducted by Propertyguru, as Singaporeans spend more time nowadays due to the pandemic, ventilation and lighting has become a priority when it comes to choosing a new home.
