Every number on this page is our count from HDB's resale transaction data on data.gov.sg, by registration month, checked on 23 Oct 2026. It is our arithmetic on HDB's published records, not an HDB statistic. October 2026 is a partial month, so 2026 should read higher once the month is complete.

Our count from HDB's resale transaction data on data.gov.sg, registration month, checked 23 Oct 2026. October 2026 is a partial month. "All other towns" are Bukit Timah, Pasir Ris, Sengkang, Marine Parade, Jurong East, Yishun, Bukit Batok and Bukit Panjang. The 15 named towns add to 1,474 in 2025, plus 119 gives 1,593. In 2026 they add to 1,555, plus 125 gives 1,680.
Some towns moved a lot between the two years. Bedok went from 39 to 98, Punggol from 4 to 26 and Ang Mo Kio from 80 to 120. Toa Payoh's 2026 figure is lower than its full 2025 figure, but 2026 is still missing part of October and the rest of the year.
Which flat types and sizes reach S$1 million?
Mostly 5-room and 4-room flats, then Executive flats. 3-room flats and Multi-generation flats are rare at this price.

We did not split the count by floor area, so we do not say which sizes in sqm are most common. HDB says floor area in its dataset is approximate. The record flat above is 113 sqm.
Is the number still rising?
On the counts, yes through 2025 and into 2026. 2024 had 1,035, 2025 had 1,593, and 2026 has 1,680 to a partial October. Month by month, 2026 looks like this.

A month's count can shift slightly as late registrations arrive. Counts here say nothing about next year, and we do not forecast.
For context, HDB's resale price index slipped 0.1% in 3Q2026 to 202.5 (HDB's final figures, 23 Oct 2026; its 1 Oct flash had said 0.2%). In 2Q2026 it fell 0.3% to 202.8 (HDB's final figures, 24 Jul 2026). HDB's final figures also show 7,645 resale transactions in 3Q2026, up 19.5% from 6,396 in 2Q2026. See our items on the 3Q2026 final figures, the 1 Oct 2026 flash and 2Q2026 HDB resale. Our reading: the two can sit side by side, because the index covers every resale flat and these sales are a small slice of them.
What does a million-dollar flat mean if you are an HDB upgrader?
Our reading: it is a data point, not a price for your flat. It is a small and concentrated slice of resales: mostly larger flats in a handful of towns. Your own flat's price depends on its town, type, storey, lease and the recent sales near it, and HDB's dataset lets you look those up.
If you are weighing a move from HDB to private property, our upgrading from HDB guide covers the move. How resale buying works, including the grant and valuation steps, is in the HDB resale flat guide. Loan limits are in the home loan guide and TDSR and MSR explained. The wider HDB hub links to the rest.
How did we count?
- Dataset: HDB's "Resale flat prices based on registration date from Jan-2017 onwards" on data.gov.sg. It held 243,399 records when we captured it on 23 Oct 2026. Its metadata shows it was last updated 23 Oct 2026, 02:10 SGT.
- Threshold: resale price of S$1,000,000 or more. A flat sold at exactly S$1,000,000 counts.
- Date: month of registration, not the date of the option to purchase or completion. October 2026 is partial.
- What HDB leaves out: HDB says the dataset excludes resales that may not reflect the full market price, such as sales between relatives and part shares. It also says floor area is approximate and prices are indicative only.
- What we did not do: we did not count all resales, so this page gives no percentage of the market. We also publish no block numbers.
The count is ours. If you need a number you can quote, open the dataset and filter it yourself.
