Bukit Merah’s first S$900K 3-room HDB resale – how far is S$1 million?​

Updated: January 16, 2026·9 min read·by Sophiyanah David

When you think about a 3-room HDB flat, affordability likely comes to mind first. For many buyers, this flat type has long been seen as a more budget-friendly entry point into the resale market. However, over the past couple years, that long-held belief has been steadily challenged. Prices have been moving up, records have been falling, and expectations have been rewritten.

In December, for instance, a 3-room resale flat in Sembawang changed hands for S$673,000, setting a new benchmark for the non-mature estate. That transaction alone raised eyebrows. After all, if a town like Sembawang can command such a price for a smaller flat, what about mature, centrally located estates?

at least four three-room resale Housing Board flats were sold for between $900,000 and $935,000.

[SINGAPORE] The wealthiest 1 per cent of resident households in Singapore hold about 14 per cent of the Republic’s total household wealth, while the top 5 per cent hold about 33 per cent, Senior Minister of State for Finance Jeffrey Siow said on Wednesday (Feb 25).

These are broadly comparable to advanced economies with similar wealth Gini coefficients as Singapore, he said in Parliament, even as he warned that these estimates “should be interpreted with caution, due to sample size limitations and potential under-reporting in survey responses at both ends of the distribution”.

In a subsequent social media post, Siow pointed out that Singapore is comparable to the likes of Japan, Australia and Finland, and significantly less concentrated than countries such as the UK and the US.

The inflows also came amid conflicts in Europe and the Middle East, strained US-China ties and uneven growth in China that have unsettled regional investors.

(Feb 25): Singapore’s three biggest banks pulled in a combined $77 billion in net new wealth money last year as geopolitical tensions and trade uncertainty pushed Asia’s rich to move more assets to the city state.

Nuclear Power SG in 2040?

Nuclear power near cities not really likely as one mishap and entire property value drops.

Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp (OCBC) said on Wednesday that net new money rose 30% to $27 billion, lifting wealth assets under management (AUM) to a record $343 billion.

The results follow similar disclosures from DBS Group Holdings Ltd, which reported $39 billion in fresh inflows, bringing its wealth AUM to $488 billion. United Overseas Bank Ltd (UOB) reported $11 billion in net new money, with high-net-worth AUM reaching $201 billion.

The figures highlight how Singapore’s lenders are relying more on wealth fees as loan margins narrow. That shift towards more wealth and investment products boosted the banks’ wealth management fee, which rose 33% at OCBC and 29% at DBS last year.

The inflows also came amid conflicts in Europe and the Middle East, strained US-China ties and uneven growth in China that have unsettled regional investors.
