Why Bukit Panjang, Bukit Batok and Choa Chu Kang Trade as Near-Twins in Q1 2026

While headlines in the first quarter of 2026 fixated on million-dollar HDB deals in Bukit Merah and the luxury launches along Orchard, a quieter story unfolded in Singapore's western corridor. Bukit Panjang — long dismissed by upgraders as a "second-choice" town — has positioned itself as the mid-tier anchor of the West, offering buyers a substantial discount against Clementi while pricing virtually identically to Bukit Batok and Choa Chu Kang.

Singapore's HDB Resale Hotspots for Q1 2026 — From Woodlands to Bukit Timah

Singapore's HDB resale market remained firmly active in Q1 2026, with 6,068 transactions recorded across January to March — and a market-wide average resale price of S$658,448.

But averages mask a far more interesting story. Beneath the headline numbers lies a tale of two markets: towns where thousands of buyers transact every quarter at surprisingly affordable prices, and rare enclaves where barely a dozen flats change hands — at prices that would make private condo owners do a double-take.

Kriosm tracked every resale transaction across all 26 HDB towns in Q1 2026. Here's what the data reveals.

DBSS median hits S$950k in 2025

DBSS (Design, Build and Sell Scheme) is the “premium HDB” segment—built by private developers, typically with more condo-like layouts/finishes, and usually in stronger locations. In 2025, DBSS deals were rare, but they punched far above their weight in price.
