Bukit Merah 5-room HDB resale prices

How Bukit Merah compares

Of the 26 towns with at least 20 5-room resales in this period, Bukit Merah had the 5th highest median 5-room price. Town medians mix blocks of different ages and locations, so a comparison between towns is a starting point, not a price for your flat.

5-room flats made up 19% of Bukit Merah's 908 resales in this period. Their S$1,065,000 median sits 35% above the town's all-type median of S$790,000, and 31% above the typical 5-room median across towns with a page for this flat type (S$810,000). Nationally, 24,657 flats of all types changed hands, with a median of S$630,000.

Which 5-room flats sell in Bukit Merah

Bukit Merah's 5-room stock is mixed. Improved flats were the most traded (135 sales, 77%, median S$1,130,000), followed by Standard (26 sales, median S$802,500), with Model A also recorded. The S$327,500 gap between the two largest models is a reminder to compare your flat with its own model, not the town figure.

Prices by quarter

The median moved from S$1,159,444 in Oct–Dec 2025 to S$982,500 in Jul–Sep 2026, a change of -15.3%. Each quarter has a different mix of blocks, so this is not a like-for-like price index.

Sales were busiest in Jun 2026 (22 registered) and quietest in Oct 2025 (6). The last three months of the period recorded 50 sales against 32 in the first three (+56%). Registration month lags the agreed sale by a few weeks, so these counts describe when deals completed, not when they were struck.

Prices by floor level

Flats on storey 13 and above sold for a median S$187,000 more than flats on storeys 1 to 6. The bands also differ in lease and location, so this gap is not the value of height alone.

Prices by remaining lease

Remaining lease affects how much CPF and bank loan a buyer can use, which shapes how many buyers can afford an older flat. HDB records the lease left at the time of each sale.

The largest lease group for Bukit Merah 5-room resales was 60-79 years left: 86 sales, or about 49% of this flat type’s recorded transactions, with a median of S$1,132,500. If your flat has a different remaining lease, start with its own band instead of applying the town-wide median.

When Bukit Merah's 5-room blocks were built

The leases on these flats began between the 1970s and the 2010s. Blocks from the 2000s supplied 42% of sales at a median of S$1,141,444, while the 1970s blocks (42 sales) had a median of S$795,000 and the 2010s blocks (15 sales) S$1,465,888. A buyer's CPF and loan limits depend on the lease left, so the decade your block was built shapes who can afford it.

Using this range for your own flat

The middle 80% of Bukit Merah 5-room sales sat between S$770,000 and S$1,375,000, a spread of S$605,000. These are the 10th and 90th percentiles, not the lowest and highest sale prices. The typical floor area in this sample was 115 square metres. Compare that with your layout and size before treating a neighbouring sale as a match.

Half of these flats measured 113-122 square metres. Over 122 sqm flats (37 sales) had a median of S$970,000, against S$1,143,944 for under 113 sqm (36 sales). Bigger did not mean dearer here: the larger 5-room flats in Bukit Merah tend to sit in older blocks, so remaining lease and location outweighed floor area in this sample.

Selling a 5-room flat in Bukit Merah: the agent fee
