Bukit Timah 5-room HDB resale prices

How Bukit Timah compares

Of the 26 towns with at least 20 5-room resales in this period, Bukit Timah had the 4th 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 41% of Bukit Timah's 58 resales in this period. Their S$1,107,500 median sits 10% above the town's all-type median of S$1,010,000, and 37% 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 Timah

Bukit Timah's 5-room stock is mixed. Improved flats were the most traded (17 sales, 71%, median S$1,188,000), followed by Standard (7 sales, median S$1,020,000). The S$168,000 gap between the two largest models is a reminder to compare your flat with its own model, not the town figure.

Prices by quarter

Some quarters have too few sales to read a trend from, so treat the movement below with caution.

Sales were busiest in Nov 2025 (4 registered) and quietest in Aug 2026 (1). The last three months of the period recorded 7 sales against 6 in the first three (+17%). 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$20,000 less 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 Timah 5-room resales was 60-79 years left: 17 sales, or about 71% of this flat type’s recorded transactions, with a median of S$1,188,000. If your flat has a different remaining lease, start with its own band instead of applying the town-wide median.

When Bukit Timah's 5-room blocks were built

The leases on these flats began between the 1970s and the 1980s. Blocks from the 1980s supplied 71% of sales at a median of S$1,188,000, while the 1970s blocks (7 sales) had a median of S$1,020,000. 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 Timah 5-room sales sat between S$990,000 and S$1,280,000, a spread of S$290,000. These are the 10th and 90th percentiles, not the lowest and highest sale prices. The typical floor area in this sample was 122 square metres. Compare that with your layout and size before treating a neighbouring sale as a match.

Half of these flats measured around 122 square metres. Over 123 sqm flats (5 sales) had a median of S$1,240,000, against S$1,100,000 for 122-123 sqm (17 sales). At the overall median of S$9,078 per square metre, a 5 square metre difference is worth roughly S$45,390 on paper, before storey, lease and renovation are taken into account.
