Sembawang 5-room HDB resale prices

How Sembawang compares

Of the 26 towns with at least 20 5-room resales in this period, Sembawang had the 2nd lowest 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 28% of Sembawang's 871 resales in this period. Their S$640,000 median sits 7% above the town's all-type median of S$600,000, and 21% below 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 Sembawang

Almost every 5-room flat sold here was HDB's Improved model: 200 sales, or 83% of the recorded total, at a median of S$650,000. With one model dominating, differences between sales come down more to storey, lease and condition than to layout.

Prices by quarter

The median moved from S$637,000 in Oct–Dec 2025 to S$634,000 in Jul–Sep 2026, a change of -0.5%. Each quarter has a different mix of blocks, so this is not a like-for-like price index.

Sales were busiest in Jan 2026 (29 registered) and quietest in Jun 2026 (11). The last three months of the period recorded 70 sales against 62 in the first three (+13%). 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$2,000 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 Sembawang 5-room resales was 60-79 years left: 181 sales, or about 75% of this flat type’s recorded transactions, with a median of S$620,888. If your flat has a different remaining lease, start with its own band instead of applying the town-wide median.

When Sembawang's 5-room blocks were built

The leases on these flats began between the 1990s and the 2020s. Blocks from the 2000s supplied 57% of sales at a median of S$605,000, while the 1990s blocks (44 sales) had a median of S$671,000 and the 2020s blocks (27 sales) S$815,000. 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 Sembawang 5-room sales sat between S$570,000 and S$815,000, a spread of S$245,000. These are the 10th and 90th percentiles, not the lowest and highest sale prices. The typical floor area in this sample was 111 square metres. Compare that with your layout and size before treating a neighbouring sale as a match.

Half of these flats measured around 111 square metres. Over 116 sqm flats (45 sales) had a median of S$670,000, against S$630,888 for 110-116 sqm (195 sales). At the overall median of S$5,636 per square metre, a 5 square metre difference is worth roughly S$28,180 on paper, before storey, lease and renovation are taken into account.

Selling a 5-room flat in Sembawang: the agent fee

On the median 5-room price of S$640,000, an illustrative 2% commission with GST comes to S$13,952.00. The Fairnest seller package is a fixed S$2,178.91 incl.
