5-room DBSS flat in Bishan sells for S$1.71 million - Mothership
A similar unit located between 31 and 33 floors was sold for S$1.6 million in September 2026.
A resale five-room Design, Build and Sell Scheme (DBSS) flat in Bishan sold for S$1.71 million in October 2026, setting a record resale price for this flat type in the estate.
A similar unit located between 31 and 33 floors was sold for S$1.6 million in September 2026, according to the Housing and Development Board (HDB) website for checking resale flat prices.
The 1,292 sq ft unit at Block 273A Bishan Street 24 is at Natura Loft.
The flat is located between the 37th and 39th floors.
The unit's resale price translates to a S$1,324 psf price.
Previously, the record for the estate was a similar-sized unit at Block 275A between the 34th and 36th floors that transacted for S$1.63 million (S$1,263 psf) when it was sold in November 2025, according to Stacked Homes.
Natura Loft, which has blocks that reach 40 storeys, is the only DBSS project in Bishan, it was also reported.
Block 273A has 160 flats, comprising four- and five-room flats.
It has more than 83 years left on its lease.
Its price could be due to the limited number of four-room and five-room flats in Bishan entering the market, the price analysis on Stacked Homes suggested.
Singapore's most expensive resale flat on record is a five-room unit in Bukit Merah that sold for S$1.728 million in April 2026.
In an April 2026 parliamentary reply, the Ministry of National Development (MND) said about 6 per cent of resale flats transacted above S$1 million in 2025.
Based on the flash estimate for the first quarter of 2026, resale prices declined slightly by 0.1 per cent.
MND added that the resale market continues to provide a wide range of flats at different price points, catering to different budgets and needs.
In 2025, there were four-room resale flats with leases of 70 years or longer in Tampines and Punggol going for around S$650,000 to S$700,000.
In Sembawang and Yishun, such flats were available below S$600,000, MND added, while in Jurong West and Woodlands, there were options below S$550,000.
Eligible first-time resale buyers can get housing grants of up to S$230,000, further reducing the amounts they need to pay, MND said.
Previously, at a media briefing on Aug. 20, 2024, then-National Development Minister Desmond Lee shared that HDB flats with very high resale prices make up "a very small proportion of all transactions", even though record HDB resale prices have frequently made headlines.
Lee added at the time that such transactions made up only 0.5 per cent of all four-room or smaller flats transacted in the last two years, are very central, and are well served by transport connectivity and comprehensive amenities.
Lee noted that more than half of them are also located on very high floors, above 30 storeys, and have good views.
"Flat sellers who are reading such news raise their expectations about how much the flat could bring, while flat buyers become anxious to secure flats before prices get higher.
If we are not careful, such market dynamics can cause the resale market to run out of line with economic fundamentals and cause a bubble."
Lee also noted then that flats that cross the million-dollar mark made up about 2 per cent of all resale transactions over the last 1.5 years at the time.
