Woodlands HDB Resale Market: Prices, supply, connectivity and what buyers and sellers should know

The flats in the town

HDB's Key Statistics count 69,090 sold flats in Woodlands as at 31 March 2025. 30,744 are 4-room and 21,260 are 5-room, which together is 75% of the sold flats. There are 7,382 three-room flats and 6,191 executive flats.

Resales follow the same mix. Of the 1,762 flats resold from July 2025 to June 2026, 848 were 4-room, 521 were 5-room, 190 were 3-room, 167 were executive and 36 were 2-room.

Age of the flats that were sold

892 of the 1,762 flats resold, 51%, had leases that began between 1996 and 2000. That includes 480 of the 848 four-room flats and 326 of the 521 five-room flats. A further 351 had leases that began between 2013 and 2019. No flat with a lease from 2005 to 2012 was sold.

Latest quarter

From April to June 2026, 474 resale flats changed hands: 51 three-room, 216 four-room, 147 five-room, 54 executive and 6 two-room. HDB's published medians for the quarter were $428,900 for 3-room flats, $550,000 for 4-room, $655,000 for 5-room and $916,500 for executive flats.

The 3-room, 4-room and 5-room medians were 1.8% to 2.7% lower than a year earlier and the executive median was 3.0% higher. The 3-room, 4-room and 5-room medians were at their highest in the third quarter of 2025, and the executive median in the first quarter of 2026.

In that quarter, 135 of the 216 four-room flats and 110 of the 147 five-room flats sold within 10% of HDB's published median. For 3-room flats it was 14 of 51.

Prices by flat type and lease period

Over the 12 months, 3-room and 4-room prices step up with newer leases, with one exception, and the bands overlap. 5-room prices do not follow the age of the flat as neatly.

4-room flats with leases from 1996 to 2000, the largest group with 480 sales, sold at a median of $555,000. Those with leases from 2001 to 2004 are smaller, at a median of 90 square metres against 101, and sold for less, at $545,000. Those with leases from 2013 onwards sold at $640,000, which is $85,000 more than the 1996 to 2000 flats, for a median of 93 square metres.

5-room flats with leases from 1996 to 2000 sold at a median of $667,500. The 20 with leases from 1990 to 1995 sold at about $696,900 and the 65 from 2001 to 2004 at $616,000; the 2001 to 2004 flats are smaller, at a median of 111 square metres against 121. The 70 five-room flats with leases from 2013 onwards sold at a median of about $761,400. The highest 5-room price was $848,000 and the highest 4-room price was $750,000.

The 1996 to 2000 flats sold close to HDB's published town medians. Over the 12 months, 415 of the 480 four-room flats of that age sold within 10% of $550,000, and 281 of the 326 five-room flats within 10% of $655,000.

3-room flats sold at medians of $348,000 for leases from 1974 to 1977, $385,000 for the 1980s, $448,000 for 1990 to 1995 and $510,000 for leases from 2013 onwards. The 36 two-room flats sold for $300,000 to $423,000.

Executive flats and $1 million sales

167 executive flats were resold in the 12 months: 129 apartments, including 12 premium apartments, and 38 maisonettes. The apartments range from 130 to 192 square metres. The 64 that are 160 square metres or larger, all with leases from 1993 to 1995, sold at a median of $1,000,000. The 65 smaller ones sold at a median of $860,000, and the maisonettes at $896,500.

36 flats sold for $1 million or more, 2% of all resales. All 36 were executive apartments with leases from 1993 to 1995, and 35 of them were 160 square metres or larger. The highest price was $1,270,000. No 4-room flat, 5-room flat or maisonette reached $1 million.

Between $600,000 and $700,000, both newer 4-room flats and older, larger 5-room flats were sold. See what $600,000 to $700,000 buys in Woodlands.

HDB's Key Statistics show 8,518 flats under construction in Woodlands as at 31 March 2025. Build-To-Order projects launched here since December 2023 are Woodlands Beacon (399 flats) and Urban Rise @ Woodlands (848) in December 2023, Woodgrove Edge (1,127) in February 2024, Marsiling Peak I & II (1,609) in June 2024, Marsiling Ridge (292) in October 2024, Woodlands North Verge (1,563) in February 2025, Woodlands North Grove (1,148) in July 2025 and Woodgrove Acres (656) in June 2026. That is 7,642 flats in eight projects.

The four projects launched from October 2024 are classified as Standard flats, which carry a 5-year minimum occupation period, and the earlier four were not sold under the Prime Location Public Housing model. Owners must complete the occupation period after collecting their keys before they can sell, so none of these flats will reach the resale market for some years.

Woodlands North Coast is a 21-hectare area that HDB says will yield about 4,000 new homes when fully developed. HDB said the first project there would be launched in February 2025, the exercise in which Woodlands North Verge was offered.

HDB's list of sites under the Selective En bloc Redevelopment Scheme has none in Woodlands. In May 2022 the Government gazetted the acquisition of nine blocks, Blocks 210 to 218 Marsiling Crescent and Marsiling Lane, with 732 sold flats and 53 rental flats, for the redevelopment and extension of Woodlands Checkpoint. HDB is building about 1,100 replacement flats at Woodlands Street 13, which it estimated would be completed by the fourth quarter of 2027.

URA plans Woodlands Regional Centre as the economic hub of Singapore's northern gateway, in four precincts: Woodlands Central, Woodlands Gateway, Housing by the Woods and Woodlands Waterfront.

Five MRT stations on two lines serve the town. Marsiling, Woodlands and Admiralty are on the North-South Line. Woodlands North, Woodlands and Woodlands South are on the Thomson-East Coast Line, which opened here on 31 January 2020. Woodlands station is the interchange between the two lines.

The Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link will run between Woodlands North station and Bukit Chagar station in Johor Bahru. On 2 October 2026, LTA and Malaysia's Ministry of Transport said passenger service is now expected to start in February 2027, subject to independent safety certification and final regulatory approvals. The earlier target was the end of 2026.

MOE lists twelve primary schools in the Woodlands planning area: Admiralty, Evergreen, Fuchun, Greenwood, Innova, Marsiling, Qihua, Riverside, Si Ling, Woodgrove, Woodlands and Woodlands Ring. Priority for Primary 1 places depends on the distance from home to school, so check the distance for the exact block on MOE's SchoolFinder before relying on it.

For a 4-room or 5-room flat with a lease from 1996 to 2000, HDB's town median was close to what buyers paid: 86% of those flats sold within 10% of it. A flat with a lease from 2013 onwards sold for about $85,000 to $95,000 more than a 1996 to 2000 flat of the same type, for a smaller floor area and about 20 more years on the lease.

Compare across flat types before you decide. Between $600,000 and $700,000, both newer 4-room flats and 5-room flats from 1996 to 2000 were sold, so the choice at that budget is between floor area and remaining lease.

If you are buying a flat with a lease from the 1970s or 1980s, check the remaining lease against your age, your CPF usage and the loan tenure before you commit.

If the RTS Link matters to your decision, note that its opening date has already moved once and still depends on safety certification.

Price against recent sales of the same flat type and lease period, on your own street where there are enough of them. For a 4-room or 5-room flat from 1996 to 2000, the published town median is a reasonable cross-check. For a flat with a lease from 2013 onwards, or from before 1990, it is not: those groups sold well above and below it.

If you own a 5-room flat from 1996 to 2000, your buyer may also be looking at newer 4-room flats at the same price. The floor area is your flat's advantage in that comparison, so state it plainly.

If you own an executive apartment, size separates the prices. Those of 160 square metres or larger sold at a median of $1,000,000, and the smaller ones at $860,000. Compare with apartments of similar size, not with the executive median for the town.
