Private rents and HDB rents are two registers and are never combined; the only figure that spans them is the gross yield, which is a ratio, and even there the assets differ: every HDB flat is a 99-year lease that cannot be let at all during its first five years, while a private unit may be freehold.

Private property prices per square foot in Hougang East

Median price per ft²The middle resale price per square foot of 175 transactions in the last 12 months. Each transaction's own price is divided by its own floor area first, then the median is taken over those.

Median resale priceThe middle price paid, before dividing by floor area. It moves with the mix of flat types resold as well as with the market.

Median lease remainingYears left on the 99-year lease at the point of resale. Below roughly 60 years, CPF usage and bank financing both tighten, and the resale market prices that in.

How prices are spread in Hougang EastEvery resale in Hougang East over the last 12 months, on a S$/ft² scale: a taller bar means more at that rate. Sample: 175 resales. The markers are the published statistics over the same window; the counts can differ by a handful at the window edge.

By flat typeHDB’s own flat types, each at its own median rate. A smaller flat usually costs more per square foot and less in total, so the rate and the price move in opposite directions: the rate is the ranked column and the price is a caption beside its type.

Price by remaining lease, 4-roomCPF usage and bank loan-to-value both tighten as the tail shortens, which is why the rate bends decades before the lease ends. Flat type is held fixed: pooled, this would compare short-lease 3-rooms with long-lease 5-rooms and call the mix lease decay.

Price by floor, 4-roomHDB publishes a storey range rather than an exact floor, so these are its own bands. Flat type is held fixed, which makes this a statement about height rather than about what sits on each floor.

Buyers: Where does a price sit?Your price divided by your floor area, ranked against every resale in the window here. It is the same population the spread above is drawn from, so the two can never disagree.

Sellers: How much is my flat worth? Floor area × the median price per square foot in Hougang East, over the last 12 months. The band is the same sum at the middle 60%. It knows the area and the size, nothing else: storey, lease and condition are what a valuation is for.

How private prices are spread in Hougang EastEvery private resale caveat in Hougang East over the last 12 months, counted into 56 bands: a taller bar means more caveats at that rate. Published as counts rather than as a list of sales, because URA permits statistics and not the caveats.

By property typeURA’s own property types, each at its own median rate, so a condominium and an apartment are never averaged into one figure. Landed is priced on land area rather than floor area, so it carries no rate and the row says so.

Sellers: How much is my home worth? Floor area × the median price per square foot in Hougang East, over the last 12 months. The band is the same sum at the middle 60%. It knows the area and the size, nothing else: floor, facing, tenure and condition are what a valuation is for.

Private sales by project in Hougang East

Public (HDB) rents in Hougang EastHDB approves each subletting of a whole flat and records the rent declared on the application, so these are declared rents rather than registry-verified prices. A rented room is not in this register. A separate register from URA’s, never averaged with it.

Private rents in Hougang EastURA records every private lease contract lodged with it, so these are contract rents rather than asking prices. Lodging is not compulsory, so the most recent quarter is still filling in. A separate register from HDB’s, never averaged with it.

Rent by unit sizeFloor area is the one key both private registers record, so it is what the yield is matched on, because bedrooms exist on a lease contract and not on a sale caveat. Only exact 10 m² bands are joined; a wider band is left out rather than folded into a narrower one.

Rent by bedroomsURA records a bedroom count on a rental contract but not on a sale caveat, so bedrooms describe renting only and can never be matched to a price. The size table above is the one that carries a yield.

Nearby areas Each trend line is that area’s own quarterly median price per square foot, scaled to its own range: compare directions, not heights. Gaps are quarters with too few resales to publish a median.
