Older Jurong East Flats Are Holding Their Value Surprisingly Well — Even After Lease Decay Kicks In

March 5, 2026 by Joey Peh

Jurong East’s HDB resale market shows an unusual lease decay pattern. Data comparing 2014 to 2019 and 2020 to 2025 transactions reveals that older 4-room and 5-room flats have become more resilient to ageing, with price gaps after the lease decay inflection point narrowing significantly. This analysis explores how limited supply of newer flats, stronger family demand, and Jurong East’s transformation into a major commercial hub may be moderating the typical effects of lease decay.

Halsdon House, the 17th century Grade II listed country home of Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts, is on the market for £2.75 million (about S$4.7 million). Set on 55 acres in rural Devon above the River Torridge valley, the 8,593 sq ft estate includes nine bedrooms, multiple reception rooms, a library, and equestrian facilities. Positioned as more of a legacy asset than a typical investment purchase, the property reflects both historic value and countryside seclusion.
