This 4-Room HDB Just Crossed $1.3M — Outside the Usual Prime Hotspots

A four-room flat in Clementi Crest has set a new record price for a four-room HBD in Clementi. According to transaction data, the 1,001 sq ft unit, which is on the 40th to 42nd floors, in block 445A Clementi Avenue 3 was sold for $1.35 million ($1,349 psf) earlier this week.

This transaction trumps the previous record price high for a resale four-room flat in Clementi. Incidentally, that sale also involved a four-room flat in Clementi Crest in the same block. The 1,001 sq ft unit, on the 31st to 33rd floors, transacted for $1.328 million ($1,327 psf) last December.

Clementi Crest is a 385-unit Build-To-Order (BTO) development along Clementi Avenue 3. The project was launched during the May 2015 BTO sales exercise and attained its temporary occupation permit (TOP) in June 2020.

Significantly, the development achieved its minimum occupation period (MOP) last year.

This is why we have seen resale volumes surge at Clementi Crest, along with an increase in the average resale price across all unit types, which comprises a mix of four- and five-room units of 1,001 to 1,216 sq ft.

The transaction volume suggests that several owners were eager to capitalise on the value of their property once their flat became eligible for sale on the secondary market. Clementi Avenue 3 also benefits from its proximity to Clementi MRT station on the East-West Line, along with all of the commercial and public amenities in the vicinity.

This is not the first time resale units at Clementi Crest have broken price records. Last year, Stacked reported on the sale of a five-room flat at block 445B in Clementi Crest that changed hands for $1.458 million ($1,199 psf) last August. That unit was on the 25th to 27th floor.

It took less than four months for that high price to get surpassed when another five-room flat, this time on the 34th to 36th floors, was sold for $1.5 million ($1,234 psf) in December 2025. This remains the most expensive resale flat sold at Clementi Crest to date.

Top 10 locations by number of million-dollar HDB resale deals in 2025

Clementi Avenue 3 was among the top 10 locations in Singapore which saw a heady number of million dollar HDB resales in 2025, according to transaction data compiled by PropNex Realty. According to OneMap, block 445A Clementi Ave 3 is within 1km of four primary schools, namely, Clementi Primary School, Nan Hua Primary School, Pei Tong Primary School, and Qifa Primary School.

The neighbourhood is also close to Singapore Polytechnic and the Kent Ridge campus of the National University of Singapore.

Clementi is also a rather well established town with several community facilities, most are close to Clementi Crest. These public amenities include Clementi Polyclinic, Clementi Sports Hall and Swimming Centre, and Clementi Stadium.

All of these factors certainly contribute to the overall demand we see for flats located in Clementi, coupled with the scarcity of new flats like Clementi Crest.

The latest BTO project in Clementi is Clementi Emerald, a 753-unit development on Clementi Close, and next to Clementi Primary School. The project is a Prime development that launched as part of the July 2025 BTO sales exercise, it features a mix of two-room flexi to four-room flats.

Looking ahead, I think it’s safe to assume that the high prices of some resale flats at Clementi Crest will encourage more owners to consider putting their units up for sale. They will also be mindful that no more new BTO projects in Clementi are slated in upcoming BTO launches for now.

The combination of attractive locational attributes and scarcity of new HDB flats in the vicinity look set to support price growth of new flats in this neighbourhood. But some degree of price resistance may start to set in soon, given how quickly prices have climbed and how high the benchmark prices have been set.

Even if resale prices catch the eye of some owners, a good number will likely hold on to their flats. Where else in Clementi would they find housing that meets all they benefits they get to enjoy today?
