You might have heard that around 1 in 3 buyers of an HDB paid a cash over valuation (COV) in 2021 so far, an increase from 1 in 5 last year.
And although the median COV paid by buyers is still at $0, this does show the increase in demand for resale HDB’s in Singapore. In some cases, sellers even demand a specific amount of COV!
Here’s the thing, a rising COV means that it will push resale prices up as the next valuation will be based on transacted prices. As a result, sellers will naturally ask for higher COV based on the demand, and buyers will have to accept paying more COV if they want to secure a home.
But because COV data isn’t published, it may be difficult for buyers to get an accurate read of the situation on the ground.
So we’ve prepared a list of HDB COV amounts and their respective transactions – contributed by buyers like you! We hope this goes some way to help, if you have suggestions on how to improve this, please reach out at hello@stackedhomes.com

Where is the cov database link?
Hi stackedhomes, i tried searching the location for the cov database above but there doesnt seem to have much info?
hi stackedhomes team, can i check if there’s an error with the COV database above? seems like only limited number of data are available.
Looks like the database is not loading, I think embed permissions need to be added
Hi There, the data in the table is not fully visible as some of the columns are “cut off”. Would it be possible to make the widths modifiable?
