Floor level is one of the most significant price factors in Bishan's HDB market. For 4-room flats, the data shows a clear staircase pattern: units on floors 37 TO 39 sell for a median of S$1,075,000, while ground-floor units (01 TO 03) sell for S$555,000. That is a 94% premium for higher floors, or roughly S$520K more in absolute terms.

This premium reflects several factors: better ventilation and natural light, reduced noise from ground-level activity, improved views (especially for blocks near parks or open areas), and a perception of privacy.
