Geylang has entered the million-dollar HDB club. The highest recorded resale price is S$1,375,000, placing it among the growing number of towns where HDB flats have breached the seven-figure mark. These transactions typically involve large executive or maisonette units with 80+ years of remaining lease, located in mature blocks with unobstructed views.

Floor level is one of the most significant price factors in Geylang's HDB market. For 4-room flats, the data shows a clear staircase pattern: units on floors 19 TO 21 sell for a median of S$790,000, while ground-floor units (01 TO 03) sell for S$520,000. That is a 52% premium for higher floors, or roughly S$270K 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. For buyers on a budget, choosing a lower floor in a preferred block can save S$270K while keeping the same address.

Remaining lease is arguably the most important factor for long-term value. In Geylang, the price per square metre tells a clear story about how the market values newer versus older flats. Newer flats (built 2015 onwards) trade at S$9,601/sqm, while pre-1990 flats trade at S$5,294/sqm. That is a 81% premium for newer stock on a per-square-metre basis.

However, older flats in Geylang are not always the worse deal. Pre-1990 flats tend to be significantly larger (averaging 80 sqm versus 83 sqm for new builds). Buyers who prioritise space over remaining lease may find better value in mature blocks, especially if they plan to live in the flat rather than sell it within a decade.

Geylang has 10 distinct flat models in its resale stock. The most common is the Model A (1,651 transactions, average S$702K).

Maisonettes, the two-storey HDB units that are no longer built, trade at an average of S$829K in Geylang. With 172 transactions in the data set, they represent a niche but sought-after segment. Their scarcity (HDB stopped building maisonettes in 1995) and generous floor area make them popular with families who want landed-style living at HDB prices.

The most actively traded address in Geylang is CIRCUIT RD, with 1444 recorded transactions at a median of S$315,000. Interestingly, UBI AVE 1 commands a higher median of S$453,000 despite fewer transactions, suggesting it is a more sought-after address within Geylang. The price spread across the top streets ranges from S$290K to S$465K, reflecting differences in block age, proximity to MRT stations, and proximity to amenities.

In terms of pricing, Geylang sits closest to Marine Parade (S$490K), Bukit Panjang (S$485K), Bukit Batok (S$485K). Those willing to pay more for centrality or prestige could look at Bukit Timah at S$784K.
