Kallang/Whampoa has entered the million-dollar HDB club. The highest recorded resale price is S$1,568,000, 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 Kallang/Whampoa's HDB market. For 4-room flats, the data shows a clear staircase pattern: units on floors 31 TO 33 sell for a median of S$1,024,500, while ground-floor units (01 TO 03) sell for S$568,000. That is a 80% premium for higher floors, or roughly S$457K 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$457K while keeping the same address.

Remaining lease is arguably the most important factor for long-term value. In Kallang/Whampoa, 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$9,794/sqm, while pre-1990 flats trade at S$5,451/sqm. That is a 80% premium for newer stock on a per-square-metre basis.

However, older flats in Kallang/Whampoa are not always the worse deal. Pre-1990 flats tend to be significantly larger (averaging 81 sqm versus 86 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.

Kallang/Whampoa has 12 distinct flat models in its resale stock. The most common is the Improved (2,191 transactions, average S$465K).

DBSS flats were developed by private developers with higher-spec finishes, which explains the premium even years after completion.

Maisonettes, the two-storey HDB units that are no longer built, trade at an average of S$838K in Kallang/Whampoa. With 67 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.
