Floor level is one of the most significant price factors in Sembawang's HDB market.

That is a 25% premium for higher floors, or roughly S$106K 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$106K while keeping the same address.
