A new all-time high (ATH) was reached with 169 million-dollar HDB resale flats sold in July 2025 – more than any single month ever recorded.
This record-breaking figure adds to a strong year overall. Year-to-date, there have already been 488 million-dollar flat transactions. That’s more than the 470 transactions seen across all of 2023, and we’re only in August. At this pace, 2025 is on track to meet or even surpass 2024’s total.

A quick summary of July’s resale market
Here’s what happened in July 2025, at a glance:
- 2,580 HDB resale flats were sold, a 13.4% jump from June.
- Million-dollar flats made up 6.6% of the total monthly resale volume.
- Prices remained stable, though some room types saw slight dips.
- The highest transacted flat for the month went for S$1.588 million.
What’s driving these numbers?
The increase in July resale volume likely reflects a rebound from June. School holidays may have caused some buyers to pause earlier in the year. But by July, many returned to the market. Even with this rebound, resale volumes were still 15.4% lower than the same period last year. That could be due to growing concerns about affordability.
Also, the July BTO launch and Sale of Balance Flats exercises may have drawn some younger buyers away from the resale market.
Even so, demand for larger units in city-fringe locations stayed strong. Many of you are still on the hunt for spacious homes – especially if you’re upgrading from a smaller flat or right-sizing from a private property. This demand has helped push million-dollar sales to a new peak in July.
