When you decide to sell your HDB resale flat, one of the first things you’ll want to know is whether you can make a profit — and how much. The fastest way to gauge this is by checking the last transacted price in your block and surrounding area.
As we wrote in this article, past transaction prices often set the benchmark for current and future home valuations within a particular block or area. These prices become part of the historical data that potential buyers, sellers, and valuers use to assess the market value of similar properties, which ultimately influences a property’s selling price.
Where can you find the last transacted price in your block?
We’ve developed HomerAI, which provides all the information you need to know about your property — from your home valuation to the latest property transaction within your block, cluster, and 1km of your home. You can also zoom into the lowest and highest transacted prices, with details such as the transaction date and unit size.
Case study: Last transacted price in your block
The last transacted price in Block 79E, Toa Payoh Central, was $990,000 for a 969 sq ft (4-room) flat. Over the past six months, homes in this block have sold for an average price of $850,500 ($980 psf), with six transactions recorded.
The most recent sale in February 2025 saw a unit fetch $990,000 — matching the highest price recorded during this period. On the other end, the lowest transaction was in September 2024 at $790,000.
Case study: Last transacted price in your cluster
Beyond your block, notable transactions within this cluster of Toa Payoh Central reflect price variations across different floors and blocks:
- Block 79A (Levels 31–33, 979 sq ft): Sold for $1,033,133 in February 2025
- Block 79D (Levels 07–09, 979 sq ft): Sold for $942,888 in February 2025
Key Takeaway: Higher-floor units often command a premium, with the Block 79A unit selling for nearly $90,000 more than its lower-floor counterpart in a different block. While views, ventilation, and natural light contribute to this trend, other factors like recent renovations, unit layout, or proximity to amenities (e.g., Toa Payoh MRT or shopping malls) may also influence pricing. For example, the Block 79A unit could have been extensively renovated or located closer to key facilities, hence the higher price.
Case study: Last transacted price of properties within 1km of your home
The most recent transactions within 1km of Block 79E, Toa Payoh Central, reveal how floor level, lease tenure, and location impact resale prices. A 1,130 sq ft unit at 84 Lorong 2 Toa Payoh sold for $905,000, while a similar-sized unit at 81A Lorong 4 Toa Payoh transacted at $875,888. Both units have 71 years remaining on their leases and are located on lower floors, which may explain the slightly lower prices compared to newer blocks in Toa Payoh Central.
In contrast, smaller but newer units in Toa Payoh Central (83 years lease remaining) fetched notably higher prices. A 969 sq ft unit at 79E Toa Payoh Central (Levels 37–39) sold for $990,000, reflecting a premium for high-floor units. Similarly, a 980 sq ft unit at 79D Toa Payoh Central (Levels 07–09) transacted at $942,888, while a similar-sized unit at 79A Toa Payoh Central (Levels 31–33) commanded the highest price of over $1 million.
These figures highlight a consistent price advantage for higher-floor units. The Block 79A unit on Levels 31–33 sold for nearly $90,000 more than a similar-sized unit at Block 79D on Levels 07–09. This suggests that buyers continue to pay a premium for better views, more natural light, and improved ventilation, which are common benefits of high-floor homes.
Additionally, lease tenure plays a significant role in resale pricing. While the Lorong 2 and Lorong 4 units are larger (1,130 sq ft), their shorter leases (71 years) likely played a role in their lower transaction values. However, buyer preferences can vary: some may prioritise newer leases for long-term investment, while others might favour larger spaces for family needs, even with shorter leases. The lower prices here could also reflect differences in unit condition, accessibility (e.g., distance from MRT), or specific buyer demand in Lorong 2 or 4 compared to the newer blocks in Toa Payoh Central.
For homeowners considering selling, this data presents a strong case for high-floor units to command premium prices, particularly in mature estates like Toa Payoh. On the buyer’s side, mid-floor and lower-floor units may offer better value while still benefiting from the area’s prime location and amenities.
