Executive HDB Flats In Q2 2026: Hougang Leads The Towns At S$985,500

Executive flats are among the largest HDB homes around, and because far fewer of them trade each quarter than four-room or five-room flats, it can be hard to tell what one is worth in your own town. A single sale does not settle the question, but a quarter's worth of recorded transactions in one town starts to.

In this article, we look at every HDB town with at least 15 executive resale transactions in Q2 2026, ranked by median price, and compared with the same quarter a year earlier. The median is the middle price of all recorded sales, so half sold above it and half below, which keeps one unusually high or low deal from skewing the picture.

Island-wide, 361 executive flats resold in Q2 2026 at a median price of S$920,000, or S$6,327 psm (per square metre, the standard area measure for HDB flats). That is 1.6% higher than Q2 2025, when 398 executive flats sold at a median of S$905,444, based on HDB resale data from data.gov.sg.

Which Towns Had The Highest Median Prices?

Eight towns recorded at least 15 executive resales in Q2 2026, which is the cut-off we use so that each median rests on a reasonable number of transactions. The table below ranks them by median price, and also shows the median psm, the number of sales, and the median in the same quarter a year earlier.

The table shows Hougang at the top with a median of S$985,500 across 30 sales, followed by Tampines at S$966,500 from 48 sales. At the other end, Jurong West recorded a median of S$795,000 from 22 sales, with Choa Chu Kang just above it at S$830,000. The gap between the highest and lowest town medians works out to a ratio of 1.24.

Note that sales counts vary widely across the list. Woodlands had the most executive resales of any town at 53, while Choa Chu Kang had 15, the smallest count that still qualifies. A median drawn from 15 transactions moves more easily than one drawn from 53, so the smaller towns on the list carry more uncertainty.

How Have Prices Changed Since Last Year?

Comparing each town against Q2 2025 gives a sense of direction rather than level. All eight ranked towns had at least 15 executive sales in both quarters, so each has a year-on-year change in the table above.

Six of the eight towns posted a higher median price than a year earlier and two posted a lower one. The largest rise was Woodlands at 3.1%, on 53 sales, followed by Sengkang at 2.3% from 29 sales and Jurong West at 1.3% from 22 sales. Tampines and Choa Chu Kang were both 0.7% higher, and Pasir Ris 0.3% higher.

The two declines were small. Bukit Panjang was the largest faller at 0.6% lower, from 18 sales, and Hougang was 0.3% lower even while holding the highest median of any town. Changes of this size sit close to the noise you would expect when a town records fewer than 30 sales in a quarter, and the mix of flats sold, in terms of floor area, storey and remaining lease, that is the number of years left on the 99-year lease, can differ from one quarter to the next.

What Do The Per-Square-Metre Figures Show?

Median price depends partly on how big the flats sold happened to be, so median psm is a useful second view. It divides recorded prices by floor area, which lets you compare towns on a per-space basis. The chart below shows median psm for executive flats by town in Q2 2026.

The ranking shifts a little. Tampines leads on psm at S$6,667, just ahead of Hougang at S$6,649, even though Hougang held the higher median price. Sengkang comes third at S$6,324 psm despite a median price of S$858,000, while Woodlands sits at S$6,071 psm. Choa Chu Kang is lowest at S$5,685 psm, with Jurong West at S$5,786 psm.

For reference, the island-wide executive median of S$6,327 psm sits between Sengkang and Bukit Panjang on this chart. All figures here come from recorded resale transactions lodged with HDB and published on data.gov.sg, and are indicative of what changed hands in the quarter rather than a valuation of any particular flat.

Executive flats recorded 361 resales island-wide in Q2 2026 at a median of S$920,000, up 1.6% from the 398 sales and S$905,444 median of Q2 2025. Across the eight towns with at least 15 sales, Hougang led on median price at S$985,500 and Jurong West was lowest at S$795,000, a ratio of 1.24 between the two. Six towns were higher year on year and two lower, with Woodlands rising the most at 3.1% and Bukit Panjang easing 0.6%.

These figures describe completed transactions in a single quarter, town by town. They do not capture the attributes that move any individual sale, such as floor area, storey, block age or remaining lease, and towns with counts in the teens can shift noticeably from quarter to quarter on mix alone. Towns with fewer than 15 executive resales in the quarter are not shown here at all, so the list covers where executive flats traded in volume, not every town where one changed hands.

Method: HDB resale records for executive flats, grouped by town and the quarter of the sale month; towns with fewer than 15 sales in the quarter are omitted, and the change is shown only where both quarters clear that count. Private figures are from URA Data Service caveats, HDB figures from data.gov.sg resale records, both loaded weekly by this site's ingest. Medians are of the non-excluded transactions in the period named; sales flagged by the hygiene rules (related-party transfers, bulk deals, outliers) are left out. Every figure is indicative and drawn from recorded transactions, not a formal valuation.
