Why the cheap end of that list is cheap
Before reading the ranking as a map of which blocks are better value, note what else differs along it. The five cheapest blocks for a 5-room here have a median of 61 years of lease left; the five dearest have 62 years. The two ends are close enough on lease that something else is doing the work here, most likely the floor and the exact location.
5-room flats across Singapore, by town
The same flat type in every town that cleared 20 sales, dearest per square foot first. This is the comparison that holds: a town-against-town ranking of all sales pooled would partly be ranking each town’s flat-type mix, since 5-room flats were 39 per cent of what sold in Bukit Timah.

Questions
- How much does a 5-room resale flat in Bukit Timah cost?
- The median was $1,107,500 over the 12 months to Oct 2026, across 24 sales in 11 blocks. Half of those sales fell between $1,020,000 and $1,225,000, and the full range ran from $925,000 to $1,300,000.
- What is the price per square foot of a 5-room flat in Bukit Timah?
- $843 psf, on a median floor area of 1,313 sq ft. Per square foot is the measure that compares across flat types, and the headline price is not: a larger flat costs more in total and less per square foot at the same time.
- How many 5-room flats sold in Bukit Timah in the past year?
- 24 sales in the 12 months to Oct 2026, across 11 blocks, and 150 since 2017. 5-room flats were 39 per cent of everything that resold in Bukit Timah over those 12 months.
- Which block in Bukit Timah has the cheapest 5-room flats?
- On a per-square-foot median, Blk 14 Toh Yi Drive at $746 psf from one sale, against $936 psf at Blk 9 Toh Yi Drive. Lease is not what separates them here — the five cheapest blocks have a median of 61 years left and the five dearest 62 years — so the floor and the exact location are doing the work. That cheapest figure rests on a single sale, which is an anecdote rather than a rate.
- Is Bukit Timah expensive for a 5-room flat?
- Bukit Timah is the fifth dearest of 26 towns for a 5-room flat, per square foot. The dearest is Central Area at $1,288 psf and the cheapest Woodlands at $506 psf. The comparison holds the flat type still, because a ranking of towns on all sales pooled would partly be ranking their flat-type mix.
- How much lease is left on 5-room flats in Bukit Timah?
- Between 47 years and 62 years on the flats that sold, with a median of 61 years. An HDB flat is a 99-year lease, so the remaining lease is most of what separates a cheap block here from a dear one.
How this was worked out
Every figure on this page comes from the Housing Board’s resale transaction register on data.gov.sg, retrieved Oct 2026 — 150 sales of 5-room flats in Bukit Timah since 2017, of which 24 sales fell in the 12 months to Oct 2026. These are completed transactions, not listings or asking prices. Medians are medians and never means, a flat type is published for a town only once it clears 20 sales in the year, and no price here is adjusted for inflation.
