    SOME Housing and Development Board (HDB) flats are pricey, fetching well over S$1 million in the resale market.

    Around 128 flats changed hands in the third quarter for over S$1 million each, marking a record high for a quarter. The number of million-dollar HDB flat transactions in 2023 looks set to reach a new high.

    The lofty prices paid for highly sought-after resale flats comes on the back of a run-up in HDB resale prices post-pandemic.
