Record HDB Million-Dollar Sales and En-Bloc Threshold Reform Headline September
Published 7 September 2026 · Covers news from 6 Sept to 7 Sept
August saw a record 201 million-dollar HDB flat transactions following the removal of the 15-month wait-out period, while proposed changes to en-bloc consent rules could lower thresholds for older developments — though analysts caution that easier consent does not guarantee successful sales.
- Stacked Homes reports that August recorded a historic 201 million-dollar HDB flat transactions, a new monthly record, with the article linking the surge to the removal of the 15-month wait-out period for private-property downgraders entering the resale HDB market. [4]
- On August 4, the government proposed amendments to the Land Titles (Strata) Act that would introduce a 70% consent threshold for en-bloc sales of developments aged 40–59 years, down from the current 80% required for younger buildings, according to Stacked Homes. [1]
- Despite the lower consent threshold, Stacked Homes cautions that easier en-bloc approval does not necessarily translate into more completed collective sales, citing broader market and viability factors that still govern whether developers will bid. [1]
