Analysis
What's Moving the District 21 Market
Landed supply and plot demand
Landed stock in District 21 remains limited, with new plot supply constrained by planning guidelines. Good Class Bungalow proximity and low-rise estate character continue to draw buyer interest, while any en-bloc or redevelopment activity is closely watched for its impact on replacement supply.
- Limited new landed supply in established estates
- Good Class Bungalow adjacency supports premium positioning
- En-bloc and redevelopment activity subject to URA approval
Condo pipeline and leasehold vs freehold dynamics
The District 21 condo market is shaped by upcoming completions and new-launch spillover. Buyers often weigh leasehold entry prices against freehold scarcity, holding period and maintenance considerations before deciding which segment fits their goals.
- New completions can affect resale rental and pricing sentiment
- Leasehold stock typically trades at a discount to comparable freehold
- Buyer comparisons should factor in tenure, age and maintenance
Policy, financing and duty considerations
Property decisions here are also shaped by ABSD, SSD, TDSR and MSR limits, plus stamp duty on purchase and mortgage servicing rules. Rates and thresholds change from time to time, so buyers should verify the latest figures with IRAS and MAS before committing.
- ABSD and SSD schedules affect holding-period planning
- TDSR / MSR frames maximum loan servicing capacity
- Stamp duty calculators are available on IRAS
Performance
Performance by Property Type
Landed
District 21 landed homes range from terrace and semi-detached houses to detached bungalows and Good Class Bungalow precincts.

- Terrace and semi-detached activity tends to track HDB upgrader demand

Condominium

A formal Comparable Market Analysis is required for a reliable estimate.
What property types does District 21 include?
District 21 covers Upper Bukit Timah, Bukit Timah and Clementi planning areas. It includes landed homes such as terraces, semi-detached houses, detached bungalows and Good Class Bungalow precincts, plus condominiums and HDB flats in adjacent towns.

You can request a free, no-obligation property valuation through the form on this page or by messaging Jesslyn on WhatsApp. The valuation will use recent comparable transactions from URA REALIS and HDB records, adjusted for your unit's condition and market position.
How does ABSD / TDSR affect buyers in this area?
Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty (ABSD) and the Total Debt Servicing Ratio (TDSR) are set by IRAS and MAS respectively.

Both can materially affect budget and holding-period planning, so buyers should verify the latest rates on the IRAS and MAS websites before committing.
