Sengkang this week: fewer deals than July. Median did not move.
What this is: A one-pager an estate agent (or insurance adviser) can WhatsApp to their Sengkang database. Swap the name in the sign-off. Do not present it as a valuation.
Period: HDB resale registrations in Sengkang, August 2026. Pulled from HDB’s data.gov.sg file on 1 Sep 2026. August can still pick up late registrations.

4-room is the liquid stock: 83 of 174 deals, median $649 psf (sqm × 10.7639). Busiest streets: Rivervale Dr (16), Fernvale Link (15), Fernvale Rd (13), Rivervale Cres (13), Anchorvale Link (11).
The 5-room ceiling is Compassvale Bow, not a typical Fernvale block. Ask me for comps on your block.
Lease mix, August: 0 deals had under 60 years remaining; 80 had 60–79 years; 94 had 80+ years.
One deal worth knowing (not a price guide)
Town high this year is not an August deal. In March 2026, a 112 sqm 5-room Premium Apartment at 216C Compassvale Drive (16th–18th storey, 2017, 90 years 3 months left) registered at $1,128,888. Same figure is in HDB’s file.
August’s highest — and only $1m registration — was $1,040,000 for a 113 sqm 5-room Improved at 274B Compassvale Bow (10th–12th, 2017, 90 years 4 months left). Next: $995,000 at 274A Compassvale Bow (16th–18th). July’s high was $1,108,000 at 216D Compassvale Drive.
If a seller quotes Compassvale at $1.13m, that’s a 2017 5-room, not a Fernvale 4-room.
What to tell a client this week
Selling in Sengkang. This is still a top-five town, but August was quieter than July (174 vs 198) and quieter than a year ago (183). Do not price a 4-room off $1.13m. August 4-room median was $648,888, and the spread was $501k–$860k. Rivervale / Fernvale volume is not Compassvale Bow. Median stuck at $650,000 for two months; the tape moved in the mix, not the midpoint.
Buying in Sengkang. More listings than July does not show up in this file — registrations fell. Median is below Aug 2025 ($650k vs $668k). Remaining lease is not the trap here: none of the 174 August deals had under 60 years left, and 94 had 80+. Still check the block. Fernvale Link and Compassvale Bow are different products.
If you advise on cover, not just keys. 174 Sengkang households completed a resale last month. That is 174 moments to check fire insurance, mortgage protection, and whether the sum insured still matches the new price.

Not used, on purpose: aggregator “average PSF” pages, guessed rental yields, guessed LRT / NEL price-uplift %. If a figure is not in the HDB file or a named release, it is unknown.
This is a market note, not a CMA and not financial advice. Resale prices are what two parties agreed, for that block, floor, lease and condition.
