At this point, it’s no longer a surprise to hear that Clementi (unofficial educational hub of Singapore) has yet another million-dollar flat. This time it’s a 5-room unit at 445A Clementi Ave 3, changing hands for $1,488,888.88 in November 2025. The 88 cents are probably added to make it an extra lucky number.
This 5-room flat is 113 sqm, and is somewhere on the 37th to 39th floors. It’s from Clementi Crest, where the first few projects have begun to reach MOP. Leases here began around 2021, so the flat is roughly four years old. This adds to the price premium, as it’s an already-built flat with negligible lease decay.
The previous record here was for a nearby high-floor unit in 445B, which sold for $1,458,888 earlier this year. This new sale adds about $30,000 on top of that benchmark.
It’s far from being the priciest 5-room flat in the market though.
This transaction ranks in 53rd place, far behind the current nation-wide record holder: a Queenstown loft-style 5-room flat that fetched $1,658,888. Still, we can see PropertyGuru listings with asking prices over the $1.5 million mark for Clementi Crest even now; so we expect to see this HDB project making more records in future.
How much the seller likely made
5-room flats here originally launched from around $576,000. This could come to around $900,000 in raw sale proceeds.
However, the sellers may have paid a lot more due to this being a higher floor unit; so net gains will be impacted by that.
A look at the layout
The 5-room layout at Clementi Crest is a newer design, and some features include :
– A private foyer that opens against a wall (good for privacy)
– A clearly defined dining area separated from the living zone
– Space for a living-plus-study configuration
– A wide main wall in the living room, making TV placement and furniture planning straightforward
Clementi Crest has quickly become one of the most desirable HDB clusters in the west; not just because of close proximity to schools and NUS (something Clementi has long been known for), but because of its newness compared to surrounding stock. With more MOP’ed units expected to transact soon, we’re only seeing the start of things.
