Character
The town in one paragraph.
Blue chip HDB town. Catholic High, Raffles Institution proximity drives consistent premium. Bishan AMK park.
The upgrade angle
If you're an upgrader in Bishan.
Bishan HDB resale sets benchmarks. Upgraders here are high income, often moving to D11 Novena / D20 Thomson for school proximity.
The sequencing that matters
- MOP timing, have you cleared the 5 year minimum occupation period? If not, when will you?
- Sell first vs buy first, the single most expensive sequencing decision for HDB upgraders. Varies by ABSD exposure and financing.
- Cash proceeds vs CPF refund, running the CPF accrued interest math (see article) before you list.
- ABSD remission window, 6 month rule after completion of your new property, strictly enforced.
