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.
