Who Buys 1-Room Flats, and What to Watch
Here is the honest truth about 1-room flats: almost all of them are rental stock. The handful that reach the resale market are studio apartments from specific schemes.
Resale 1-room deals are so rare that a single transaction can swing the median. Treat every number on this page as an anecdote, not a market. If you are actually shopping in this segment, you are probably better served by a 2-room Flexi BTO (for seniors, on short leases), and those never appear in resale data at all.
