This snapshot looks at monthly asking rents in Singapore dollars (S$) for recent Hozuko room listings as of 28 June 2026.
The short version: HDB common rooms still cluster around S$900, condo common rooms are closer to S$1,300, and condo master rooms now show a noticeably higher median at about S$2,170.
June 2026 room-rent baseline
Across Singapore, the typical asking-rent ranges on Hozuko are:
| Segment | Typical range (25th-75th percentile) in SGD/month |
|---|---|
| HDB common room | 800-1,100 (median 900) |
| HDB master room | 1,200-1,520 (median 1,400) |
| Condo common room | 1,100-1,500 (median 1,300) |
| Condo master room | 1,890-2,400 (median 2,170) |
| Landed common room | 980-1,550 (median 1,200) |
| Landed master room | 1,500-2,250 (median 1,800) |
The main practical read:
- HDB common rooms are still the most affordable large segment, with a median around S$900.
- HDB master rooms sit around S$1,400, roughly S$500 above HDB common rooms.
- Condo common rooms are about S$400 above HDB common rooms at the median.
- Condo master rooms are the strongest premium segment in this refresh, with a median around S$2,170.
- Landed master rooms sit around S$1,800 at the median, while landed common rooms sit closer to S$1,200.
How to read the numbers
Each quoted range uses the 25th-75th percentile plus the median.
That means:
- the lower number is around the 25th percentile
- the upper number is around the 75th percentile
- the median is the middle listing in that segment
This is more useful than a simple average because a handful of unusual rooms can otherwise pull the number up or down.
For this refresh:
- Region tables show cells with at least 25 listings.
- Planning-area tables show cells with at least 10 listings.
- The tables focus on cells that meet those reporting thresholds.
- Figures are asking rents, not final signed rents after negotiation.
What changed from the last snapshot
The broad structure of the market is familiar: common rooms are cheaper than master rooms, and HDB rooms are cheaper than comparable condo rooms. But a few details stand out in the June 2026 data.
First, condo master rooms are meaningfully higher than in the previous snapshot. The national median is now around S$2,170, and Central condo master rooms show a median around S$2,300.
Second, HDB common rooms remain relatively stable. The national median is still around S$900, with many non-central areas clustered between S$800 and S$1,000.
Third, landed rooms show a wider spread by room type. Landed master rooms sit well above landed common rooms, while landed common rooms overlap more with condo common-room pricing.
HDB room rents by region
HDB rooms show a consistent region-level pattern across all five regions.
| Region | Common Room (SGD/month) | Master Room (SGD/month) |
|---|---|---|
| Central | 950-1,270 (median 1,180) | 1,350-1,900 (median 1,800) |
| East | 820-1,100 (median 950) | 1,300-1,550 (median 1,400) |
| North | 750-1,000 (median 850) | 1,200-1,520 (median 1,300) |
| North-East | 800-1,040 (median 900) | 1,100-1,460 (median 1,300) |
| West | 800-1,000 (median 890) | 1,200-1,500 (median 1,300) |
What this suggests:
- Central HDB rooms remain the highest region-level HDB segment.
- North, North-East and West HDB master rooms are tightly grouped, with medians around S$1,300.
- East HDB rooms sit above North and West for common rooms, but below Central.
Condo room rents by region
For condos, common-room rents are reported across Central, East, North-East and West. Master-room rents are reported across Central, East and West.
| Region | Common Room (SGD/month) | Master Room (SGD/month) |
|---|---|---|
| Central | 1,150-1,600 (median 1,350) | 2,000-2,500 (median 2,300) |
| East | 1,100-1,350 (median 1,200) | 1,710-2,100 (median 1,900) |
| North | - | - |
| North-East | 1,080-1,350 (median 1,200) | - |
| West | 1,150-1,500 (median 1,300) | 1,900-2,300 (median 2,200) |
The useful takeaway is that condo common rooms are no longer just a Central-region story. East, North-East and West condo common rooms all cluster around S$1,200-S$1,300 at the median.
For condo master rooms, reported medians are around S$1,900-S$2,300.
Landed room rents by region
At region level, Central landed master rooms meet the reporting threshold.
| Region | Common Room (SGD/month) | Master Room (SGD/month) |
|---|---|---|
| Central | - | 1,500-2,400 (median 1,800) |
For the national landed figures:
- landed common rooms: 980-1,550, median S$1,200
- landed master rooms: 1,500-2,250, median S$1,800
Use these together with the actual room condition, size, furnishing and location.
HDB room rents by planning area
Planning-area tables are most useful when you already know where you want to rent. These cells use a 10-listing threshold and give a more local view than the national and region tables.
| Area | Common Room (SGD/month) | Master Room (SGD/month) |
|---|---|---|
| Ang Mo Kio | 700-1,200 (median 1,000) | 1,130-1,550 (median 1,350) |
| Bedok | 840-1,100 (median 950) | 1,400-1,540 (median 1,400) |
| Bukit Batok | 800-970 (median 880) | 900-1,500 (median 1,350) |
| Bukit Merah | 1,020-1,220 (median 1,200) | - |
| Bukit Panjang | 800-1,000 (median 900) | - |
| Choa Chu Kang | 710-850 (median 800) | - |
| Clementi | 990-1,200 (median 1,000) | - |

| Jurong West | 730-1,000 (median 850) | 1,160-1,500 (median 1,400) |
| Kallang | 950-1,200 (median 1,100) | - |
| Novena | 600-990 (median 900) | - |
| Pasir Ris | 820-1,200 (median 980) | - |
| Punggol | 850-1,000 (median 950) | - |
| Queenstown | 1,150-1,350 (median 1,200) | - |
| Sembawang | 850-1,000 (median 900) | - |
| Sengkang | 800-950 (median 900) | - |
| Serangoon | 900-1,100 (median 1,100) | - |
| Tampines | 830-1,000 (median 950) | - |
| Toa Payoh | 900-1,250 (median 1,050) | - |
| Woodlands | 750-1,000 (median 850) | 1,000-1,500 (median 1,300) |
| Yishun | 730-950 (median 850) | 1,210-1,580 (median 1,300) |
For HDB common rooms, lower-cost areas include Choa Chu Kang, Woodlands, Yishun, Jurong West and Hougang. More central or mature areas such as Queenstown, Bukit Merah, Kallang and Toa Payoh sit higher.
Condo room rents by planning area
Condo rents vary meaningfully by planning area, especially between city-fringe locations and outer-region estates.
| Area | Common Room (SGD/month) | Master Room (SGD/month) |
|---|---|---|
| Bedok | 1,080-1,390 (median 1,200) | 1,800-2,100 (median 2,090) |
| Bukit Merah | 1,260-1,600 (median 1,430) | - |
| Bukit Timah | 1,150-1,500 (median 1,250) | - |
| Choa Chu Kang | 1,130-1,250 (median 1,150) | - |
| Clementi | 1,400-1,750 (median 1,600) | - |
| Geylang | 1,000-1,350 (median 1,200) | - |
| Jurong East | 1,250-1,440 (median 1,320) | - |
| Jurong West | 1,200-1,450 (median 1,300) | 2,150-2,300 (median 2,200) |
| Kallang | 1,240-1,690 (median 1,500) | - |
| Novena | 950-1,350 (median 1,150) | - |
| Pasir Ris | 1,060-1,340 (median 1,200) | - |
| Queenstown | 1,340-1,650 (median 1,500) | 2,380-2,510 (median 2,450) |
| River Valley | 1,290-1,900 (median 1,550) | - |
| Sengkang | 1,200-1,350 (median 1,280) | - |
| Tampines | 1,100-1,300 (median 1,200) | 1,740-1,950 (median 1,800) |
| Toa Payoh | 990-1,300 (median 1,200) | - |
| Woodlands | 1,080-1,150 (median 1,100) | - |
Some planning-area medians may look surprising because condo stock varies a lot by age, project quality, MRT access and whether the listing is in a larger shared unit. Treat the planning-area table as a local price check, then compare individual listings on photos, commute and house rules.
How to use this if you are renting a room
If a room is priced inside the 25th-75th percentile range, it is broadly in line with similar Hozuko listings in that segment.
If it is above the 75th percentile, ask what explains the premium:
- Is it close to MRT?
- Is the room larger than usual?
- Does it have an attached bathroom?
- Are utilities, Wi-Fi or cleaning included?
- Are the photos and condition clearly above average?
If it is below the 25th percentile, it may be good value, but check the trade-offs:
- strict visitor or cooking rules
- longer walk or bus ride to MRT
- older room condition
- no air-con
- unusually short lease or lease takeover constraints
How to use this if you are listing a room
For publishers, the median is a useful starting point.
- Price near the median if you want a balanced starting point.
- Price closer to the 25th percentile if you want faster enquiries.
- Price above the 75th percentile only if the room has a clear reason to command more.
For common rooms, small price differences can matter. A room at S$950 may sit in a different enquiry band from one at S$1,100, especially in HDB-heavy areas where renters can compare many similar listings.
For master rooms, the premium is real, but renters will expect a clear benefit: attached bathroom, privacy, size, or better furnishing.
For hyperlocal checks
Some neighbourhoods and room types are best checked against the broader region or national benchmark.
For an exact area or room type:
- Start with the national segment table.
- Check the region table for your property type.
- Adjust based on the actual room: MRT distance, attached bathroom, furnishing, owner-staying setup, cooking rules and lease flexibility.
For highly specific searches, compare the benchmark against live listings with similar commute, room type and furnishing.
Methodology and disclaimer
These figures are based on Hozuko room listings as of 28 June 2026.
The source set includes 1,979 room listings:
- 1,458 currently published listings
- 521 listings marked as rented in the last 180 days
We also apply a basic rent sanity filter and include only monthly rents from S$400 to S$6,000.
These are asking rents, not final contracted rents. Actual signed rents may be lower after negotiation, or occasionally higher for rare rooms with strong demand.
