When deciding to sell your HDB flat, the first thing that comes to mind is how much my flat is worth.

You are in the stage of gathering data. Some sellers based their decisions on the property flyers that quoted high selling prices. The objective of these flyers was to generate responses from the sellers. To know how much your flat is worth, you need to analyse the HDB resale transaction prices based on the official data released by the Singapore government instead of any other sources.
