Buyers will face resale restrictions after MOP

Your block has 65 years of lease left. A buyer who purchases today and waits out their 5-year MOP will be selling a flat under 60 years — which means their buyers face CPF and loan limits. Savvy buyers know this. It shrinks your pool and puts downward pressure on price.

An experienced agent can help you find motivated buyers and close before this becomes a bigger factor.

How much cash will I actually receive when I sell my flat at Block 49?

Your gross sale proceeds are what the buyer pays. From that, three things are deducted: your outstanding loan, your CPF principal (all CPF savings used for the flat, returned to your CPF OA), and CPF accrued interest (the interest CPF calculates on those savings at 2.5% p.a., compounded annually). What remains after these deductions is your cash in hand. Use the What's Your Flat Worth? calculator above to estimate your actual cash take-home based on Block 49 prices.

What is CPF accrued interest and why does it reduce my sale proceeds?

When you buy a flat using CPF, those funds are considered a loan from your CPF OA to yourself. When you sell, CPF Board requires you to return the principal plus the interest those funds would have earned had they stayed in your OA — currently 2.5% per annum, compounded. This is not a penalty or a fee paid to anyone; the money goes back into your CPF OA. However, it does reduce your cash proceeds — and the longer you have owned the flat, the larger the accrued amount. Use the CPF Accrued Interest Calculator above to estimate your deduction before you decide to sell.

How active is the resale market at Block 49?

Block 49 has recorded 10 resale transactions — roughly 0.4 sales per month over the past 24 months. The latest transaction closed in 2026-05.

What is the remaining lease for Block 49?

Block 49 was built in 1993 with a 99-year lease. It has approximately 65 years 11 months remaining.

Does Block 49's remaining lease affect its resale value?

Can I sell my HDB flat without an agent?
