A reported 13,480 HDB flats are expected to reach the end of their 5-year Minimum Occupation Period (MOP) in 2026. This is almost double the reported 6,970 units that reached MOP in 2025. While the supply is spread across 22 projects in 14 HDB towns, they’re mostly concentrated in 5. If you’re in the market for a resale flat this year, here are the towns that have the highest supply of MOP flats.
| 2-Room | 3-Room | 4-Room | 5-Room | |
| Punggol | 890 | 313 | 1,334 | 685 |
| Queenstown | 408 | 1,094 | 659 | 244 |
| Tampines | – | 244 | 1,162 | 727 |

| Bedok | 409 | – | 757 | 274 |
#1 Punggol
The supply in Punggol is concentrated in the Punggol Northshore district, where the first residents moved into Northshore Residences I & II and Waterfront @ Northshore I & II in 2020. An additional 1,021 units can be found in neighbouring Northshore StraitsView, all of which would reach MOP by 2026.
Billed as HDB’s first smart and sustainable district, we can expect a high demand for Punggol Northshore units now that they’ve reached the end of the MOP. Here is a breakdown of the total number of units at each of these projects.
| 2-Room | 3-Room | 4-Room | 5-Room | |
| Northshore Residences I & II | 546 | 112 | 519 | 225 |
| Waterfront @ Northshore I & II | 362 | 231 | 757 | 247 |
| Northshore StraitsView | 469 | 98 | 264 | 190 |
For an idea of how much you can expect to pay in 2026, several units at Northshore Residences I & II have already been sold over the past 12 months.
| Price Range | |
| 2-Room | $363,000 – $463,000 |
| 3-Room | $530,000 – $638,000 |

#2 Queenstown
Like Punggol, the supply in Queenstown is concentrated in one district. This time it’s the Dawson district, with units in SkyOasis @ Dawson, SkyResidence @ Dawson, and SkyParc @ Dawson, all reaching the end of their MOP in 2026.
These are expected to echo the high demand for units in neighbouring SkyVille @ Dawson and SkyTerrace @ Dawson, where the median resale price for 4-room flats exceeded $1m in 2025.
| 2-Room | 3-Room | 4-Room | 5-Room | |
| SkyOasis @ Dawson | 227 | 503 | 336 | 126 |
| SkyResidence @ Dawson | 184 | 591 | 323 | 119 |
| SkyParc @ Dawson | 104 | 410 | 222 | 74 |
As all three projects are SERS replacement projects, several units have already reached MOP at SkyParc @ Dawson. Sales over the past 2 months could provide an indication of how much you can expect to pay to stay in Queenstown.
| Price Range | |
| 2-Room | $540,000 |
| 3-Room | $818,000 – $890,000 |
| 5-Room | $1,445,000 – $1,520,000 |

#3 Tampines
The MOP projects in Tampines are located in two parts of the massive town, with Tampines GreenVerge in the north, and both Tampines GreenFlora and Tampines GreenBloom in the west. Tampines GreenVerge is easily the biggest project to MOP in 2026, with a total of 2,022 units potentially up for sale.
| 2-Room | 3-Room | 4-Room | 5-Room | |
| Tampines GreenVerge | – | 244 | 1,106 | 612 |
| Tampines GreenFlora | – | – | 153 | 125 |
| Tampines GreenBloom | – | – | 56 | 55 |
While it may not be a 100% like-for-like comparison, resale prices at nearby Tampines GreenRidges over the past 12 months could provide some insight into how much you can expect to pay for Tampines GreenVerge.
| Price Range | |
| 3-Room | $560,000 – $640,000 |
| 4-Room | $730,000 – $806,000 |
| 5-Room | $860,000 – $926,000 |
#4 Toa Payoh
Toa Payoh makes the list due to a single major project that with MOP in 2026 – Alkaff Oasis. All 1,594 units in this Bidadari project will be in high demand once they are eligible.
Back when it launched in February 2016, it attracted a ridiculous amount of attention, with application rates of 7.6 first time buyers and 75.6 second time buyers.
| 2-Room | 3-Room | 4-Room | 5-Room | |
| Alkaff Oasis | 218 | 340 | 800 | 165 |
The Bidadari neighbourhood has long been a popular target for resale buyers, with next door Alkaff Vista and Alkaff Lakeview reaching record prices. Here are the price ranges for resale units in these projects over the past 12 months.
| Price Range | |
| 3-Room | $745,000 – $930,000 |
| 4-Room | $960,000 – $1,336,000 |
| 5-Room | $1,182,000 – $1,450,000 |

#5 Bedok
Bedok makes the list due to two projects – Bedok South Horizon and Bedok Beacon. Both were launched in the November 2016 BTO exercise and are expected to MOP this year.
| 2-Room | 3-Room | 4-Room | 5-Room | |
| Bedok South Horizon | 209 | – | 457 | 274 |
| Bedok Beacon | 200 | – | 300 | – |
With both projects at different ends of the mature HDB town, there’s unfortunately no ideal price comparison to make here. The most recent project to MOP in Bedok is Bedok North Woods, which does not compare to the accessibility of Bedok Beacon. Here are the resale prices from the past 12 months.
| Price Range | |
| 3-Room | $610,000 – $740,888 |
| 4-Room | $808,000 – $995,000 |
