How to search for a three-bedroom Thomson home within budget

A current transaction-led search method replacing an obsolete fixed-price list.

Published 9 September 2021

Updated September 2026. The former S$1.6 million shortlist is retired because prices and availability change.

Turn the price cap into a current search

Start with the household's maximum total quantum, financing buffer and minimum usable area. Query current URA transactions for three-bedroom homes in the Thomson area, then separate asking prices from completed sales.

  • Floor area and layout efficiency
  • Tenure, age and remaining lease
  • Floor, facing, noise and condition
  • Walking route to transport and amenities
  • Maintenance costs and competing supply

A historic list does not establish current availability or value. Verify every project, unit and price at the date of the search.
