Where the gap is widest
Streets need at least eight sales of each type before they are ranked, so a single sale cannot define a street.
| Street | 3-room $/sqm | 4-room $/sqm | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bedok South Road | $6,026 | $8,690 | +44.2% |
| Chai Chee Road | $6,531 | $8,122 | +24.4% |

| Bedok North Street 4 | $8,380 | $8,990 | +7.3% |
| Bedok Reservoir Crescent | $9,885 | $10,102 | +2.2% |
| Bedok Central | $10,120 | $9,900 | -2.2% |
The widest gap in the town is on Bedok South Road, where four-room flats average $8,690 per square metre against $6,026 for three-room — a 44.2% premium.
In cash terms that gap is $671 per square metre. At the town averages of about 68 square metres for a three-room and 93 for a four-room, the total difference is roughly $225,545 — of which $162,927 is simply the extra floor area at the three-room rate, and the remainder is what buyers pay for the layout, the height and the block.
Of the 14 streets with enough sales of both types, 2 show a wider gap than the town average, and the narrowest is Bedok North Avenue 2 at -11.8%.
How to use the gap
A gap wider than the town average usually means the four-room stock on those streets is newer or better placed than the three-room stock — not that four-room flats are worth more by nature. In Bedok the widest is 44.2% and the narrowest -11.8%, so a buyer comparing a three-room and a four-room in the same street can see straight away whether the premium is being asked for space or for position.
