Problem and Motivation

We all know that if you want to buy a flat, you must consider many related matters such as surroundings, transportation and location. But I believe that the most important thing people concerned is the price.

• So what the distribution of resale public housing prices in 2015?

• What the shares of resale public housing supply in 2015?

• What the differences between 2015 and 2016?

When I first came to Singapore, I was truly curious about the policy of HDB. It is so novel to me as a foreigner. I can’t stop thinking that if I’m a Singaporean, how do I choose my own flat? So I’m very glad to analyse Singapore’s public housing policy and make some conclusions through their price and supply.

Approaches

Money First

Price

Since money is a thing that people always first concerned about. Thus, I wanted to analysed resale public house price by flat type in 2015 and 2016. I chose a line graph because it can show a price trend more clear than a bar chart. Secondly, I used flat type to be one of variables in order to exclude the possible that different types result in another tendency.
