The Certificate of Entitlement (COE) premium for the Open Category hit an all-time high of S$114,001 on July 20, 2022.

This broke the record of S$110,524 on July 6, the last bidding exercise.

The July 6 figure was a new record on its own having surpassed the S$110,500 previous record set 28 years ago in December 1994 for the then-Category Four classification.

Category B and the Open Category crossed the S$100,000 psychological mark on June 8, 2022.
