What is the historical trend of the percentage of private home buyers in Singapore who were HDB owners?

The historical trend for private home buyers who are HDB owners in Singapore shows a consistently strong presence of HDB upgraders among private property purchasers, especially during periods of robust HDB resale price growth or significant new condo launches. Over the past several years, waves of HDB upgraders have entered the private market as their flats appreciated in value, making upgrading more financially viable. This trend has been particularly notable in years when HDB resale prices surged, and has resulted in many million-dollar HDB transactions with the proceeds frequently used to fund private property purchases.
