RESALE prices of non-landed private homes dipped 0.8 per cent in December 2015 over the previous month, according to the latest flash estimates from SRX Property. This contrasts with a 0.6 per cent month-on-month gain in November.
The December 2015 flash estimate index value translates to a 2.1 per cent decline year-on-year. Against the recent peak in January 2014, December 2015 prices were down 7.8 per cent.
SRX Property's analysis showed that in all three geographical regions, prices fell month-on-month in December. Prices retreated 0.5 per cent in Core Central Region, 1.2 per cent in the city fringe or Rest of Central Region and 0.7 per cent in the suburbs or Outside Central Region.

Resale volume was down by 74.7 per cent from the peak of 2,050 units resold in April 2010.
