    HDB resale prices fell 0.3 per cent in January compared to December, while transactions fell 13.9 per cent to about 1,174 flats resold, according to data from SRX Property released on Thursday.

    Consultants called the drop a blip and believe that prices of HDB resale flats are still continuing to stabilise. As for the double-digit drop in transaction volume, it could be due to the large supply of build-to-order (BTO) flats released for application in the new-sale market in November, they said.
