    [SINGAPORE] The public housing market will likely see modest growth in resale prices next year, with ample fresh supply and cooling demand keeping a lid on flat prices.

    Analysts project that resale prices of Housing & Development Board (HDB) flats could rise by between 1 and 5 per cent, after the market slowed considerably this year.

    Resale flat prices were up 2.9 per cent for the first nine months of 2025, after rising sharply in 2024 to gain 9.7 per cent. Prices accelerated after a 4.9 per cent increase in 2023.
