Private home prices inch up 0.5% while HDB resale prices slip further by 0.3% in Q2: flash data

[SINGAPORE] Private residential prices rose 0.5 per cent in the second quarter of 2026, while resale public housing values inched down a further 0.3 per cent, government flash estimates released on Wednesday (Jul 1) showed.

Private housing price growth in Q2 was slower than the 0.9 per cent rise in the first quarter. 

Price growth was driven by the landed segment, where prices increased 2.6 per cent, swinging from a 0.4 per cent dip in the prior quarter. 

By region, the price change of non-landed private homes was mixed in Q2, with the Core Central Region registering the biggest rise of 2 per cent, compared with the 0.6 per cent growth previously.  

Meanwhile, prices in the Outside Central Region inched down 0.2 per cent, reversing from a 2.2 per cent increase in the preceding three months. That of the Rest of Central Region fell 1.4 per cent, from a 0.8 per cent growth in Q1. 

Sales volume held fairly stable in Q2, with 5,420 transactions recorded, up marginally from 5,413 in the previous quarter. 

In the public housing market, data from the Housing & Development Board (HDB) showed a further easing of prices, declining by 0.3 per cent in Q2 after a 0.1 per cent drop in the prior quarter. 

“This is the second consecutive quarter in which resale prices have declined,” HDB noted.

Transaction volumes of resale flats held steady at 6,268 units in Q2, from 6,285 in the previous quarter. Year on year, this was a 10.2 per cent decrease from the 6,981 units recorded in the same period last year.
