SINGAPORE, April 1 — Public housing resale prices in Singapore have dipped for the first time in nearly seven years.
According to a report by Singapore’s CNA citing data from the Housing and Development Board (HDB), the resale price index slipped 0.1 per cent in the first quarter of 2026 compared with the previous quarter.
This ends a long stretch of rising prices and follows several quarters of slower growth.
Resale activity also reportedly eased, with 6,179 transactions recorded as of March 30 — about 4.5 per cent fewer than a year earlier.
Analysts cited by CNA said the decline suggests the market is becoming more balanced, with improved housing supply helping to moderate prices.
The drop reportedly comes as the government continues to release new Build-to-Order flats in prime areas with shorter waiting periods.
HDB is set to launch around 6,900 new flats in June and is encouraging buyers to secure their eligibility documents early while advising households to be cautious amid economic uncertainty.
