Published 8 August 2026 · Covers news from 7 Aug to 8 Aug
The removal of the 15-month wait-out period marks a significant policy shift for private homeowners looking to purchase HDB resale flats, according to PropertyReview.sg. Separately, Stacked Homes highlights five duplex condos spanning over 1,800 sq ft still available under $2 million across several districts.
- PropertyReview.sg reports that the end of the 15-month wait-out period changes the calculus for Singapore homeowners who previously had to wait before buying an HDB resale flat after selling a private property — a rule that had constrained housing mobility since its introduction as a cooling measure [1].
- Stacked Homes identifies five duplex condos priced under $2 million — located in Lakeside, Chong Pang, Yishun, Toa Payoh, and Pasir Ris — each exceeding 1,800 sq ft, offering large-format living at sub-$2M price points across both mature and non-mature estates [3].
- Stacked Homes outlines the financial complexity facing divorcing couples in Singapore, noting that splitting a jointly owned property involves navigating Seller's Stamp Duty, CPF refund obligations, and refinancing requirements before any court order can be fully executed — across three common ownership scenarios [4].
- Real Estate Asia reports that despite fewer new project launches, buyer appetite in Singapore's housing market has remained resilient, suggesting demand has not been materially dampened by reduced supply of new launches [6].
