HDB Resale Prices Drop Second Quarter While Condo Growth Hits Six-Year Low
Published 25 July 2026 · Covers news from 24 Jul to 25 Jul
URA Q2 2026 data shows private home prices rose just 0.5% quarter-on-quarter — the weakest first-half performance since 2020 — while HDB resale prices fell for a second consecutive quarter, even as million-dollar flat transactions reached a record high.
- URA Q2 2026 figures show private residential prices up only 0.5% quarter-on-quarter, marking the slowest first-half growth since 2020; non-landed prices dipped while landed homes rebounded, and resale transactions drove a 13.6% rise in total sales volume. [5]
- HDB resale prices declined for a second straight quarter in Q2 2026, yet million-dollar flat sales simultaneously hit a record 491 units transacted — a split signal that buyers and agents should note carefully before reading the market as uniformly soft or strong. [2]
- Bloomberg and The Edge Malaysia both report Singapore home prices have risen for a seventh consecutive quarter and that rents have jumped, which sits in tension with Stacked Homes' reporting of the slowest condo price growth since 2020 — buyers should weigh these differing characterisations against the specific metrics each outlet cites.

- A PropNex survey from the prior week found that many younger buyers of million-dollar HDB flats were purchasing their first home or upsizing rather than speculating, providing some buyer-profile context behind the record million-dollar transaction figures. [11]
- The URA office rent index rose 0.8% in Q2 2026 according to The Business Times, with prime offices noted as outperforming — a data point relevant to investors tracking the broader real estate cycle, though it is a separate segment from residential. [10]
