HDB Resale Prices Fall Second Quarter; EC Study Flags Early-Buyer Gains
Published 7 July 2026 · Covers news from 6 Jul to 7 Jul
HDB resale prices declined for a second consecutive quarter in 2Q2026, with younger flat transactions at a six-year low cited as a contributing factor. A separate analysis of executive condominiums finds early buyers have historically captured the largest gains, while resale ECs continue to hold value through size and pricing.
- Stacked Homes reports HDB resale prices fell 0.3% in 2Q2026, marking the second straight quarterly decline; 16 towns recorded price drops while 10 posted gains, with the Central Area leading on the upside [2].
- According to the same report, younger resale flat transactions have hit a six-year low, which Stacked Homes identifies as a key trend helping to explain the sustained softening in HDB resale prices [2].
- A Stacked Homes study of EC performance since launch finds that early buyers (at launch) have generally seen the biggest capital gains, resale ECs still hold value through larger unit sizes and relative affordability, and location played a smaller role than expected in determining returns [3].
- CDL and Hong Realty are reported to have outbid three other parties with a S$542.4 million offer at S$1,865 psf ppr for a Peck Hay Road plot, pointing to continued developer appetite for prime land even as the public housing segment softens [7].
- Private home prices rose 0.9% in 1Q2026, driven by a rebound in the non-landed segment, according to Yahoo News Singapore — a data point that sits in contrast to the concurrent two-quarter decline in HDB resale prices [9].
