HDB resale prices just fell for the second straight quarter — and fewer buyers are showing up. Prices dipped 0.3% in Q2 after a 0.1% fall in Q1. Volumes sank 10.2% to just 6,268 units. Here's who's hurting: Serangoon fell 7.9%, Marine Parade dropped 7.6%, Geylang slid 6.9%. Yet 491 million-dollar flats sold in Q2 alone — a record 7.8% of all resale deals. The Central Area bucked the trend with prices up 19.7% — a two-speed market is forming. Rising retrenchments and slower hiring are making buyers cautious — flats now take 2 to 3 months to sell. Analysts expect a bottom in Q3 and a recovery by Q4 2026 — if no recession hits. Which town is on your watchlist? Drop it below — I'll break down the numbers for you.
