HDB resale prices fell another 0.2% in Q3 2026, marking the third consecutive quarterly decline.
But hereโs the interesting partโฆ
๐ 7,528 resale transactions were recorded in Q3 โ 5.2% higher than the same period last year.
And despite the lifting of the 15-month wait-out period for certain private-property owners buying resale HDB flats, HDB said it has not seen a significant increase in purchases by private-property downgraders so far.
At the same time, around 7,960 new HDB flats are expected to be launched in November across Bedok, Geylang, Sembawang, Tengah, Toa Payoh and Yishun.
So what does this mean?
