02ResaleAugust 2026

The $1,906 median PSF represents a 0.5% gain against July's $1,896. Caveat count rose 100% from 8 to 16. Figures cover condo and EC resale only — landed and strata-landed are excluded as their per-sqft dynamics differ materially from the strata market. If you're a seller, this month's data supports holding asking price.

This month in District 01: 1 study unit.

A Roncasa exclusive — no other Singapore property platform surfaces penthouse, dual-key, study, sky, or duplex units at the individual-caveat level.

The Sail @ Marina Bay led with 4 caveats (25% of all district resale) at a median $2,159 psf — 13% above the district median. Marina One Residences and People'S Park Complex followed with 4 and 2 caveats respectively. Concentration in a few projects usually signals strong secondary-market liquidity — these PSF figures are your most current real-world price anchors. Concentrated activity at one project means better price discovery there than anywhere else in the district right now.

05Ron's Read
Ron's Read

District 01 held its pricing in August 2026 with minimal movement. That kind of stability reflects a balanced market — neither side holds strong leverage. Anchor to recent comparables on both sides. Sentiment isn't driving this market right now — data is. With 1061 new launch units still available, resale buyers should benchmark against new launch pricing before committing — the gap tells you a lot about relative value.
