District 05 is trading about 24% above the wider OCR median — that gap is worth understanding before you make a move here.

Volume held broadly steady in District 05 in August 2026, with 57 resale caveats compared to 58 in July. Month-on-month, the district median PSF held near $1,881 — a balanced market with no strong directional pressure. The district sits above the OCR region median of $1,519 psf (+23.8%).

02ResaleAugust 2026

The $1,881 median PSF represents a 0.3% dip against July's $1,886. Caveat count was broadly unchanged at 57. Figures cover condo and EC resale only — landed and strata-landed are excluded as their per-sqft dynamics differ materially from the strata market. Both sides should anchor to recent comparables.

This month in District 05: 1 penthouse sale · 1 dual-key unit.

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

Normanton Park led with 8 caveats (14% of all district resale) at a median $1,993 psf — 6% above the district median. Whistler Grand and Parc Clematis followed with 6 and 5 caveats respectively. Concentration in a few projects usually signals strong secondary-market liquidity — these PSF figures are your most current real-world price anchors.

05Ron's Read
Ron's Read

District 05 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 254 new launch units still available, resale buyers should benchmark against new launch pricing before committing — the gap tells you a lot about relative value.
