02ResaleAugust 2026

The $2,114 median PSF represents a 23.0% gain against July's $1,719. Caveat count rose 57% from 14 to 22. 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 08: 1 penthouse sale · 2 dual-key units · 2 study units.

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

Piccadilly Grand led with 4 caveats (18% of all district resale) at a median $2,363 psf — 12% above the district median. City Square Residences and Kerrisdale 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.

New launch supply in District 08 is effectively exhausted (5 units). Resale is the only game in town — that structural scarcity generally supports price floors. With almost no new launch left, resale is effectively the only market. Don't expect developers to set the price ceiling here.

05Ron's Read
Ron's Read

August 2026 was an active month for District 08 — prices and volume moved up together. That's a stronger read than PSF gains on thin activity. When volume confirms price, it's real. Sellers can hold asking prices with reasonable confidence. Buyers chasing specific projects should price in less negotiating room this month. New launch supply is limited — treat resale listings as the real price benchmark here, not developer pricing on what's left.
