02ResaleJuly 2026

The $1,736 median PSF represents a 5.9% dip against June's $1,844. Caveat count rose 40% from 10 to 14. 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 buyer, this is a reasonable window to negotiate.

This month in District 08: 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.

Piccadilly Grand led with 2 caveats (14% of all district resale) at a median $2,554 psf — 47% above the district median. Uptown @ Farrer and Kerrisdale followed with 2 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.

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

PSF softened 5.9% in July 2026 while caveats held reasonably steady. Price softness without a volume collapse is sellers adjusting, not distress — a healthier dynamic than the reverse. For buyers, this is a window — softening PSF with available stock is the better entry setup. Don't wait for the market to confirm the bottom. New launch supply is limited — treat resale listings as the real price benchmark here, not developer pricing on what's left.
