02ResaleSeptember 2026

The $1,972 median PSF represents a 6.3% dip against August's $2,104. Caveat count fell 50% from 22 to 11. 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.

Uptown @ Farrer led with 3 caveats (27% of all district resale) at a median $1,965 psf — near the district median. Piccadilly Grand and Kentish Green followed with 3 and 1 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 (4 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

District 08 saw both prices and volume ease in September 2026 — the kind of double softening that creates real negotiating room. Not a distressed signal, but sellers who priced optimistically may need to recalibrate. 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.
