02ResaleAugust 2026

The $2,337 median PSF represents a 2.6% dip against July's $2,398. Caveat count fell 18% from 57 to 47. 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 09: 1 dual-key unit · 3 study units · 1 sky unit.

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

The Scotts Tower led with 4 caveats (9% of all district resale) at a median $1,997 psf — 15% below the district median. Martin Modern and Kim Sia Court followed with 3 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.

Ron's Read

District 09 saw both prices and volume ease in August 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. With 522 new launch units still available, resale buyers should benchmark against new launch pricing before committing — the gap tells you a lot about relative value.
