CCR by PSF

District 09 is trading about 6% above the wider CCR median — that gap is worth understanding before you make a move here.

Volume eased slightly in District 09 in May 2026, with 55 resale caveats compared to 57 in April. Month-on-month, the district median PSF softened 1.6% to $2,331 — giving buyers a softer entry point. The district sits above the CCR region median of $2,205 psf (+5.7%).

The $2,331 median PSF represents a 1.6% dip against April's $2,370. Caveat count fell 4% from 57 to 55. 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 09: 1 dual-key unit · 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.

Oue Twin Peaks led with 5 caveats (9% of all district resale) at a median $2,222 psf — near the district median. Irwell Hill Residences and Belle Vue Residences followed with 4 and 4 caveats respectively. Concentration in a few projects usually signals strong secondary-market liquidity — these PSF figures are your most current real-world price anchors.

District 09 held its pricing in May 2026 with minimal movement. That kind of stability reflects a balanced market — neither side holds strong leverage. 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 526 new launch units still available, resale buyers should benchmark against new launch pricing before committing — the gap tells you a lot about relative value.
