02ResaleAugust 2026

The $1,480 median PSF represents a 1.8% gain against July's $1,454. Caveat count fell 9% from 102 to 93. 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 18: 1 penthouse sale · 1 dual-key unit · 2 study units · 2 sky units · 1 duplex unit.

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

D'Nest led with 13 caveats (14% of all district resale) at a median $1,499 psf — near the district median. The Tapestry and Coco Palms followed with 8 and 7 caveats respectively. Concentration in a few projects usually signals strong secondary-market liquidity — these PSF figures are your most current real-world price anchors.

Unsold Stock

Project Available Total % Sold
Parktown Residence 25 units 69 units 64%

Thin new launch inventory (25 units across 1 project) — late-stage availability tends to be niche (specific types, higher floors). For most buyers here, resale is the market. 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 18 held its pricing in August 2026 with minimal movement. That kind of stability reflects a balanced market — neither side holds strong leverage. 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.
