02ResaleAugust 2026

The $1,478 median PSF represents a 1.6% gain against July's $1,454. Caveat count fell 9% from 103 to 94. 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 · 2 dual-key units · 2 study units · 1 sky unit · 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.

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.
