District 18 is trading about 4% below the wider OCR median — that gap is worth understanding before you make a move here.

Volume cooled noticeably in District 18 in May 2026, with 85 resale caveats compared to 96 in April. Month-on-month, the district median PSF softened 1.9% to $1,466 — giving buyers a softer entry point. The district sits below the OCR region median of $1,533 psf (-4.4%).

02ResaleMay 2026

The $1,466 median PSF represents a 1.9% dip against April's $1,494. Caveat count fell 11% from 96 to 85. 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 18: 2 penthouse sales · 2 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.

Treasure At Tampines led with 10 caveats (12% of all district resale) at a median $1,841 psf — 26% above the district median. The Tampines Trilliant and Whitewater followed with 6 and 5 caveats respectively. Concentration in a few projects usually signals strong secondary-market liquidity — these PSF figures are your most current real-world price anchors.

Thin new launch inventory (28 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 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. New launch supply is limited — treat resale listings as the real price benchmark here, not developer pricing on what's left.
