02ResaleSeptember 2026

The $1,487 median PSF represents a 0.4% gain against August's $1,481. Caveat count was broadly unchanged at 98. 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.

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 (10% of all district resale) at a median $1,862 psf — 25% above the district median. D'Nest and Melville Park followed with 9 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 September 2026 with minimal movement. That kind of stability reflects a balanced market — neither side holds strong leverage. Anchor to recent comparables on both sides. Sentiment isn't driving this market right now — data is. New launch supply is limited — treat resale listings as the real price benchmark here, not developer pricing on what's left.
