02ResaleAugust 2026

The $1,903 median PSF represents a 0.7% dip against July's $1,916. Caveat count fell 33% from 45 to 30. 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 21: 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.

Verdale led with 4 caveats (13% of all district resale) at a median $1,905 psf — near the district median. The Raintree and Daintree Residence followed with 3 and 3 caveats respectively. Concentration in a few projects usually signals strong secondary-market liquidity — these PSF figures are your most current real-world price anchors.

Ron's Read

District 21 held its pricing in August 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. With 216 new launch units still available, resale buyers should benchmark against new launch pricing before committing — the gap tells you a lot about relative value.
