02ResaleAugust 2026

The $1,443 median PSF represents a 3.8% dip against July's $1,500. Caveat count fell 16% from 75 to 63. 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 buyer, this is a reasonable window to negotiate.

This month in District 23: 1 penthouse sale · 3 study 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.

Sol Acres led with 6 caveats (10% of all district resale) at a median $1,487 psf — near the district median. The Warren and Inz Residence followed with 4 and 4 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 23 saw both prices and volume ease in August 2026 — the kind of double softening that creates real negotiating room. Not a distressed signal, but sellers who priced optimistically may need to recalibrate. 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. With 327 new launch units still available, resale buyers should benchmark against new launch pricing before committing — the gap tells you a lot about relative value.
