Lease count trend by bedroom type — whether demand for each size is rising or falling, not just this month's snapshot.

URA OCR Rental Index: 169.5 (2026-Q1), —% YoY.

8696 of 8805 Non-Landed leases island-wide this month resolved to a market segment (98.8% coverage); 109 unresolved and excluded (see footer).

05New Launch

As of 2026-09-02, OCR has sold 3,906 of 5,414 launched non-landed units (72% sell-through) across 28 projects — ranked #1 of 3 tiers by units sold this month.

OCR (this) 3,906 1,508 72% 28

Three tiers shown separately, not blended — comparing OCR against a merged "other two tiers" figure would always look lopsided on raw counts simply because a 2-region blend has more stock than any 1 region.

By Bedroom Type

Available, sold, each tier's rank by units sold, and the 4-month sell-through trend, per bedroom count. "Share" is each tier's % of ITS OWN total stock in that bucket — the fair way to compare unit-mix preference across tiers of different size.

OCR developers are notably over-indexed on 3-Bed units relative to CCR and RCR — 38% of OCR's own stock vs an average 20% in the other two tiers (+18pp gap) — a read on developer preference for this tier, not just buyer demand.

New Sale volume: 54 units this month at a median $2,115 psf, vs 125 island-wide.
