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

URA RCR Rental Index: 172.3 (2026-Q1), —% YoY.

7852 of 7970 Non-Landed leases island-wide this month resolved to a market segment (98.5% coverage); 118 unresolved and excluded (see footer).

05New Launch

As of 2026-09-22, RCR has sold 2,037 of 2,820 launched non-landed units (72% sell-through) across 29 projects — ranked #3 of 3 tiers by units sold this month.

RCR (this) 2,037 783 72% 29
OCR 3,401 1,995 63% 26

Three tiers shown separately, not blended — comparing RCR 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.

RCR developers are notably over-indexed on 1-Bed units relative to CCR and OCR — 22% of RCR's own stock vs an average 12% in the other two tiers (+10pp gap) — a read on developer preference for this tier, not just buyer demand.

New Sale Volume

New Sale volume: 75 units this month at a median $2,688 psf, vs 174 island-wide.

Forward construction pipeline (under-construction / planned, not-yet-launched units) is not published at market-segment level in URA's data as of this writing — the sold/available figures above are current inventory only, from EcoProp's tracked project list.
