Ron's Read

August 2026 was an active month for Kallang/Whampoa — prices and volume moved up together. That's a stronger read than PSF gains on thin activity. When volume confirms price, it's real. Sellers can hold asking prices with reasonable confidence. Buyers chasing specific blocks should price in less negotiating room this month. That 45% 5-Room lease-decay spread between the 80-89 and under-60 bands is the number to anchor any negotiation on a shorter-lease unit here — don't let a seller price a thinning lease like a fresh one.
