No HDB leases lodged in Central Area in Jul 2026 — and too few over the trailing 12 months to report a reliable figure.
A 4.9% PSF uptick at steady volume is a constructive signal — prices moving on genuine activity, not a thin-month statistical blip. Sellers have some pricing power. Sellers can hold asking prices with reasonable confidence. Buyers chasing specific blocks should price in less negotiating room this month. That 49% 4-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.
