Singapore Property Transactions: A Complete Overview of What's Selling and For How Much (2026)
How many homes are changing hands and at what prices — private and HDB, by district, flat type and bedroom — refreshed as new URA and HDB caveats lodge.
Over the past year, 27,154 private homes sold across 27 districts, at prices ranging from $1,228 per square foot in the most affordable district (D25) to $3,059 in the priciest (D09) — a 2.5-fold gap. A median 4-room HDB flat resells for $630,000 and a 5-room for $740,000; the median private home rents for $4,300 a month. HDB resale data lands in monthly batches (around 2,250 recently), while private caveats lodge continuously but lag — so the newest weeks always look quieter than they really are.
Every week, thousands of Singapore homes change hands — and a single "average price" hides almost everything that matters. This page is the ledger: how much is actually transacting, at what prices, and how those prices differ by district, flat type and bedroom.
It is grounded entirely in lodged URA and HDB caveats and refreshed as new data arrives, so you see the real spread rather than one misleading number. For what these numbers mean for buying or selling, see the current state of the Singapore property market.
How many homes are actually selling in Singapore right now?
About 7,860 private homes changed hands in the last 90 days (part of 27,154 over the past year), plus thousands of HDB resales. The most recent 30 days always looks thinner — 1,376 — because caveats take weeks to lodge, not because the market stalled.
Over the past year, 27,154 private homes were sold across Singapore's 27 active districts (URA caveats). Zoom in and the recent pace looks like this: about 7,860 private sales were lodged in the last 90 days, but only 1,376 in the last 30 — and that drop is a reporting artefact, not a slowdown.
| Lane | Data to | Last 30 days | Last 90 days | Lodging pattern |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Private sale (URA caveats) | 2026-06-23 | 1,376 | 7,860 | continuous, lagged |
| HDB resale | 2026-07-01 | 2,250 | 4,386 | monthly batch |
| Private rental (URA) | 2026-05-01 | 14,562 | 28,277 | monthly batch |
Private sale caveats can take weeks to lodge, so the most recent 30 days is always incomplete. HDB and rental data behave differently again — they arrive in monthly batches, so their recent-window counts move in steps and lag a month or two. None of this is a market signal; it is data plumbing.
The practical rule for reading any of the numbers on this page: compare complete periods, never the raw last month. To slice the live data yourself — by district, project, price or date — use the property transactions finder.
What are homes actually transacting at — the median prices today?
It depends heavily on what and where. A median 4-room HDB flat resells for $630,000; private homes range from about $1,228 per square foot in the most affordable district to $3,059 in the priciest; the median private home rents for $4,300 a month.
There is no single "average Singapore home" — the price depends entirely on what you are buying and where. Three anchors set the scale:
- HDB resale: a median 4-room flat is $630,000, a 5-room $740,000 (national medians, latest completed half-year).
- Private sale: there is no meaningful national median, because private prices span a huge range — from about $1,228 per square foot in the most affordable district to $3,059 in the priciest. The total price depends on unit size as much as district, which is why the section below shows the full spread rather than one average.
- Private rent: the median non-landed home rents for $4,300 a month.
That spread is the real story, and it is why a headline "average price" misleads more than it informs. Ask not what the average home costs, but what a home like yours costs, where you are looking. The three sections below break each market down — by district, by flat type, and by bedroom.
Which districts are most active — and which are priciest?
District 9 (Orchard/River Valley) is the priciest at $3,059 per square foot, District 25 (Woodlands) the most affordable at $1,228 — a 2.5-fold gap — while District 5 on the west coast saw the most sales.
By transacted price per square foot, the prime core leads and the north is the value end. District 9 (Orchard, River Valley, Cairnhill) is the priciest at $3,059 per square foot; District 25 (Woodlands, Kranji) is the most affordable at $1,228 — a 2.5-fold gap across the island. The most sales happened in District 5 (the west coast), with 2,121 in the window.
| District | Median price | Median PSF | Sales (n) | Projects |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| D09 | $2.39M | $3,059 | 1,990 | 154 |
| D02 | $1.73M | $2,957 | 347 | 19 |
| D03 | $2.23M | $2,835 | 2,101 | 37 |
| D10 | $2.63M | $2,834 | 1,803 | 218 |
| D01 | $2.13M | $2,818 | 419 | 16 |
| D16 | $1.92M | $2,535 | 1,926 | 63 |
| D15 | $2.51M | $2,355 | 1,569 | 268 |
| D07 | $1.85M | $2,323 | 169 | 14 |
Read the two price columns differently: the median PSF is the fairer like-for-like comparison between districts, while the median price moves with the mix of unit sizes that happened to sell. To drill into any district, project or town, use the property transactions finder, the private residential market overview, or the HDB market overview for town-level flat prices.
How many HDB flats resell each month, and at what price?
HDB resale data arrives in monthly batches — recently around 2,250 flats a month — and the national median is $630,000 for a 4-room and $740,000 for a 5-room. The HDB Resale Price Index (203.4) has essentially plateaued.
HDB resale data lands in monthly batches — recently around 2,250 flats a month. The national medians by flat type, for the latest completed half-year, are:
| Flat type | Median resale price | YoY | Resales (n) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 Room | $375k | +3.4% | 384 |
| 3 Room | $443k | +0.0% | 2,934 |
| 4 Room | $630k | +0.0% | 5,387 |
| 5 Room | $740k | +1.4% | 2,799 |
| Executive | $910k | +1.1% | 742 |
The HDB Resale Price Index sits at 203.4, up just 1.2% over the year — a market that has essentially plateaued after a long climb, with the typical 4-room flat unchanged year-on-year. These are medians across all towns, so a specific flat varies with the town (mature versus non-mature), the storey and the lease remaining. For the full town-by-town picture, see the HDB market overview.
What are private homes renting for right now?
The median private (non-landed) home rents for $4,300 a month — from $3,300 for a one-bedder to $8,500 for a four-bedder — and prime CCR ($5,700) commands far more than the suburbs ($3,850).
The median non-landed private home rents for $4,300 a month (the middle 50% run from $3,500 to $5,600), based on 87,821 leases over the trailing year. Rent scales with size and location:
| Bedrooms | Median rent | Rent psf | Leases (n) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-bed | $3,300 | $6.36 | 22,223 |
| 2-bed | $4,100 | $5.15 | 31,705 |
| 3-bed | $5,300 | $4.29 | 27,510 |
| 4-bed | $8,500 | $4.54 | 6,071 |
| 5+-bed | $10,800 | $3.95 | 312 |
And by region, prime commands a clear premium:
| Region | Median rent | Rent psf | Leases (n) |
|---|---|---|---|
| CCR (Core Central Region) | $5,700 | $5.85 | 25,610 |
| RCR (Rest of Central Region) | $4,300 | $5.53 | 28,737 |
| OCR (Outside Central Region) | $3,850 | $4.40 | 33,474 |
Note that smaller units generally rent for more per square foot even though the total cheque is smaller — a one-bedder at $6.36 psf against a five-bedder's $3.95. These are transacted rents; for live asking rents, browse the property listings finder.
What were the biggest recent transactions?
In the last 90 days, 95.5% of private resales sold above their purchase price. The biggest gain was $31.2 million (a Morley Road detached house held 30 years); the biggest loss, $24 million.
Among private resales in the last 90 days, 95.5% sold above their purchase price — but the headline deals sit at the extremes. The biggest gain was $31.2 million: a detached house on Morley Road, bought for $7.40m in 1995 and resold for $38.60m in 2026 after 30 years held (+422%). A condo on Anderson Road did even better in percentage terms — bought at $2.91m in 2007, sold at $22.50m (+673%) after 19 years. At the other end, the biggest loss was $24 million, on a Mount Rosie Road property held just five years.
Three caveats keep these honest: the gains are gross — before commission, stamp duties, any Seller's Stamp Duty and interest; the list includes landed homes, whose large quantums naturally top it; and "held" is the ownership period, not time on the market. For the full analysis of who profits and who doesn't, see PropKaki's profitability studies, and slice recent deals yourself in the property transactions finder.
The biggest mistake people make when reading transaction data
Trusting the most recent number. The latest weeks are always under-lodged, a median price hides the unit-size mix, and a headline gain is gross — before the costs that decide your actual return.
The most common error is trusting the most recent number. Property data is noisy in three specific ways, and each has a simple guard:
- The latest weeks are always under-lodged. Private caveats take time to appear, so a recent dip in volume is usually a reporting lag, not a market turn. Guard: compare complete periods.
- A median price hides the unit-size mix. A district's median can jump simply because bigger units happened to sell that month. Guard: read PSF for a like-for-like level, price for the actual cheque.
- A headline gain is gross. The dollar figure on a resale is before commission, duties and interest — the net return is lower. Guard: never quote a gross gain as profit.
Get those three right and transaction data becomes a reliable tool rather than a source of scary — or falsely reassuring — headlines.
Methodology and sources
Where every figure comes from — and what we deliberately did not claim.
Where the figures come from. Private-sale volumes and prices by district are computed over URA sale caveats via PropKaki's pk_area_sale_stats function, over the trailing ~12 months. HDB medians by flat type and the HDB Resale Price Index are HDB's official statistics plus our matched medians over HDB resale caveats (latest completed half-year). Private rents are medians over URA rental contracts (trailing 12 months, non-landed only). The biggest-gain and biggest-loss figures are matched private buy-then-sell pairs resold in the last 90 days. All are read from lodged caveats as of the dates shown in the volume table.
What we have not claimed: a single national private-sale median (private prices span too wide a range to average meaningfully — we show the district spread instead); that the most recent weeks are complete (they under-lodge); that gains are net (they are gross of costs); or that transacted prices are asking prices. Medians are dated snapshots that move with the market and with the mix of units that sold. Data as of 2026 — verify the latest on URA, HDB and data.gov.sg.
