The 2026 Context
Why pricing precision matters more this year
The HDB resale price index has dipped for two consecutive quarters (−0.1% in Q1 2026, −0.3% in Q2 2026 — the first back-to-back decline in about seven years), and roughly 13,500 flats reach MOP in 2026, led by Punggol (~3,222) and Tampines (~2,133). Buyers have more choice than they have had in years — which means overpricing by even 3–5% can leave a listing stale while correctly priced neighbours transact.
For private properties, URA's Q2 2026 flash estimate shows prices still edging up (~0.5% QoQ), so condo sellers face a different question: how to capture remaining upside without missing the window before new launch supply absorbs demand.
Either way, the answer starts with evidence. If you are also weighing your next move, these help: how to sell your HDB in 2026, MOP rules explained, and the ABSD remission guide for upgraders.
