Published Date: 02 Oct 2017

The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) released the flash estimate of the price index for private residential property for 3rd Quarter 2017 today.

Overall, the private residential property index increased 0.7 point from 136.6 points in 2nd Quarter 2017 to 137.3 points in 3rd Quarter 2017. This represents an increase of 0.5%, compared with the 0.1% decline in the previous quarter (see Annex A [PDF, 13kb] and Annex B [PDF, 11kb]).

Prices of non-landed private residential properties increased by 0.2% in Core Central Region (CCR), compared to the 0.5% fall in the previous quarter. Prices in the Rest of Central Region (RCR) was unchanged, after registering an increase of 0.6% in the previous quarter. Prices in Outside Central Region (OCR) increased by 0.7%, after registering a 0.3% decline in the previous quarter (see Annex C [PDF, 11kb]).

The flash estimates are compiled based on transaction prices given in contracts submitted for stamp duty payment and data on units sold by developers up till mid-September. The statistics will be updated on 27 October when URA releases its full set of real estate statistics for 3rd Quarter 2017. Past data have shown that the difference between the quarterly price changes indicated by the flash estimate and the actual price changes could be significant when the change is small. The public is advised to interpret the flash estimates with caution.
