Resale price momentum expected to cool

Singapore’s HDB resale market is expected to see more modest price growth in 2026, as a larger wave of flat supply enters the market. Analysts point to the increasing number of newly completed BTO projects and a growing pool of young resale flats as key factors that could ease price pressure.

While demand from first-time buyers, upgrader families and permanent residents remains firm, buyers are expected to become more price-sensitive amid higher interest rates and broader economic uncertainties.

Rising supply from BTO completions and MOP flats

• Stronger BTO pipeline: More flats reaching completion after pandemic-related delays.
• New MOP supply: A growing batch of five-year-old flats entering the resale market.
• Upgrader competition: More private homeowners considering resale flats as a value alternative.

What this means for buyers and sellers

Buyers in 2026 may benefit from a wider choice set and potentially slower price acceleration, especially for standard four-room and five-room units. Location, floor level and renovation condition will play an even bigger role in differentiating pricing.

For sellers, realistic pricing and professional marketing will become increasingly important. Well-renovated flats near MRT stations, schools and town centres are likely to continue commanding a premium despite broader moderation.
