SINGAPORE - Prices of Housing Board resale flats dipped slightly in the third quarter of 2026, even as more units were sold after a cooling measure imposed on private property downgraders was lifted.

Data released by HDB on Oct 23 showed that HDB resale prices fell by 0.1% in the third quarter of 2026. Prices dipped 0.1% in the first quarter – the first time in close to seven years – followed by 0.3% in the second quarter.

There were 7,645 transactions in the third quarter, up 19.5% from 6,396 units in the second quarter. It was also 5.9% higher than the same period in 2025 when 7,221 units were transacted.

HDB said on Oct 23 that it has not seen a significant increase in the prices and number of resale flats purchased by private property downgraders following the lifting of the 15-month wait-out period on July 28.

Introduced in September 2022, the 15-month wait-out period was aimed at curbing demand from cash-rich private home owners looking to buy a resale HDB flat.

When rules were eased, National Development Minister Chee Hong Tat said this was done as because market conditions had improved and HDB resale prices had moderated significantly.

HDB said the macroeconomic outlook remains highly uncertain, and advised households to exercise prudence when purchasing property and taking out mortgage loans.

“The Government will continue to monitor the property market closely and adjust its policies as necessary to promote a stable and sustainable property market,” it added.

In November, HDB will roll out about 7,960 flats in Bedok, Geylang, Sembawang, Tengah, Toa Payoh and Yishun.

Assisted living flats, also known as community care apartments, will also be offered in Toa Payoh. These flats come with senior-friendly fittings, such as wheelchair-accessible bathrooms, and other health and community services.

新加坡——尽管针对私人房产降级者的降温措施解除后，售出的房屋单位数量有所增加，但2026年第三季度组屋转售价格仍略有下降。

建屋发展局 (HDB) 于 10 月 23 日公布的数据显示，2026 年第三季度组屋转售价格下跌 0.1%。第一季度价格下跌 0.1%——这是近七年来首次下跌——第二季度价格下跌 0.3%。

第三季度共成交7645笔交易，较第二季度的6396笔增长19.5%。同时，也比2025年同期（成交7221笔）增长5.9%。

建屋发展局 (HDB) 于 10 月 23 日表示，自 7 月 28 日取消 15 个月的等待期以来，私人房产降级者购买转售组屋的价格和数量并未出现显著增长。

这项于 2022 年 9 月推出的 15 个月等待期旨在抑制资金充裕的私人住宅业主购买转售组屋的需求。

国家发展部长徐芳达在放宽限制时表示，这是因为市场状况有所改善，组屋转售价格已大幅回落。

建屋发展局表示，宏观经济前景仍然高度不确定，并建议家庭在购买房产和申请抵押贷款时要谨慎行事。

“政府将继续密切关注房地产市场，并根据需要调整政策，以促进房地产市场的稳定和可持续发展。”声明补充道。

11月，建屋局将在勿洛、芽笼、三巴旺、登雅、大巴窑和义顺推出约7,960套公寓。

大巴窑还将提供辅助生活公寓，也称为社区护理公寓。这些公寓配备了适合老年人的设施，例如无障碍浴室，以及其他健康和社区服务。
