SINGAPORE - Prices of Housing Board resale flats dropped for the third straight quarter, even after a cooling measure imposed on private property downgraders was lifted.

Early estimates published on Oct 1 showed that HDB resale prices fell by 0.2 per cent. Prices dipped 0.1 per cent in the first quarter - the first time in close to seven years - followed by 0.3 per cent in the second quarter.

There were 7,528 transactions in the third quarter of 2026, up 5.2 per cent from 7,157 units in the same period in 2025.

HDB said 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.

“Nonetheless, we will continue to monitor the resale market,” it said.

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

National Development Minister Chee Hong Tat rules were eased because market conditions have improved and HDB resale prices have 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已经取消，但建屋发展局转售组屋的价格仍连续第三个季度下跌。

10月1日公布的初步数据显示，组屋转售价格下跌了0.2%。第一季度价格下跌了0.1%，这是近七年来首次下跌；第二季度价格下跌了0.3%。

2026 年第三季度共有 7,528 笔交易，比 2025 年同期的 7,157 笔交易增长了 5.2%。

建屋发展局表示，自7月28日取消15个月的等待期以来，私人房产降级买家购买转售组屋的价格和数量并未出现显著增长。

“尽管如此，我们仍将继续关注二手车市场，”声明中写道。

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业主购买转售组屋的需求。

国家发展部长徐芳达放宽了相关规定，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，建屋发展局将在勿洛、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。
