Singapore HDB resale prices up 2.8% in Q2

The median resale price in matured estates rose 6.9%.

HDB resale prices rose at a faster pace by 2.8 per cent last quarter when compared to the 2.4 per cent quarter-on-quarter increase in Q1 2022, according to the public housing data from HDB. On a year-to-date basis, prices have risen by 5.3 per cent. On a year-on-year basis, prices climbed by 12.0 per cent. 

According to OrangeTee, the continual price growth did not come as a surprise since property values across most market segments have appreciated in recent months. As a rising tide lifts all boats, it is within the expectation that HDB resale prices will climb in tandem with the other asset classes. 

Here’s more from OrangeTee:

Buyers’ confidence improved substantially since our economy has recovered much faster than other countries. Moreover, the public housing market is usually less susceptible to macroeconomic uncertainties. Key drivers like our high employment rate and healthy income growth have kept the market stable since most homeowners are able to service their home loans.
