What URA's and HDB's price indices reported, quarter by quarter

By Realila · URA and HDB releases to 23 Oct 2026

Each quarter, URA publishes a price index for private homes and HDB publishes a price index for resale flats. This page gives what each release reported and links to Realila's note on it. New notes are added here as they are published.

What is on this page

The third quarter of 2026

URA's price index for private homes rose 1.4% in the third quarter of 2026. Landed homes rose 2.9% and non-landed homes (condominiums and apartments) rose 1.0%. Among non-landed homes, prices rose 2.3% in the outside central region (OCR), rose 0.3% in the core central region (CCR) and were unchanged in the rest of central region (RCR).

How the two indices differ

URA's index covers private homes sold in each quarter, both landed homes and non-landed homes (condominiums and apartments), including homes sold at new launches. HDB's index covers HDB flats resold on the open market. Each index is published by its own agency on its own method, so the two indices can move in different directions in the same quarter, as they did in the third quarter of 2026, when URA's rose and HDB's fell.

Realila's own index for condominiums and apartments, the Same Home Price Index, is on the Market Snapshot.

What this page does not tell you

  • Every figure in each release. URA's and HDB's releases carry more figures than these notes use, such as rents and the supply of new homes.
  • What a particular home or flat is worth. Both indices follow prices across many sales.
  • Where prices will go next. Every figure here is a past quarter's.
