Flash estimates released today showed that home prices in both the private residential property and HDB resale flat segments rose in Q1 2024, though at varying pace. Overall private home prices grew at a slower clip in Q1 2024 due to the weaker sales volume and the higher base in the prior quarter, while HDB resale flat prices found some renewed strength as healthy demand and more high value transactions put an upward pressure on resale flat prices in Q1 2024. The flash estimates tracked transactions up till mid-March; the final print for the entire quarter will be published on 26 April 2024.
Q1 2024 URA Private Residential Property Index (Flash)
Flash estimates from the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) showed that overall private home prices climbed by 1.5% QOQ in Q1 2024, easing from the 2.8% QOQ increase in the previous quarter (see Table 1). The moderation in prices can be attributed to the relatively listless sales in Q1 amid the festive seasons, and tentative buying sentiment following slower transactions in 2023.
In Q1 2024, several residential projects including an EC development (The Arcady at Boon Keng, Hillhaven, Lentoria, Lentor Mansion, Koon Seng House, Ardor Residence, and Lumina Grand EC) were put on the market in, with no launches in February, in view of the Lunar New Year holidays.
