Singapore’s private residential property prices rose 1.4% quarter-on-quarter in the third quarter of 2026, according to flash estimates from the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA). It is the eighth straight quarterly gain for private home prices and the fastest quarterly increase in almost two years.
The Q3 increase accelerated from 0.5% growth in the second quarter and marked the strongest quarterly pace since a 2.3% rise in the fourth quarter of 2024. On a year-to-date basis, private home prices are up 2.8% over the first three quarters of 2026.
The gain was not even across the market. According to Realion (OrangeTee & ETC) Group, landed homes led the increase, with prices up 2.8% in Q3 after a 2.5% rise in Q2. Non-landed home prices rose 0.9%, reversing a 0.1% dip in the previous quarter. Within the non-landed market, prices in the Outside Central Region (OCR) climbed 2.2%, the Rest of Central Region (RCR) edged up 0.2%, and the Core Central Region (CCR) slipped 0.1%.
Realion Chief Researcher and Strategist Christine Sun attributed part of the faster overall price growth to a larger share of private homes changing hands at higher price points. The proportion of private homes (excluding executive condominiums) sold for at least S$2 million rose from 49.2% in Q2 to 53.6% in Q3. Among new sale transactions specifically, the share priced at S$2 million or above jumped from 52.3% to 71.7% over the same period.
For those watching Singapore’s property market from overseas, the data points to where the strongest momentum is concentrated this quarter: landed housing and higher-value new sale transactions, rather than a broad-based rise across every segment — the Core Central Region, often associated with higher-end condominiums, was the one segment to see prices edge down in Q3.
