Early estimates indicate that HDB resale prices decline for the second consecutive quarter in 2026. The Straits Times reports that prices fall by 0.3% in the second quarter, following a continued downward trend. Channel NewsAsia likewise says HDB resale prices drop for the second straight quarter, characterising the market as sluggish. Both reports point to softer demand conditions as a key contributor. CNA notes that analysts link the weakness in the HDB resale market to a weaker hiring outlook, which can reduce employment confidence and affect housing demand. At the same time, CNA reports that private home prices edge up by 0.5% in the same period, suggesting differing movements between the resale public and private segments. Overall, the available reports describe a housing market where HDB resale prices are slightly lower quarter-on-quarter, while private home prices show a modest increase.
