haioPrivate home prices in Singapore rose 0.5% in the second quarter of 2026, half the 0.9% pace of the quarter before. That's URA's flash estimate, out today. The slowdown is the headline. It's also the least interesting part.
Under that one number, the market pulled apart. Landed homes jumped 2.6%. Prime central prices rose 2.0%. Almost everything in between went flat or negative. Transaction volume, meanwhile, held roughly steady, so this is a price-mix story, not a demand collapse.
Where the growth actually went
The gains were stacked at the top. Landed property rose 2.6%, the single biggest mover and a full reversal of the 0.4% dip it posted in the first quarter. Non-landed homes in the core central region, the prime districts in and around the city centre, climbed 2.0%.
Below the top, the picture flips. Non-landed prices overall slipped 0.1%. The city fringe (URA's rest of central region) fell 1.4%, the quarter's weakest segment. The suburbs (the outside central region, where most Singaporeans actually buy) edged down 0.2%.
So the +0.5% headline is really landed and prime doing the lifting while the mass market sat still or drifted down.
