In the second quarter of 2025, HDB resale flat prices saw a modest increase of 0.9% quarter-on-quarter, the lowest growth rate recorded since the second quarter of 2020. This reflects a significant cooling trend in the market, as it marks the third consecutive quarter of slower price appreciation. The previous two quarters had registered more substantial increases of 1.6% and 2.6%, indicating a shift in the dynamics of the HDB resale market.
Despite the deceleration in growth, the increase in prices this quarter is notable as it represents the 21st consecutive quarter of price increases in the resale flat market. This sustained growth trajectory has contributed to an overall rise of 2.5% in resale flat prices since the beginning of 2025. Such persistent upward movement, even at a reduced pace, illustrates the resilience of the HDB resale market amidst changing economic conditions.
Market analysts have pointed to several factors that may be influencing this gradual slowing of price growth. The economic climate, coupled with potential shifts in buyer sentiment, has led to a more cautious approach among prospective homeowners. Additionally, the ongoing adjustments in government policies aimed at stabilizing the housing market may also have an impact on future price movements.
As the market continues to evolve, there are expectations of modest growth for the remainder of the year. The current trend suggests that while prices remain on an upward trajectory, the pace of this increase is likely to be tempered. Such an outlook aligns with broader economic indicators, which reflect a cautious optimism about the housing sector.
The HDB resale flat market has traditionally been a barometer of public sentiment toward homeownership in Singapore, and the recent data points to a potential recalibration of expectations among buyers and sellers alike. With the modest growth in prices, stakeholders will be closely monitoring market conditions, as well as external economic factors that could shape future developments in the housing sector.
In light of the latest figures, the HDB resale market appears to be entering a phase where price increases are not only slower but also more measured. This shift could signal a period of stabilization, providing potential buyers with a more balanced environment in which to make decisions.
The implications of this trend extend beyond immediate price movements, as they may also influence the overall health of the housing market and its accessibility to first-time buyers.
