Singapore’s Q2 real estate statistics show a more balanced private-home market than the price index alone suggests. URA reported a 0.5 percent quarterly price rise, but vacancy increased to 6.4 percent and resales accounted for 62 percent of transactions.<\/p>\n
There were 3,813 resale transactions in Q2, well above the previous quarter. That means buyers are actively comparing completed homes with launches instead of relying only on developer supply.<\/p>\n
Completed private residential vacancy rose from 6.2 percent to 6.4 percent as occupied stock fell during the quarter. Landlords need to test rent assumptions carefully, especially in buildings facing nearby new completions.<\/p>\n
The government is maintaining high confirmed-list supply, with 9,320 units for 2026. Developers bidding for sites must price future competition from unsold pipeline and cautious mortgage guidance.<\/p>\n
Singapore’s second-half signal is whether resale demand stays strong while vacancy rises. Buyers should compare district rents, completion timing and GLS pipeline before paying launch premiums.<\/p>\n
For Singapore, the practical check is whether this local signal is visible in signed contracts, bank approvals, lease negotiations, registered transfers or completed works. Buyers should compare URA, private homes, resale transactions with recent transaction evidence, title documents, service charges, building condition and realistic exit demand before treating the latest news as a price guarantee.<\/p>\n
