The HDB Resale market seems to have slowed down ALOT this year. It’s not uncommon to hear sellers lament that their flats have been on the market for many months without any buyers coming to view or offer - especially for the older flats or flats with unfavourable attributes (e.g. low floor, far from MRT, etc.).

While recent policy changes - most notably, the removal of the 15-month wait out period for downgraders - may bring about some reprieve, the effects are likely to only be short-term. Without any unusual shocks to the market equilibrium of supply and demand, we could legit be in for a long-term HDB resale market price correction.

Keppel condos (Reflections, Caribbean, Corals, Reef) have been lagging behind in price growth the past few years.

Could this finally give them an uplift in value?

A $1515psfppr will likely translate into launch pricing close to or exceeding $3000psf - and really, there’s good reason for that!

The waterfront area there is still highly exclusive and one of a kind in Singapore’s landscape.

Long overdue!

The 15-month wait-out period for private property owners buying HDB resale flats has been lifted with immediate effect. Read more at straitstimes.com. Read more at straitstimes.com.

This is a good read.

TLDR: the future of enbloc sales will likely see more realistic prices that accurately match the value of the land, rather than for sellers to quote their dream price and assume developers will bite.

A rebound in collective sales will hinge on more realistic pricing and compelling redevelopment opportunities. Read more at straitstimes.com. Read more at straitstimes.com.

One of the better pieces published in ST recently.
Assesses the current market situation quite accurately and points out a lot of real outcomes.

“The days when every property appreciated rapidly may be giving way to a market where the right property still performs well… while weaker assets no longer rise with the tide”

HDB Resale Prices - let's talk briefly about this.

So, the ground sentiment is that the HDB market has been "very quiet" over the past few months.

The numbers show it. Resale transactions have been declining steadily since the peak of 2021.

WHY? Buyer demand has possibly been shifting back towards BTO flats (after the 2020 covid-induced rush to buy resale as BTO delays happened).

Waiting times are now also shorter and quite a few 'attractive' projects have been or are due to be launched.

2026 will also see double 2025's number of flats reaching MOP.

All in all, supply surge against weakening demand.

So what does this mean for the HDB resale market?

HDB values aren't the same as their private property counterparts. They are very much supply-demand driven. AND, there isn't any real exit strategy as lease decays (e.g. enbloc for condos).

When sellers can't get buyers, their only way forward will likely be to lower their asking prices.

What do you think will happen to HDB resale prices as this year draws on?
