The April 2026 property data from URA is officially out. If youโve been waiting for the market to cool, the latest data suggests a very different momentum.
Here are theย four key takeawaysย you need to know:
โ

With new launch prices pulling ahead, the โone-size-fits-allโ property strategy may not work anymore. If youโre holding an HDB and thinking about upgrading, or wanting to restructure your portfolio for retirement, asset selection and precise financial planning are more critical than ever.
