๐ HDB RESALE PRICES ARE DOWN AGAIN. SHOULD WE BE WORRIED?
For the 3rd quarter in a row, HDB resale prices have dipped.
๐ Q3 2026 Resale Price Index: 202.4
๐ Down 0.2% from Q2
๐ About 0.6% lower over the first 9 months of 2026
But before anyone says โproperty crash!โโฆ look at the bigger picture. ๐
Transactions are still happening.
๐ Around 7,528 resale transactions were recorded as of 29 September, higher than the same period last year.
And remember the 15-month wait-out period for eligible private property owners?
It was removed in July, but HDB says there has not been a significant increase in these buyers entering the resale market.
So what does this mean for ordinary families? ๐ค
๐ If you're an HDB owner:
A slowly cooling market is very different from a crashing market. Don't panic just because prices moved down slightly.
๐ If you're planning to buy:
Less market fever could mean more room to choose and negotiate. But your loan, CPF and monthly cash flow matter just as much as the purchase price. ๐ฐ
๐ If you're thinking long term:
Your home is a real asset that gives your family shelter. ๐ก
But should ALL our future wealth depend on property prices?
Maybe it's also time to understand other real assets โ things like productive land ๐ฑ, agriculture ๐, food ๐ฅฌ, gold ๐ช and silver.
Because when we talk about long term security, housing matters but so do food security, cash flow and diversification.
