Singapore’s private residential property market saw a modest pickup in momentum in the first quarter of 2026, with the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) Property Price Index rising 0.90% quarter-over-quarter. This marks an acceleration from the previous quarter’s 0.60% increase, indicating a strengthening pace of price growth in the city-state’s housing market.
Both the previous and current readings relate to the first quarter of 2026, with the earlier 0.60% figure reflecting the change from the quarter before, and the latest 0.90% showing the change for the current quarter versus the preceding one. The data, updated as of 24 April 2026, highlight that quarterly gains are widening, suggesting buyers and investors are still willing to pay higher prices despite a backdrop of tighter policy and macroeconomic uncertainty.
Market participants will be watching subsequent quarters closely to see whether this faster quarter-on-quarter growth proves to be the start of a sustained uptrend or a short-lived acceleration in an otherwise moderating cycle. For now, the URA figures confirm that price pressures in Singapore’s residential sector remain very much intact.
