The official update
In its 23 October 2026 release, URA reported a 1.4% quarter-on-quarter increase in the overall private residential property price index for Q3 2026. That compares with 0.5% in Q2. The release also highlights uncertainty around the economic outlook and interest rates.
The BricksBlueprint perspective
An island-wide index is context, not a valuation of the home you want to buy or sell. Our planning takeaway: compare specific properties and your full moving costs before changing your plans in response to a headline.
If you are upgrading
Revisit both sides of the move: the expected sale of your current flat and the budget for your next property. Try different loan amounts and interest-rate scenarios to see how the monthly commitment changes.
If you are rightsizing or buying for the first time
Keep your own priorities in view. Location, a manageable monthly budget, and the practical timing of a move deserve as much attention as a market trend. A Health Check can help organise the questions you want to explore.
