The average HDB resale price picked up slightly in March 2024, following a dip in February where the Lunar New Year holidays and the HDB’s build-to-order (BTO) sales exercise likely affected market activity. The price growth in March came despite a slight easing in the HDB resale volume.
Transaction data showed that HDB resale volume dipped by 3.2% month-on-month to 2,061 units in March from 2,130 units in the previous month (see Chart 1). When compared with March 2023, the resale volume was up down by 9.5%. In spite of the softer sales, the average resale price rose by 1.8% month-on-month to more than $596,000. On a year-on-year basis, the overall HDB average resale price was up by 5.2% from March 2023.
With private home prices likely to find more stability this year, PropNex anticipates that it could encourage some HDB flat owners to consider upgrading to a private property. Some of these would-be upgraders may contemplate selling their flat first before purchasing the replacement private home to avoid having to pay the hefty additional buyer’s stamp duty (ABSD) upfront.
