Analysis · opinion

James's interpretation

District 9 recorded 196 sales in Q3 2026 (close to Q2 2026), 177 of them resales. That is a useful run of recent prices for buyers to compare against, and fresh evidence for sellers to price against.

One choice buyers weigh here is between a freehold home (or one on a lease of 900 years or more) and a 99-year lease from 2000 to 2014. In Q3 2026 the first had a median of $2,366 per sq ft across 82 developments, the second $2,072 across 9 developments, about $294 per sq ft apart. Size, floor and the development itself move a price within each group, so I compare a home with its own group first.

River Modern sold 7 homes in the quarter at a median of $3,581 per sq ft. If you are deciding between a new launch and a resale home in District 9, set that beside the resale groups above and weigh the lease, the size and when you can move in.

Martin Modern and Sophia Hills had the most sales, 8 each in the quarter. If you own in either, buyers have been active and the evidence for your price is recent.

Tell me your budget, what you need in a home and when you plan to move. I'll help you compare the options that fit in District 9.

Every buyer's situation is different. For any risk that applies to you, speak to me.

What it may mean for buyers

District 9's resales this quarter fall into four tenure and lease groups with enough sales to compare. Compare a home with the group it belongs to, by tenure and lease era, size and floor, rather than with a district-wide figure.

Developers were selling in the quarter, so a buyer can set new launches beside resale homes in the same district and weigh the lease and the timing of each.

Every development's own sales are on this site's Property Research page, for example Martin Modern, Sophia Hills and OUE Twin Peaks.

What it may mean for sellers and owners

177 resales in the quarter give sellers in District 9 recent evidence to price against. The closest evidence is a sale in the same development, of a similar size and floor, in the last few months.

Pricing starts from the group a home belongs to and then the home itself: its size, floor, condition and facing.

Limitations

URA's records cover only sales with a caveat lodged, and the latest months are incomplete: Q3 2026 will gain sales as more caveats are lodged.

The records give a home's size, floor range, tenure and price, not its condition, facing, layout or renovation. A group's median depends on which homes happened to sell.

Freehold developments carry no lease start year in the records, so their age is not known from this data. A 99-year development's lease start year is not its completion year.

Records identical in every field are counted as separate sales, because the records do not identify the home sold, so two like sales cannot be told from one sale entered twice.

Methodology

The figures are calculated from URA's records of caveated sales in postal district 9, read through URA's Data Service on 4 November 2026. The quarters compared are Q3 2026 (July to September), Q2 2026 and Q3 2025.

Included: single-unit sales of apartments and condominiums with a strata floor area. Left out: 16 sales of landed and strata-landed houses and 1 caveat covering more than one unit or without a strata area, over the five years of records.

Each development is grouped by tenure and, for 99-year developments, by the year its lease began. Leases of 900 years or more (999 years for most, with some of 929 to 998 years and a few of 9,999 years) are grouped with freehold. Executive condominiums are grouped apart from private condominiums and apartments. Where a record of a 99-year sale gives no start year, the year is taken from the development's other records.

Floor area is converted at 10.7639 square feet to the square metre. Medians and quartiles are taken across the sales in each group, with quartiles by linear interpolation. A group with fewer than five sales is marked low sample. Prices of $1M and over are rounded to the nearest $10,000, lower prices to the nearest $1,000.

A district with fewer than 20 resales in Q3 2026 uses the 12 months to September 2026 for its price table.

Developments that URA lists under two postal districts cannot be placed in one and are left out of every district. Among apartments and condominiums these are Eastern Lagoon (Districts 15 and 16, 36 sales over five years) and one sale at Frankel Estate (Districts 14 and 15); the others are landed estates.

New sale, sub sale and resale
URA's types of sale. A new sale is a sale by the developer, and a sub sale a sale by a purchaser, before the Certificate of Statutory Completion and the strata titles have been issued for all units in the development. A resale is a sale after they have been issued.
Caveat
A notice lodged with the Singapore Land Authority, usually by the buyer's lawyer, after an option is exercised or an agreement signed. URA's records are of caveats lodged.
Postal district
One of 28 areas defined by the first two digits of the postal code. District boundaries are not the same as HDB towns or URA planning areas.
Tenure and lease era
Freehold developments and those on leases of 900 years or more, most of them 999-year, are grouped together. A 99-year development is grouped by the year its lease began, which is not the year the homes were completed.
Middle half
The range that the middle half of sales fall in: a quarter of sales were below it and a quarter above.
Low sample
Fewer than five sales in a group. No median is shown.
