Resale private home prices continued to soften in October as new projects lured buyers away from the secondary market. Overall prices of resale private homes fell 1.2 percent last month based on flash estimates of the NUS Singapore Residential Price Index (SRPI). This is in comparison to the 0.9 percent decline seen in September. Prices of resale homes in the central region (excluding small units) dropped 1.4 percent, while those outside the central region dipped one percent last month.  Meanwhile, small units or units with floor areas of 506 sq ft or below saw prices drop by 0.2 percent.   Romesh Navaratnarajah, Senior Editor at PropertyGuru, wrote this story.

The average price is over $1m. Savills' analysis of the caveats lodged from Q1/2012 to Q3/2013 shows that in the new sale segment, home buyers are now favouring smaller private non-landed homes islandwide, with sizes from >60 sq m to 80 sq m. Here's more from Savills: The demand for these types of units has risen for three consecutive quarters from 17.7% in Q4/2012 to 28.2% in Q3/2013, registering almost 1 percentage point more than units sized =60 sq m, which include one-bedroom apartments and "shoe-box" units.
