Methodology & Sources
Figures below are drawn from all available transaction periods and revised on demand.
Transaction data sourced from URA.
- Averages and medians computed from all available transactions.
- Auto-generated and updated when regenerated. Last updated: 18 Jul 2026.
We report medians (not means) so a single outlier transaction cannot skew district-level figures. PSF = price per square foot.
