- In recent years, prices have been fluctuating for Core Central Region Properties.
- For OCR and RCR, mild growth averaging about 1% QoQ since 2019, with a spike for RCR in late 2020/early 2021 likely due to high PSF Central Area projects.
- Significantly, HDB prices spiked the most since 2H2020, with 2021 being the year with most number of resale flats crossing $1M.
