Methodology & Sources

This report is compiled from transaction data published by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) via the REALIS system. Median values are used throughout to minimise the impact of outliers from exceptionally high or low transactions. Month-on-month (MoM) and year-on-year (YoY) changes compare like-for-like periods.

Gross rental yield is calculated as (median monthly rent × 12) / median transaction price. Market segment classifications follow URA definitions: CCR (Core Central Region), RCR (Rest of Central Region), and OCR (Outside Central Region). Interest rate references use the Singapore Overnight Rate Average (SORA) published by MAS. Stamp duty rates reference IRAS BSD and ABSD schedules.
