Frequently asked questions
What is the PropKaki Singapore Landed Property Tracker?
The PropKaki Singapore Landed Property Tracker is a free dashboard on propkaki.sg that follows Singapore's landed housing market — terrace houses, semi-detached houses and detached houses — using official Urban Redevelopment Authority statistics. It carries the URA landed price index with history from 1975, the landed rental index, landed housing stock and vacancy from 1988, plus quarterly transaction counts and median per-square-foot prices for each landed type computed from URA caveat records.
Where does the tracker's data come from?
Every underlying figure comes from the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA). The price and rental indices and the stock and vacancy series are ingested automatically from URA's official datasets on data.gov.sg. The transaction counts and median PSF figures are computed by PropKaki from individual caveats lodged with the Singapore Land Registry, as published through URA's data service. PropKaki computes the vacancy rate and 20-year-range verdicts and adds no estimates of its own.
How often is the tracker updated?
URA publishes its quarterly real estate statistics on the fourth Friday of January, April, July and October. The PropKaki tracker re-ingests the official datasets automatically every week — caveat-based figures refresh continuously as new caveats are lodged — and every metric on the page displays the quarter it refers to.
What counts as landed property in Singapore?
Landed property in Singapore covers homes where the owner holds a direct interest in the land: terrace houses (including shophouse-style intermediate and corner terraces), semi-detached houses, and detached houses, commonly called bungalows — including Good Class Bungalows. Strata landed homes within approved condominium developments are counted under URA's landed statistics where the caveat records a landed property type. HDB flats, condominiums and apartments are not landed property.
What does the URA landed price index measure?
The URA landed property price index tracks how transacted prices of landed homes in Singapore change over time, compiled from caveats lodged with the Singapore Land Registry and based at 100 in the first quarter of 2009. The series reaches back to 1975, long enough to cover every Singapore property cycle on record.
How many landed homes are there in Singapore?
The tracker publishes Singapore's total landed housing stock each quarter from URA's completed-stock survey, with history back to 1988. The current stock figure and the number of vacant landed homes, each stamped with the quarter they refer to, appear in the stock and vacancy section of this page. Landed stock grows slowly because little new landed land is released, which is a structural reason landed homes hold scarcity value.
What is the median PSF for a terrace, semi-detached or detached house?
The tracker computes the median per-square-foot price for each landed type every quarter from all caveats lodged in that quarter — terrace, semi-detached and detached houses are reported separately, alongside an all-landed median. PSF is computed on land area as recorded in the caveat, which is the standard basis for landed transactions. The current figures appear in the median PSF section of this page.
Why do landed PSF figures look low compared with condominiums?
Landed PSF is computed on land area, while condominium PSF is computed on strata floor area, so the two are not directly comparable. A landed home's land area includes gardens, driveways and setbacks, which makes its per-square-foot price look lower even when the total price is far higher. Compare landed homes with other landed homes, and condominiums with condominiums.
Is the PropKaki Singapore Landed Property Tracker free?
Yes. The tracker is completely free on propkaki.sg — there is no paywall, no account requirement and no locked deeper tier. PropKaki is operated by Straits Intelligence Pte. Ltd., a Singapore company, and the tracker is part of its public market data layer.
