Updated September 2026. Regional labels organise data; they do not determine the value or future performance of an individual home.
Use the official market-segment definitions
URA REALIS defines the Core Central Region as postal districts 9, 10 and 11, Downtown Core and Sentosa. The Rest of Central Region is the remainder of the Central Region, and the Outside Central Region lies beyond it. See the current REALIS data dictionary.
Compare more than the region label
- Tenure, project age and completion status.
- Unit size, floor, layout, view and condition.
- Actual travel time and transport alternatives.
- Nearby supply, employment, schools and amenities.
- Entry quantum, financing and likely future buyer pool.
Read decentralisation as a network change
New employment and mixed-use nodes may alter commute patterns, but the CBD remains one of several important destinations. Remote and hybrid work also vary across industries and employers. Neither decentralisation nor a regional average proves that RCR prices must outperform CCR prices.
Use matched transaction evidence
Compare current URA transactions within each relevant project and unit type, then use regional indices only as background. State the data period, sale type and sample. A household should buy the better-fitting home at a sustainable price rather than select a region from a single macro narrative.
