  "account": "Singapore's Housing and Development Board (HDB) resale market witnessed a record high of 209 million-dollar flat sales in September 2026, comprising 9.3 percent of the total resale volume. This surge in high-end transactions came as overall sales slowed, down 10.9 percent month-over-month.
