DISTRICT 8 TRENDS & INSIGHTS
District 8 covers Little India, Farrer Park, Jalan Besar and parts of Serangoon Road. These areas fall within postal sectors 20 and 21. This is one of Singapore’s most culturally vibrant districts, where pre-war shophouses still dominate the streetscape. It retains the grit and authenticity that some other districts have lost.
Here, you’ll find a data-driven look at what’s truly happening on the ground: secondary sales activity (resale private condos), standout condos, profitable transactions, and the pricing trends behind them.
