The housing market is showing early signs of price growth moderation amidst the rising economic uncertainty globally, said National Development Minister Desmond Lee. This is after flash estimates released by of Housing and Development Board (HDB) and Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) on Tuesday (April 1) showed slower growth in the price of resale flats and private properties. Resale prices of HDB flats rose by 1.5 per cent in the first quarter of 2025, making it the slowest growth in the last five quarters According to HDB's flash estimates, resale prices increased 1.5 per cent in the first quarter, down from the 2.6 per cent hike in the previous quarter and the average quarterly growth of 2.3 per cent in 2024. On the resale volume in the first quarter of 2025, HDB said that in tandem with slower market conditions, the figure of 6,392 is 7.7 per cent lower than in the same period last year. In a Facebook post on Tuesday (April 1), Lee said that the slow pace of growth can be attributed to the «sustained supply» of Build-To-Order (BTO) flats, as well as the largest-ever Sale of Balance Flats (SBF) exercise in Feb 2025.

Medical professionals say they are concerned that young people may be abusing nitrous oxide to feel intoxicated, with buyers purchasing the gas from dubious sellers. The Straits Times was alerted to the illegal activity by a reader who gave her name only as Ms Pang. She had witnessed the driver of a luxury car unloading canisters at a condominium in the East in February. Ms Pang said the boot was filled with cartons of nitrous oxide, which is commonly used to make whipped cream and merengue. “It was concerning and suspicious because it was on the second day of the Chinese New Year, and all the baking of cakes and cookies would have been done before the new year,” she added. Ms Pang later spoke to the resident who collected the nitrous oxide canisters, and he told her that he gets weekly deliveries to his home to get his fix of laughing gas. On March 29, police arrested the driver of a sports car in Killiney Road for a rash act offence. The 37-year-old man was suspected to be intoxicated with nitrous oxide.
