Published
On 1 October 2026, URA published its flash estimate for the third quarter. Its private residential price index rose 1.4% on the previous quarter, compared with 0.5% in 2Q2026. Headlines like that invite big conclusions, and anyone following Impressions @ Dairy Farm will have seen a few, so here are four common myths and the facts that set them straight.
Myth: a flash estimate is the final word on Impressions @ Dairy Farm
Fact: it is built from partial-quarter data and may differ from the final numbers. URA is due to release the full 3Q statistics on 23 October 2026, and that is the version to rely on. Until then, treat every flash number as provisional and avoid building a plan around a decimal point.
Myth: one number describes the whole market around Impressions @ Dairy Farm
Fact: the 1.4% is an overall figure that blends several segments. Non-landed homes rose 0.9% (against -0.1% in 2Q), while landed homes rose 2.8% (against 2.5%). Inside non-landed, the Core Central Region slipped 0.1% after rising 1.8% in 2Q, the Rest of Central Region gained 0.2% after falling 1.2%, and the Outside Central Region advanced 2.2% after a 0.1% dip.
Myth: a good quarter is a trend for Impressions @ Dairy Farm
Fact: a single quarter is one data point. The region figures above swung in both directions between 2Q and 3Q, which is a reminder that quarter-on-quarter readings move around. Reading several quarters in sequence, once final figures are published, gives a steadier picture than any one release.
Myth: the index tells you what a home at Impressions @ Dairy Farm will do
Fact: an index tracks the market in aggregate. It says nothing about the price movement of any individual project or unit, and it offers no forecast. Location, tenure, size, floor level and timing all shape the price of a particular home, and none of them can be read off a regional percentage.
For a buyer looking at Impressions @ Dairy Farm, the useful questions are closer to the ground. The condominium sits on a Government Land Sales parcel at Dairy Farm Walk, District 23, at the edge of Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, with Hillview MRT about 800 m away. It is a 99-year leasehold of roughly 480 homes, still at the pre-launch stage. The location page on this site covers the surrounding area in more detail.
The facts above are deliberately limited to what URA and the project's own pages state. Where something is not published, it is better left open than filled with a guess. Before any decision, speak with a licensed professional about financing and your own limits. Treat the flash figure as a snapshot, wait for the full release, and weigh it alongside your own finances and timeline. To talk through a purchase plan, reach out to the Sales Concierge here.
