The Core Central Region (CCR) covers postal districts 9, 10 and 11, the Downtown Core and Sentosa; the Rest of Central Region (RCR) is the rest of the Central Region; and the Outside Central Region (OCR) covers the East, North East, North and West regions.

How the market segments work
URA splits non-landed private homes into three segments so that price and rental trends in very different parts of Singapore can be tracked separately.
| Segment | Area |
|---|---|
| Core Central Region (CCR) | Postal districts 9, 10, 11, the Downtown Core Planning Area and Sentosa |
| Rest of Central Region (RCR) | The Central Region outside the CCR |
| Outside Central Region (OCR) | The East, North East, North and West Planning Regions |
Latest price changes
Non-landed private home prices, 3rd quarter 2026, from URA’s release of 23 October 2026:
| Segment | Change on the previous quarter |
|---|---|
| CCR | +0.3% |
| RCR | 0.0% |
| OCR | +2.3% |
| All non-landed homes | +1.0% |
Example
You are comparing a condo in District 10 with one in Punggol. District 10 is in the CCR, so its price is tracked against CCR trends; Punggol is in the North East Planning Region, so it falls in the OCR. In the 3rd quarter of 2026, OCR non-landed prices rose 2.3%, while CCR prices rose 0.3%.
Common mistakes
- Assuming segments follow MRT lines or towns. They follow URA’s postal district and planning area boundaries.
- Comparing segment averages across very different homes. Unit size, age and tenure vary within each segment. Compare PSF for similar homes.
- Using the segments for landed homes. URA reports landed prices separately.
