Excluding small units, home prices in the central region dipped by 0.3 percent last month, worse than the 0.1 percent dip recorded in September.

But the highest month-on-month drop of 0.9 percent was registered by condos in the non-central region, excluding units with an area of 506 sq ft or below, following a 0.3 percent drop a month ago.

On the other hand, prices of the aforementioned small units edged up by 0.3 percent, reversing the 0.3 percent decline in September.

The central region sub-basket comprises properties found in postal districts 1 to 4 as well as 9 to 11. Properties located in the other postal districts fall under the non-central region sub-basket.

The data took into account deals recorded as of 20 November.
