Separately, prices of private residential properties fell for the eighth consecutive quarter by 1.3% QoQ in 3Q2015 (see Figure 2a). This was steeper than the 0.9% decline in previous quarter. Prices of non-landed homes fell in all market segments. Those in Outside Central Region or mass market segment fell the most by 1.6% in 3Q2015, more than the 1.1% seen in 2Q2015.
