(Bandar Seri Begawan, 30th) Brunei Darussalam Central Bank (BDCB) has released the Residential Property Price Index (RPPI) for the first quarter of 2026.
This index is compiled based on data from Brunei's various banks and is published in collaboration with the Ministry of Development (especially the Authority for Building Control and Construction Industry (ABCi)). The RPPI measures the rate of change in prices of private residential properties purchased by residents over time.
In the first quarter of 2026, the private residential property price index (RPPI) was 99.2, representing a year-on-year growth of 13% compared to the first quarter of 2025, and an increase of 6.4% compared to the fourth quarter of 2025.
Based on loan/financing data obtained from banks, a total of 88 private residential property purchase transactions were recorded in the first quarter of 2026.
This is a decrease of 31.3% compared to the fourth quarter of 2025, and a decline of 14.6% compared to the first quarter of 2025. In the first quarter of 2026, most of these transactions were for detached houses (59.1%), followed by terrace houses (20.5%), semi-detached houses (18.2%), and apartments (2.3%). There were no reported financing transactions for land purchases this quarter.
In the first quarter of 2026, the median purchase price across all types of private residential properties was 259,000 BND. This is an increase of 3.8% compared to the fourth quarter of 2025, and an increase of 17.7% compared to the first quarter of 2025. Specifically, the median purchase price for detached houses was 262,750 BND, semi-detached houses 281,500 BND, terrace houses 225,500 BND, and apartments 236,450 BND.
When calculating the Residential Property Price Index (RPPI), the median price is usually used, as it is more stable than the average price and less affected by abnormal price fluctuations.
In terms of location, private property transactions in the first quarter of 2026 were mainly concentrated in Brunei-Muara District (a total of 72 properties), followed by Tutong District (10 properties), and Belait District (6 properties).
The five administrative areas (Mukim) with the highest transaction volumes this quarter were Mukim Sengkurong, Mukim Kilanas, Mukim Gadong, Mukim Lumapas, Mukim Liang, and Mukim Berakas B.
Brunei Darussalam Central Bank reminds you that the published indices and statistics are for reference only.
The public should not rely on these indices and statistics to assess any property, as the value of private residences may vary due to location, land area, building area, and other relevant factors.
