SG Property Price
This add-on uses the URA managed Private Residential Property Price Index on Data.gov.sg to provide an indicative price of your property based on overall price movements of property in Singapore (by quarter).
Data for the index are computed using stratified hedonic regression method. It is a general indication based on prices of private properties, office, shop, multiple user factory and warehouse.

How it works
The add-on calls the following API:

It then gets the index value of the most recent quarter.
Both values obtained thus far forms a growth ratio that is then used to arrive at the current price by multiplying the base price with the growth ratio.
