February 2025 New Launches Drive Strong Developer Sales
Property Insight

Developers sold a total of 1,575 units (excluding ECs) in February, maintaining strong market momentum from January’s 1,083 private residential units transacted. This marks the second consecutive month of robust sales, driven by sustained demand for newly launched projects. The key contributors to February’s performance were Elta and Parktown Residence, the only two new launches, which played a pivotal role in sustaining buyer interest and driving sales.

The Outside Central Region (OCR) was the primary driver of sales, accounting for 92.2% of total private residential units (excluding ECs) sold, significantly surpassing the Rest of Central Region (RCR) at 6.2% and the Core Central Region (CCR) at 1.6%. This highlights the ongoing demand for mass-market homes, particularly in well-connected suburban locations offering attractive price points. The influx of new launches provided fresh options, stimulating activity in this segment.

GLS Supply Pipeline Strengthens Market Resilience

While new home sales transactions remain substantial, they align with market demand, reflecting measured absorption of available supply. With more project launches expected and an increase in Government Land Sales (GLS) sites, the market maintains a steady pace.

Most recent project launches originated from GLS sites, as collective sale activity has moderated. 

Best-Selling Projects in February

The top-selling project was Parktown Residence, which transacted 1,041 units at a median price of $2,363 psf. The strong response is attributed to Tampines' first fully integrated development, which seamlessly blends thoughtfully designed residences with a retail mall, MRT connectivity, and bus interchange access, transforming it into a self-sustaining lifestyle hub.

The second best-selling project was Elta, with 326 units sold at a median price of $2,538 psf. Its success stems from pent-up demand, as it is the first new residential project in the Clementi planning area since 2020.

Market Outlook: Sustained Momentum in 1Q2025

March is expected to sustain market momentum, supported by Aurelle @ Tampines, Lentor Central Residences, and Aurea. These new projects will drive continued buyer interest, reinforcing market resilience.

With the transition into 2Q2025, upcoming launches—including Arina East Residences, Marina View Residences, Artisan 8, and One Marina Gardens—are set to energize the market, providing new opportunities for homebuyers and investors while ensuring stability.

Resilient Landed Market Holds Firm in 1H2025

The landed property market in Singapore remained resilient in the first half of 2025, underpinned by stable prices, consistent transaction activity, and healthy demand from high-net-worth individuals and private property upgraders. According to data from URA Realis, landed property prices rose by 1.1% in 1H2025, with a 0.7% gain in Q2 following a 0.4% increase in Q1. 

Transaction volume climbed modestly to 964 deals in 1H2025, up 6.6% year-on-year from 904 in the same period last year. Although volumes have not yet returned to the peaks of 1H2022, this upward movement reflects renewed confidence in the segment. The uptick was driven by increased demand for semi-detached and terrace houses, with sales rising 21.0% and 2.4% respectively. This highlights a sustained appetite for more spacious and private living environments, especially among multi-generational families and private upgraders.

The revision of the Seller’s Stamp Duty (SSD) is not expected to significantly affect the landed segment, as most owners are long-term holders focused on legacy planning or capital preservation. The high entry price, limited liquidity, and absence of strata titles further deter speculative activity.

Looking ahead, the landed market is poised to remain firm in 2H2025, supported by constrained supply and continued demand for large-format homes. In an uncertain economic landscape, Singapore’s landed properties remain a cornerstone of stability and long-term value.

Sing Holdings–Sunway joint bid leads Chuan Grove tender at $1,376 psf ppr

The recent Government Land Sales (GLS) tender for the Chuan Grove site drew strong interest from developers, with a total of seven bids submitted—marking the highest number of bidders for an Outside Central Region (OCR) site in 2025, second only to the Bayshore Road site with eight bids. Sing Holdings Residential and Sunway Developments submitted the highest bid of $703.6 million, translating to $1,376 per square foot per plot ratio (psf ppr). This edged out the second-highest bid by 7.3%, highlighting their assertive approach to securing this well-positioned parcel.

This site’s appeal stems from its strategic location within the Serangoon planning area—an established and mature residential enclave known for its strong amenities, schools, connectivity, and limited new supply. The Chuan Grove tender price also represents the second-highest OCR land bid in 2025, just behind the Bayshore Road site ($1,388 psf ppr). The enthusiastic turnout and aggressive bidding underscore growing developer confidence in OCR locations with strong locational attributes and buyer demand.

A key factor bolstering interest in Chuan Grove is the successful performance of Chuan Park, a nearby project launched in Q4 2024. Chuan Park achieved an impressive take-up rate of over 83% within less than a year. 

In summary, the Chuan Grove GLS tender exemplifies renewed optimism in OCR development, underpinned by strategic location advantages, successful nearby launches, and supportive infrastructure enhancements. As developers continue to seek value in mature, well-connected estates, the Chuan Grove site represents a timely and compelling addition to Singapore’s new launch pipeline.
