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.

New Upper Changi Road GLS Tender Sets New OCR Land Benchmark

The New Upper Changi Road Government Land Sales (GLS) site attracted an exceptionally strong top bid of approximately $1.43 billion, or $1,537 psf ppr, from United Venture Development (Daisy) Pte. Ltd. and CL Sapphire Pte. Ltd., a joint venture between UOL and CapitaLand. The result represents a new record land bid for an Outside Central Region (OCR) residential parcel in recent memory, particularly notable given the site's substantial scale and capital commitment. 

A key factor supporting the tender outcome is the relative scarcity of major new private residential projects around Bedok MRT. Sky Eden@Bedok, comprising 158 units, was launched in 2022 and sold more than 75% of its units during its launch weekend before achieving a complete sell-out by 2024. With no comparable major project launched in the immediate Bedok MRT vicinity since then, the eventual New Upper Changi Road development could tap into a refreshed pool of demand. 

The site is expected to yield approximately 1,010 residential units, placing it firmly within the mega-development category. Its proximity to Bedok MRT station, Bedok Bus Interchange and Bedok Mall, together with the established schools, retail, food and healthcare amenities within the mature Bedok estate, should broaden its appeal to owner-occupiers, investors and particularly HDB upgraders from Bedok and the wider East region. The location map on page 2 further illustrates the site's immediate proximity to Bedok's established transport and amenity network.

NDR 2026 Housing Measures: Broadening Access Across the Housing Journey

The housing measures announced at National Day Rally 2026 represent a timely recalibration of Singapore’s housing framework, with higher income ceilings expanding access to subsidised housing and mortgage support across different stages of the housing journey. The monthly household income ceiling for eligible families will increase from S$14,000 to S$16,000, while the corresponding ceiling for singles will rise from S$7,000 to S$8,000. For applicable future Executive Condominium (EC) projects, the household income ceiling will increase from S$16,000 to S$18,000. 

For ECs, the increase to S$18,000 broadens the potential buyer pool, particularly among dual-income households that have moved beyond the revised HDB ceiling but remain within EC eligibility. However, the market impact will be gradual because the new ceiling applies only to new EC units where the land sale tender closes on or after 24 August 2026.

Overall, the measures represent a wider housing life-cycle recalibration rather than a change focused solely on BTO eligibility. By updating income thresholds across multiple housing programmes, expanding EC accessibility and providing additional ballot chances for first-time families with children from the February 2027 sales exercise, the framework broadens housing options while allowing eligibility parameters to evolve alongside household incomes and circumstances.
