New Private Home Sales Rise 19.3% YoY in June 2025

In June 2025, developers sold 272 private residential units (excluding Executive Condominiums), marking a slight moderation from the 312 units transacted in May. This dip was largely anticipated due to the school holiday period, which typically sees a lull in market activity. Moreover, the lack of major new launches during the month—limited to just Arina East Residences and Amber House with a combined 187 units—contributed to the reduced buyer engagement.

Despite the monthly moderation, sales showed a 19.3% year-on-year increase from the 228 units sold in June 2024. The performance underscores the ongoing recovery in the primary market, supported by resilient demand for new homes. Looking forward, developers are preparing for a more robust launch pipeline in the second half of the year, which includes highly anticipated projects such as The Robertson Opus, Promenade Peak, River Green, and LyndenWoods—CapitaLand Development’s debut project at Singapore Science Park, which sold over 94% of its 343 units on launch day.

June’s top-selling project was One Marina Gardens, which continued its strong sales performance with 49 units transacted at a median price of $2,962 psf. Since its April launch, the project has sold more than half its units, reflecting continued demand for well-located luxury homes in the Rest of Central Region (RCR).

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.
