The landed housing market recorded a clear recovery in 2025, following a more cautious environment in 2024. The landed property price index rose by 7.7% in 2025, a notable improvement from the 0.9% increase recorded a year earlier. This reflects a gradual return of confidence in the landed segment, supported by stronger demand for larger landed homes and a pickup in higher value transactions.
Transaction activity also recovered steadily over the year. Total landed transactions increased from 1,938 units in 2024 to about 2,070 units in 2025, representing a 6.8% year on year increase. In value terms, total transacted value rose more sharply from $10.33 billion to $12.31 billion, an increase of 19.3%. The faster growth in value relative to volume points to a higher concentration of big ticket transactions, particularly at the upper end of the market.
Detached and semi-detached houses recorded the strongest momentum within the landed segment. Detached house transactions rose by 15.6% year on year, while semi-detached house transactions increased by 16.6%. Buyers in this segment are typically driven by long term housing needs, legacy planning, and land considerations, and are generally less sensitive to short term interest rate movements or policy adjustments. This helped anchor demand for larger landed formats even as broader market conditions remained calibrated.
Looking ahead to 2026, the landed housing market is expected to remain resilient, supported by sustained demand from well capitalised buyers and a continued preference for larger landed formats. Demand is expected to be driven primarily by private homeowners upgrading within the private residential segment, as well as high net worth buyers seeking long term wealth preservation and legacy assets. Limited availability of redevelopment plots is expected to keep prices firm, particularly for homes with larger land areas and redevelopment potential.
The upcoming launches of boutique freehold landed projects such as Vila Naga in Bukit Timah and Vila Natura in Lentor. Overall, the landed housing market in 2026 is expected to remain supported by steady demand, selective buying conditions, and continued interest in quality landed assets as a long-term component of Singapore’s residential market.
