Singapore CCR Luxury Homes See Strong Sales Recovery in 1H2026

Singapore’s luxury residential market in the Core Central Region (CCR) remained resilient during the first half of 2026, although price growth moderated as the market transitioned towards a healthier balance between supply and demand. Based on URA flash estimates, the non-landed private residential price index in the CCR increased by an estimated 2.6% in 1H2026, compared with 3.8% in 1H2025. While capital appreciation eased, the continued increase reflects sustained confidence in Singapore’s prime residential market amid expanding supply and evolving buyer preferences.

A key development during the period was the significant revival in new project launches. Approximately 701 units were launched in the CCR, representing the strongest half-year launch pipeline since 1H2022 and a sharp increase from just 96 units in 1H2025. This recovery was primarily driven by River Modern and Newport Residences, reflecting the gradual rollout of projects from previously awarded Government Land Sales (GLS) sites and providing buyers with a broader selection of luxury homes.

The stronger supply translated into a sharp rebound in new home sales. An estimated 761 new homes were sold in 1H2026, more than tripling the 236 units recorded a year earlier and marking the highest sales volume since 1H2023. River Modern led the market with 424 units sold at a median price of $3,229 psf, while Newport Residences achieved 198 sales at a median price of $3,070 psf. Together, these two projects accounted for about 81.7% of all new CCR home sales, highlighting their significant contribution to market recovery.

Looking ahead, the luxury residential market is expected to remain active in the second half of 2026 with upcoming launches such as Dunearn House, Amberwood at Holland, and The Serra Residences. Supported by a healthy pipeline of new supply, resilient domestic demand, and Singapore’s reputation as a global financial centre and safe-haven destination, the CCR market is expected to maintain stable transaction activity while continuing its transition towards more sustainable long-term growth.

2Q2026 Singapore Property Flash Estimates: Stable Demand & Moderate Prices

Singapore's residential property market continued its transition towards a more balanced and sustainable growth phase in 2Q2026, with both the private residential and HDB resale markets showing signs of moderation driven largely by improving housing supply rather than weakening demand.

According to the flash estimates, private residential property prices increased by 0.5% quarter-on-quarter in 2Q2026, easing from the 0.9% growth recorded in 1Q2026. This brought cumulative price growth for the first half of 2026 to 1.4%, compared with 1.8% during the same period in 2025. The moderation reflects a market returning to a more sustainable trajectory following stronger momentum earlier in the year. Limited new project launches, changes to the Executive Condominium (EC) policy framework, and seasonal factors such as the June school holidays contributed to a slower pace of transactions.

Developers launched an estimated 1,705 private residential units across three projects—Tengah Garden Residences, Vela Bay and Hudson Place Residences—slightly lower than the 1,844 units launched in 1Q2026. Despite the reduced supply, buyer demand remained resilient, with the average launch weekend take-up rate improving from 70.5% to 77.5%. This demonstrates continued demand for well-located and competitively priced developments, particularly among owner-occupiers and HDB upgraders supported by stable employment and healthy household balance sheets.

The HDB resale market also continued to moderate. Flash estimates indicate resale prices declined by 0.3% quarter-on-quarter in 2Q2026 following a slight 0.1% decline in 1Q2026, bringing first-half price growth to -0.4%, compared with a 2.5% increase over the same period in 2025. Rather than indicating market weakness, the slower price movement reflects improving supply conditions through continued Build-to-Order (BTO) launches, a growing number of flats reaching their Minimum Occupation Period (MOP), and expanding resale inventory.

The June 2026 BTO exercise introduced approximately 6,952 flats, including substantial supply in mature estates such as Bishan, Bukit Merah and Ang Mo Kio, providing buyers with more attractive alternatives to the resale market. Increased availability of shorter waiting-time flats has further eased demand pressures on resale housing.

River Valley Green (Parcel C) Draws Top Bid of $1,730 psf ppr

The tender results for the River Valley Green (Parcel C) Government Land Sale (GLS) site reinforce continued developer confidence in Singapore's prime residential market. Sunway MCL and CSC Land Group emerged as the highest bidder with a tender of $750.6 million, translating to $1,730 psf per plot ratio (psf ppr). The site attracted four bids, despite being the fifth GLS site released within the broader River Valley and Zion precinct, highlighting sustained developer interest in securing a presence within one of Singapore's most established residential enclaves.

Much of this optimism is supported by the strong performance of recent residential launches in the River Valley and Zion area. Projects within the precinct have recorded an average launch weekend sales rate of around 79%, with River Modern achieving an impressive 90% take-up during its launch weekend. These healthy absorption rates demonstrate resilient buyer demand and provide developers with greater certainty regarding future sales.

The precinct continues to appeal to buyers due to its combination of excellent connectivity and lifestyle offerings. Located near Great World MRT Station on the Thomson-East Coast Line, the site enjoys convenient access to Orchard Road, Marina Bay and the Central Business District. Residents will also benefit from proximity to Great World City, Robertson Quay, the Singapore River, Kim Seng Park and various dining, retail and recreational amenities, while families are likely to appreciate nearby schools such as River Valley Primary School.

The land parcel is expected to yield approximately 470 residential units, catering to a broad spectrum of buyers including owner-occupiers, HDB upgraders and investors seeking a centrally located development. Despite an increasing pipeline of residential supply within the precinct, the combination of strong locational attributes, robust buyer demand and consistently successful nearby launches is expected to sustain healthy developer interest.
