Entering Landed Property Arena in 2024
Property Insight

In 2024, Singapore's landed property market is poised to experience continued interest and growth, buoyed by its appeal as a symbol of prestige and the unique architectural diversity it offers. The market witnessed a 4.5% increase in the landed property price index in the last quarter of 2023.This uptrend underscores the robust demand for luxury and exclusivity inherent to landed properties, despite the broader economic challenges.

The year 2023 saw remarkable transactions, including a record sale at Chancery Lane and noteworthy acquisition by Sustained Land at Dyson Road,signaling vibrant markets characterized by high-profile deals and a keen interest in redevelopment opportunities.

Despite the introduction of cooling measures aimed at moderating the property market,landed property sales have shown resilience. Historical patterns suggest that sales volumes typically rebound 1 to 2 years following the implementation of such measures, driven by a combination of cautious optimism among buyers and the enduring allure of landed homes.

In 2023, the segment recorded 1,452 transactions, reflecting sustained interest despite higher Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty (ABSD) rates potentially impacting foreign investment.The stability and perceived security of Singapore's property market continue to attract the ultra-rich, with a particular focus on high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) and new citizens who value the exclusivity and investment potential of landed properties.

Geographically, District 19 emerged as a hotspot with the highest number of transactions in2023, illustrating the diverse appeal of landed properties across Singapore's different districts. The trend of HDB upgraders moving into the landed property segment further exemplifies the aspiration for upscale living, spurred by the increasing number of million-dollar HDB resale transactions.

Good Class Bungalows (GCBs) remain the epitome of luxury living in Singapore, representing the pinnacle of the landed property market. Although transactions within this highly exclusive category saw a decrease in 2023, the market for GCBs is believed to be much more active than reported, given the privacy preferences of buyers and sellers in this elite segment. The ongoing demand for GCBs from HNWIs and new citizens underscores their status as not just luxury homes but as coveted investment opportunities, promising stability and potential appreciation in value.

Looking ahead to 2024, the landed property market is expected to maintain its momentum,with sales volumes projected to range between 1,400 to 1,500 units. This outlook is buoyed by the intrinsic appeal of landed homes as lifestyle investments that offer not only a place of residence but a statement of prosperity and a legacy asset. As Singapore continues to attract global wealth and aspires to maintain its status as a safe haven for property investments, the landed property sector is set to remain a vibrant and integral component of the nation's real estate landscape, offering both challenges and opportunities for buyers, sellers, and investors alike.

Developer Sales for January 2026 Rebound to Strongest Level Since October

Singapore’s private residential market began 2026 on a firm footing, with developer sales staging a decisive rebound from the seasonal moderation observed in December. According to URA data compiled by SRI Research, new home sales excluding Executive Condominiums rose to 466 units in January, up from 197 units in December. When ECs are included, total developer sales climbed to 990 units, compared with 234 units in the preceding month.

January marked the strongest monthly performance since October, reflecting renewed buyer activity supported by a coordinated wave of new launches. A total of 1,534 units were introduced to the market across segments, providing fresh supply and helping to catalyse transactions at the start of the year. The rebound was largely anchored by three key launches: Coastal Cabana in the EC segment, Newport Residences in the Core Central Region, and Narra Residences in the Outside Central Region.

The OCR accounted for the majority of transactions, contributing 71 percent of total developer sales including ECs. This was primarily driven by Coastal Cabana and Narra Residences, both of which cater to owner occupiers and HDB upgraders seeking relatively accessible price points. Coastal Cabana emerged as the top selling project in January, moving 504 units at a median price of $1,790 $psf. The strong take up underscores resilient demand in the EC segment, where buyers continue to view ECs as an attractive pathway into private housing.

Narra Residences recorded 122 units sold at a median price of $2,148 $psf, reflecting sustained demand for well priced OCR projects that offer a balance of affordability and lifestyle appeal. Together, these developments reinforced the role of mass market and EC launches in anchoring overall transaction volumes.

In the CCR, Newport Residences achieved a solid opening performance, with 132 units sold at a median price of $3,070 $psf. As the first CCR launch of the year, its performance signals a gradual stabilisation in prime segment sentiment. Buyers in this segment remain selective and tend to focus on well-located developments with strong connectivity and long term liveability attributes. The RCR contributed 12 percent of January sales, reflecting steady interest in city fringe projects where buyers continue to weigh affordability alongside accessibility.

Overall, January’s performance demonstrates that the market remains responsive to well positioned launches across segments. While transaction volumes may fluctuate month to month due to seasonality, underlying demand fundamentals remain constructive as 2026 progresses.

Budget 2026 Analysis: What It Means for Singapore’s Property Market

Singapore Budget 2026 is delivered against a backdrop of heightened global uncertainty, including geopolitical tensions and financial market fragility. Despite these external headwinds, Singapore’s macroeconomic outlook remains steady, with GDP growth projected at 2% to 4% and inflation expected to moderate to 1% to 2%. These forecasts reflect a stable economic environment that supports business confidence and household resilience. The Budget reinforces Singapore’s long-term strategy of anchoring high value industry clusters, investing in research and innovation, and strengthening structural competitiveness. Together, these measures provide a firm foundation for the property market across residential, industrial and commercial segments.

On the industrial front, the Government’s continued emphasis on anchoring high value industry clusters such as advanced semiconductor packaging, aerospace and biomedical sciences carries direct implications for space demand. These sectors require high specification facilities including cleanrooms, advanced manufacturing space and research laboratories. 

A key highlight of Budget 2026 is the strengthening of One North as Singapore’s AI and innovation nucleus. The development of a larger AI park and the launch of national AI Missions across advanced manufacturing, connectivity, finance and healthcare signal a coordinated push to embed artificial intelligence across core economic sectors. 

Within this evolving ecosystem, the upcoming Hudson Place Residences at Media Circle Parcel A is well positioned to benefit from One North’s continued expansion. Its proximity to research facilities, transport infrastructure, educational institutions and business parks situates it within a live work environment anchored by structural economic transformation rather than short term cyclical drivers.

Finally, Budget 2026 introduces broad based cost of living support across all HDB flat types, including cash payouts, GST Vouchers, MediSave and CPF top ups, CDC Vouchers, U Save rebates and S and CC rebates. These measures cushion household expenses, strengthen balance sheets and reinforce affordability within the housing ecosystem.

Overall, Budget 2026 signals policy continuity, economic resilience and calibrated growth. For the property market, the combination of structural economic transformation, disciplined supply management and household support measures points toward a stable and sustainable trajectory in 2026 and beyond.

What Lies Ahead for Singapore Rental Market in 2026

The Singapore rental property market has entered a more stable and balanced phase heading into 2026, following a period of sharp adjustment in earlier years. Data from 2025 points to a market that remains fundamentally resilient, underpinned by genuine housing demand rather than speculative pressures. Total non-landed rental transactions rose by 3.8% year on year to 84,622 units, reflecting sustained leasing activity even as rental growth moderated and conditions normalised.

Leasing momentum in 2025 was broad based across all market segments. The Core Central Region recorded the strongest growth, with rental transactions increasing by 5.7% to 25,532 units. This reflects a gradual return of depth in the prime rental segment, supported by expatriates, senior professionals, and corporate tenants who continue to prioritise centrality, connectivity, and proximity to employment nodes. 

At the project level, rental demand in 2025 remained concentrated within large scale, well located developments across all regions. In the CCR, projects such as The Sail @ Marina Bay, D’Leedon, and Marina One Residences continued to anchor leasing activity due to their proximity to employment hubs and transport infrastructure. In the RCR, Normanton Park emerged as the top performing project by rental transactions following its recent completion, highlighting strong tenant acceptance for large, amenity rich city fringe developments. In the OCR, rental demand was more evenly distributed across multiple projects, reflecting tenant preferences for affordability and convenience rather than concentration in a single dominant development.

Overall, the rental market in 2026 is likely to be characterised by stability rather than acceleration, supported by steady employment conditions, population stability, and a more balanced supply environment.
