The Landed Property Market 1H2024 Review & Outlook
Property Insight

Stability & Sustained Demand

In the first half of 2024, the landed property market in Singapore experienced a stable yet moderate growth trajectory. The Landed Price Index showed a 1.8% increase in the second quarter, a slight deceleration from the 2.6% growth observed in the first quarter. Overall, landed prices rose by 4.5% in the first half of the year, a slower pace compared to the 7.0% increase during the same period in 2023. This moderation reflects a balanced market with consistent demand, primarily driven by private home upgraders and high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs).

Surge in High-Value Transactions

High-value transactions in the landed property segment saw a notable increase. The number of transactions priced at $10 million and above reached 38 units in 2Q2024, up from 33 units in 1Q2024, marking the highest quarterly total since 1Q2023. This rise indicates strong demand for exclusive and luxurious residences, fueled by limited supply, investment opportunities, and the appeal of prestigious addresses.

Leading Districts and Transaction Volume

District 19 led the landed property transactions with 152 units in 1H2024, followed by Districts 15 and 28, each with 102 units. The total number of landed transactions reached 839 in the first half of 2024, up from 755 in the same period in 2023, reflecting an 11.1% year-on-year growth. The total transaction value also increased by 4.3%, reaching $4.5 billion.

Private Home Upgraders

Private home upgraders significantly contributed to the market's dynamism. In 1H2024, 710 units were purchased by this group, compared to 635 units in 1H2023. This trend was particularly strong in 2Q2024, with 390 units bought, the highest quarterly number since 3Q2022. Factors driving this surge include the desire for larger living spaces and long-term investments.

Good Class Bungalow (GCB) Market

The GCB market continued to attract HNWIs, with at least 10 caveated transactions in 1H2024. The highest transacted GCB was at Ford Avenue, sold for $39.5 million. Despite challenges such as a major money laundering scandal and high-interest rates in 2023, GCBs remained highly coveted. The GCB market's resilience underscores the strong demand for prestigious and exclusive properties, bolstered by economic stability and favourable market conditions.

Outlook for 2024

The outlook for the landed property market in Singapore remains positive for the remainder of 2024. Steady price increases, robust transaction volumes, and strong demand from private home upgraders and HNWIs are expected to sustain market resilience. Buyers' preference for larger and more exclusive residences will continue to drive demand. The market's attractiveness to HNWIs seeking long-term investment opportunities and luxurious living spaces ensures its continued growth. Stable economic conditions are anticipated to further bolster this trend.

The landed property market in Singapore demonstrates a robust and resilient performance in 1H2024, supported by sustained demand from private home upgraders and affluent buyers. This sector's stability and moderate growth underscore its appeal as a prime investment and residential choice in Singapore's real estate landscape.

1H2026 GLS Programme To Deliver a Calibrated and Steady Supply Pipeline

The 1H2026 Government Land Sales programme will introduce 4575 private housing units on the confirmed list, which is 3.2% lower than the 4725 units in 2H2025 and 9.0% below the 5030 units in 1H2025. Despite this moderation, the overall pipeline remains healthy when including the reserve list, resulting in a total of 9185 units, broadly comparable with earlier programmes. The calibrated adjustment reflects the authorities’ intention to pace out land supply following the stronger injections seen from 2024 to 2025, which had helped stabilise market conditions and ease previous tight inventory.

The confirmed list features nine sites across multiple regions. Bayshore Drive is the largest site, capped at 1280 units, positioning it as a future mega development anchoring the transformation of the Bayshore precinct. New Upper Changi Road contributes about 1040 units, reinforcing the Eastern Corridor’s residential pipeline. At the other end of the spectrum, Lorong Puntong is the smallest site with about 140 units, likely taking shape as an exclusive low density project benefiting from strong connectivity via the Thomson East Coast Line.

Two Executive Condominium (EC) sites are included — Sembawang Drive and Canberra Drive — providing a combined supply of about 635 units. ECs have demonstrated strong performance, with 1550 new EC units sold in the first nine months of 2025, surpassing the full year figure of 1227 units in 2024. ECs continue to show investment resilience, supported by their hybrid nature and strong resale outcomes.

Overall, the 1H2026 GLS programme presents a balanced and well timed pipeline across city fringe, suburban, and transformation areas. The moderated confirmed list supply, paired with a still robust total pipeline, supports sustainable market conditions while allowing earlier GLS injections to be absorbed progressively.

Positive EC Market Momentum Builds Confidence Ahead of Coastal Cabana Launch

The Executive Condominium market continued to show firm momentum in the first 10 months of 2025, reinforcing its reputation as one of the most resilient and value driven residential segments in Singapore. SRI Research’s analysis of 67 EC developments recorded 1,625 resale transactions during this period, and more than 97 percent of caveated resales achieved positive gains. This high success rate reflects the EC model’s strength as a pathway for long term capital appreciation, particularly for HDB upgraders seeking private housing at a more accessible entry point. 

Both recently completed and older ECs contributed to profitable outcomes, although newer projects made up the larger share of gains. Around 69.1 percent of profitable transactions came from ECs completed within the last 10 years, signalling sustained demand for developments with modern facilities and longer remaining leases. 

Buyer profiles also highlight the EC market’s broadening reach. Private address buyers made up 53.4 percent of profitable resale transactions, showing increased participation from owners already in the private segment who seek larger formats at comparatively attractive price points. At the same time, 46.6 percent of transactions involved HDB address buyers, indicating that ECs remain a key stepping stone for upgraders entering the private housing market. 

Land bid patterns further reinforce the affordability edge. EC land bids averaged $748 psf ppr in the first ten months of 2025, while OCR private residential land bids averaged $1,114 psf ppr, creating a 49 percent gap. Despite gradually rising EC land prices, the cost structure remains favourable enough for developers to price EC launches below the broader mass market. 

Looking ahead, the upcoming Coastal Cabana EC in Pasir Ris is set to attract considerable interest. With 748 units, lifestyle focused design, strong connectivity through Pasir Ris MRT interchange on the Cross Island Line, and proximity to schools and recreation, the development offers a rare coastal living experience within the EC segment. Supply in the East remains limited, further supporting its outlook.

Allgreen Tops Bedok Rise GLS with Competitive Land Bid

The Bedok Rise Government Land Sales tender drew strong interest from developers, marking one of the most competitive suburban land tenders in recent years. A total of 10 bidders participated, exceeding the 8 bidders seen at the nearby Bayshore Road site and matching the strongest participation levels last recorded at Slim Barracks Rise in 2021 . This reflects the continued appeal of residential plots in the Outside Central Region, a segment that remains the anchor of new home sales across the island.

Bellis Residential Pte Ltd, linked to Allgreen Properties, submitted the top bid at $464.8 million dollars, translating to $1,330 dollars psf ppr. The gap with the second placed bid by Hoi Hup Realty was very narrow at just 0.4 percent, highlighting the close competition among developers. The spread from the highest to the lowest bid reached 18.6 percent, showing a wide range of price expectations for this site .

Following the recent launch of Promenade Peak in the Rest of Central Region, Allgreen appears to be extending its footprint into the suburban market through this acquisition. The Bedok Rise site provides an opportunity to tap into resilient upgrader demand in a location with an established track record of strong sales. The success of Seneca Residence next door reinforces that confidence. Seneca, launched on the earlier Tanah Merah Kechil Link GLS site, achieved a full sellout and had originally attracted 15 bidders for its land tender, a sign of strong interest in this precinct .

The Bedok Rise plot is expected to yield around 380 units and is well supported by transport and amenity offerings. Its location beside Tanah Merah MRT station offers immediate connectivity to the East West Line. Nearby expressways such as the PIE and ECP enhance accessibility to the rest of Singapore. Schools in the area, including Bedok Green Primary School and Bedok View Secondary School, add to its attractiveness for families. Residents will also enjoy proximity to markets, sports facilities, and neighbourhood parks .
