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.

RCR Demand Drives 43.3% Growth in New Home Sales in May 2026

Singapore's new home market moderated in May 2026, with developers selling 447 new private homes excluding Executive Condominiums (ECs), down from the 1,548 units transacted in April. 

Despite the monthly moderation, market performance remained encouraging on a year on year basis. New home sales increased by 43.3% from the 312 units sold in May 2025 to 447 units in May 2026. The improvement was primarily driven by stronger activity in the Rest of Central Region (RCR), where sales rose from 191 units to 334 units over the same period. The strong showing highlights continued demand for city fringe developments that offer a balance between accessibility, lifestyle amenities and relative affordability. The year on year growth also suggests that buyer confidence remains intact, with purchasers continuing to participate actively in the market despite a more measured operating environment.

Hudson Place Residences emerged as the standout performer of the month. As the only major launch in May, the project accounted for nearly half of all new private home sales, moving 209 units at a median price of $2,465 psf. The strong response demonstrates that buyers remain receptive to projects that are well located, well connected and competitively positioned within their respective market segments.

Looking ahead, new home sales are expected to remain relatively subdued in June due to the seasonal impact of the mid year school holidays and the limited number of major launches scheduled during the month. However, this is likely to be temporary. Market activity is expected to regain momentum in the second half of 2026 as a fresh pipeline of launches enters the market. Upcoming projects such as Lentor Gardens Residences and Dunearn House are expected to attract healthy interest, while buyers who have remained on the sidelines may return as more options become available. Barring any significant external shocks, the primary residential market is expected to remain on stable footing, supported by resilient underlying demand and a steady pipeline of new launches.

Peck Hay Road GLS Draws Top Bid of $1,865 psf ppr from CDL and Hong Leong Group

Peck Hay Road Government Land Sales GLS site attracted four bids at the close of its tender on 11 June 2026, with the highest offer submitted by CDL Constellation Pte. Ltd. and Garden Estates (Pte.) Limited (Hong Leong Group) at $542.4 million, translating to a land rate of $1,865 psf per plot ratio (psf ppr). The winning bid reflects strong confidence in the long term prospects of the Newton area despite a relatively lower number of participants compared to the neighbouring Bukit Timah Road GLS site, which attracted eight bids earlier this year. 

Despite fewer bidders, bidding intensity remained healthy. The top bid exceeded the $1,820 psf ppr achieved for the nearby Bukit Timah Road site awarded earlier this year, highlighting continued confidence in well located Core Central Region developments. This suggests that developers remain willing to compete aggressively for prime sites with strong fundamentals, particularly those located within established residential districts and supported by future transformation plans. 

The Peck Hay Road site enjoys several locational advantages. Situated within the Newton Planning Area, the site is expected to yield approximately 315 residential units and is located near Newton MRT Interchange, providing direct access to both the North South Line and Downtown Line. Residents will benefit from excellent connectivity, including being just one MRT stop from Orchard Road and only minutes away from the Central Business District. These attributes enhance the site's appeal among owner occupiers, investors and affluent homebuyers seeking a central location.

Higher GLS Supply in 2H2026 Supports Long Term Residential Market Growth

The Government has announced the 2H2026 Government Land Sales (GLS) Programme, which will introduce 4,745 private residential units under the Confirmed List, representing a 3.7% increase from the 4,575 units released in 1H2026. The latest programme reflects the Government's continued commitment towards maintaining market stability through proactive land supply management. By ensuring a steady pipeline of future housing supply, the authorities provide greater visibility to both developers and homebuyers while supporting a more balanced and sustainable residential market.

A notable feature of the 2H2026 GLS Programme is the concentration of supply within several large development parcels. The Town Hall Link White Site alone is expected to yield approximately 1,200 residential units, accounting for about a quarter of the total Confirmed List supply. Together with the Jurong East Avenue 1 Executive Condominium (EC) site, Berlayer Close and Holland Plain, these larger sites contribute a substantial portion of the overall housing pipeline. This suggests that the Government is prioritising land parcels capable of delivering significant housing stock in key growth locations.

The programme also demonstrates a strong emphasis on transit-oriented development. Many of the sites are located near existing or future MRT stations, including Orchard Boulevard, Marina Gardens Lane, Tanjong Rhu Close, Berlayer Close and Town Hall Link. This reflects the Government's ongoing efforts to concentrate housing supply in highly accessible locations where residents can benefit from established transport infrastructure and amenities.

Overall, the 2H2026 GLS Programme reflects a coordinated approach towards meeting future housing demand while advancing broader planning priorities such as decentralisation, connectivity and urban transformation. With sites spread across the Core Central Region, Rest of Central Region and Outside Central Region, the programme offers a diverse range of housing opportunities while supporting long term market stability and sustainable growth.
