Property Insight

Surge in Property Transactions

The Sentosa property market experienced a notable surge in transactions during the first half of 2024. There were 101 recorded transactions, a 74.1% increase from the 58 transactions in the same period in 2023. This growth was significantly driven by the relaunch of The Residences At W Singapore Sentosa in April, offering attractive price points and spiking interest particularly in the Sentosa Cove area, part of the Core Central Region (CCR). This area is known for its exclusive, prestigious properties that represent a high-end lifestyle and sound investment opportunities.

Price Moderation and Market Health

The median unit prices of condominiums in Sentosa saw a slight moderation in the second quarter of 2024, adjusting from $1,999 psf in Q1 2024 to $1,801 psf in Q2 2024. This adjustment indicates a balanced market and provides potential buyers with more attractive entry points. Sentosa remains a sought-after destination due to its luxurious lifestyle and prestigious properties, making it an appealing investment opportunity even amidst price moderation.

Noteworthy Transactions

Several high-value transactions were recorded in the first half of 2024, underscoring the dynamic nature of Sentosa’s property market:

• The highest transacted property was a detached house on Ocean Drive sold for $16 million ($1,844 psf) in February, yielding a 19.6% profit gain from its purchase price in 2018.

• The Oceanfront @ Sentosa Cove, a 99-year leasehold condominium, saw a transaction at $8.1 million ($1,665 psf), generating a 26.6% profit.

• The revitalized interest in The Residences At W Singapore Sentosa Cove resulted in three separate transactions at $6.1 million each for units on the sixth floor.

These transactions highlight the potential for positive returns on investment and the ongoing demand for high-end properties in Sentosa.

Outlook

Sentosa's property market offers a compelling proposition for both investors and luxury home seekers. Properties in Sentosa are not merely homes but prestigious assets that promise significant returns. The demand for high-quality residences ensures their continued value and appeal to discerning buyers. Sentosa offers a blend of serene coastal living and urban amenities, making it an ideal location for an opulent lifestyle. The immediate occupancy options, as seen with The Residences At W Singapore Sentosa Cove, are particularly attractive to buyers wishing to enjoy their investment benefits without delay.

The Green Collection

A noteworthy addition to Sentosa Cove is The Green Collection, a prestigious residential development located near the Tanjong Golf Course. Key features include:

• Luxury amenities such as gated seclusion, individual rooftop pools, a world-class gym, and an ultra-stylish function room.

• Unobstructed views of the Tanjong Golf Course, one of Sentosa Golf Club's international championship courses.

• Unique design elements like air wells, double-volume height windows, and spacious layouts.

• Architectural excellence with designs by renowned architect Rene Tan, landscape architecture by Shunmyo Masuno, and interior design by Kelly Hoppen.

The Green Collection epitomizes refined luxury, offering a unique living experience that combines sophistication, privacy, and breathtaking natural surroundings.

Conclusion

The first half of 2024 has been a dynamic period for the Sentosa property market, marked by significant growth in transactions and stable median prices. High-profile transactions and the introduction of prestigious developments like The Green Collection affirm Sentosa's status as a premier destination for luxury real estate.

Singapore Landed Property Market Review and Outlook 2026

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.

4Q2025 Flash Estimates Reflect Sustainable Residential Market Momentum

The 4Q2025 flash estimates indicate that Singapore’s residential property market is transitioning into a more sustainable and balanced phase, marked by moderated price growth, resilient underlying demand, and a clearer alignment between supply and buyer absorption. In the private residential segment, prices continued to moderate in 4Q2025, recording a 0.7% quarter on quarter increase, easing from the 0.9% growth seen in 3Q2025. For the full year, private home prices rose by 3.4% in 2025, slightly lower than the 3.9% increase recorded in 2024. 

Non landed new home sales in 2025 continued to be anchored firmly in the mass market price segments. Units priced between $1.0 million and $2.0 million accounted for 44.2% of total transactions, remaining broadly stable compared to 2024. 

Looking ahead, the outlook for the 2026 private residential market remains stable. While transaction volumes may moderate from the exceptionally strong levels seen in 2025, demand is expected to remain resilient. Importantly, the market is not facing a supply shortfall. The confirmed list under the 1H2026 Government Land Sales programme provides a substantial pipeline of new supply, with units about 50% higher than the ten-year average. This deliberate injection of land supply helps mitigate upward price pressures and supports long term market stability. 

In the public housing market, HDB resale prices showed clear signs of stabilization. Prices were unchanged in 4Q2025, and for the full year, resale prices rose by about 2.9%, a sharp moderation from the 9.7% increase in 2024. This reflects improved market balance amid a steady ramp up in BTO supply and a significant expansion in Sale of Balance Flats exercises, which provided buyers with more ready or near ready alternatives.

Overall, both private and public housing markets are entering 2026 on a more sustainable footing, with price growth moderating in line with increased supply and demand remaining structurally supported

Singapore Private Property Market Outlook 2026

The Private Property Market Outlook 2026 highlights a transition from the exceptionally strong momentum seen in 2025 toward a more balanced and sustainable market environment in 2026. In 2025, buyer demand remained resilient despite higher price benchmarks, supported by stabilising interest rates, a fuller launch pipeline and strong domestic participation. Developers adjusted launch pacing more strategically as market visibility improved, while land tender activity strengthened meaningfully across all regions, signalling renewed confidence within the development sector 

Government Land Sales activity showed a clear uplift in 2025. Excluding EC sites, average land bid prices rose across the CCR, RCR and OCR, with the strongest growth recorded in the OCR. 

New private home sales surged in 2025, with 11M2025 transactions already surpassing full year 2024 figures. Total new sales reached 10,624 units in the first 11 months of 2025, representing a 64.2% year on year increase. All market segments recorded stronger sales, led by the OCR, which continued to anchor overall volumes. The CCR recorded the sharpest percentage growth, supported by a return of demand at the higher end of the market and a stronger pipeline of luxury launches.

Mass market projects dominated the list of best selling developments in 2025, reinforcing the depth of demand for well located and competitively priced OCR launches. Large scale developments such as Parktown Residence, Springleaf Residence and Aurelle of Tampines led sales volumes, while RCR and CCR projects also posted solid take up when pricing and location aligned with buyer expectations. This broad based performance underscores buyers continued preference for value alignment rather than speculative positioning.

The resale market also showed resilience in 2025, with total private resale transactions rising by 3.2% year on year. The RCR recorded the strongest resale growth, while OCR volumes remained stable despite competition from a very active primary market. Demand continued to favour relatively newer projects completed between 2018 and 2023, reflecting buyers preference for modern layouts, remaining lease tenure and established liveability.

Local buyers remained the dominant force in the private residential market. Singaporeans accounted for 83.9% of all non landed private transactions in 11M2025, while PR participation moderated slightly. Foreign buying activity remained subdued due to prevailing ABSD measures, with demand largely concentrated in specific market segments.
