Investment sales jump by over 35% to $26.61b in 2024: Savills

This growth was observed across all asset classes, with increases ranging from 12.1% to 133.1%

The total investment sales volume in Singapore saw significant growth in 2024, reaching $26.61b, a 35.4% YoY increase from $19.65b in 2023, Savills reported.

This growth was observed across all asset classes, with increases ranging from 12.1% to 133.1%, driven by the availability of investible core assets and better-than-expected economic growth.

Higher proceeds from the sale of government land sales (GLS) sites also contributed to the strong performance.

In terms of sector performance, the residential sector experienced a decline for the second consecutive quarter in Q4/2024, falling 24.3% QoQ to $2.41b, despite the $810m collective sale of Thomson View Condominium.

Meanwhile, the commercial sector registered a sharp drop of 62.7% QoQ, contributing only $966.3m in investment sales. The industrial sector, however, saw a smaller decline of 14.7% QoQ, closing the quarter with $2.13b in transactions.

Looking ahead, Savills forecasts total investment sales for 2025 to reach $23b, with expectations that transaction volumes will pick up as sellers become more willing to lower their prices and buyers adjust their expectations.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
