Singaporean share dips to 61% as PRs climb to 25% amidst CCR luxury rebound

Total deal value slipped 3.6% to $1.67b in Q2 2026.

Permanent residents (PRs) accounted for a higher proportion of Singapore's private residential volumes in the second quarter (Q2) of 2026, amidst continued dominance from Singaporeans, according to Realion (OrangeTee & ETC) Research.

PRs' share of private residential volume by nationality rose to approximately 25% in Q2 2026 — up from around 20% in Q1 2026 and the highest level across the five quarters tracked.

Singaporeans continued to account for the majority of transactions, though their share narrowed to approximately 61% in Q2 2026 — the lowest across the same period, down from a peak of around 78% in Q3 2025.

Foreigners and companies made up the remaining volume, with their shares broadly unchanged — foreigners at around 13% and companies below 2% in Q2 2026.

The shift comes against a backdrop of strength in the Core Central Region (CCR) luxury home market.

CCR luxury home sales reached a four-year first-half (H1) high in H1 2026, with 353 transactions, up 24.7% year-on-year from 283 in H1 2025.

Despite posting fewer transactions in Q2 2026 at 162 sales, compared with 191 in the first quarter (Q1) of 2026, transaction volumes remained above the three-year quarterly average of 137.

Total transaction value across resale and new sales eased 3.6% quarter-on-quarter, from $1.73b in Q1 2026 to $1.67b in Q2 2026.

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.
