Landed home sales surge 78.3% YoY in Q4 2024

Transaction volume increased 5.1% quarter-on-quarter to 435 units, marking a 78.3% YoY rise.

The landed homes market saw strong activity in Q4 2024, despite the typical year-end slowdown, Huttons reported.

In a report, Huttons said transaction volume increased 5.1% quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) to 435 units, marking a 78.3% YoY rise.

In a report, Huttons said the overall number of landed home transactions in 2024 reached 1,574 units, representing a 34.4% increase compared to 2023 due to price corrections in the previous quarter and interest rate cuts, which encouraged buyers to return to the market.

The semi-detached home segment experienced the highest growth, with transactions surging by 45.3% YoY to 478 units in 2024. Similarly, terrace homes recorded strong demand, with 948 units sold, up 37.2% YoY.

In contrast, detached home sales declined slightly, with 148 transactions in 2024 compared to 151 in 2023.

Supported by steady demand, prices remained firm in Q4 2024, averaging $1,944 per square foot (psf) on land, slightly higher than $1,924 psf in Q3 2024. Over the full year, landed home prices increased by 3.1% YoY to $1,922 psf.

Terrace homes saw the highest price increase, rising to $2,048 psf in Q4 2024, whilst semi-detached home prices grew to $1,838 psf. Detached home prices, however, declined to $1,594 psf, reflecting affordability challenges for buyers.

The total value of transactions in Q4 2024 reached $2.4b, reflecting a 14.8% QoQ increase. For the full year 2024, the total transacted value of landed homes stood at $8.4b, a 28.5% increase from $6.5b in 2023.

There was also a noticeable decline in HDB upgraders purchasing landed homes, with their share of buyers dropping to 13.7% in 2024, compared to 20.4% in 2020.

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.
