Landed residential sales rise by 18.6% in 2024

It contributed to an annual total of $6.1b, an 18.6% increase from 2023.

The landed residential market in H2 2024 recorded 331 transactions, up from 313 in H1, both achieving a sales value of $3.0b, Knight Frank reported.

This figure contributed to an annual total of $6.1b—an 18.6% increase from 2023 but still below the record $9.4b in 2021—with prices showing a modest YoY growth of 0.1%.

The Good Class Bungalow (GCB) segment showed notable activity, with 14 transactions in H2 2024 totaling S$618.5 million—a 45% increase from H1 2024.

Significant transactions included two GCBs in Belmont Park, acquired for a combined $131.4m at a land rate of $3,000 psf. Knight Frank attributes this uptick to portfolio rationalisation amongst high-net-worth individuals amid rising property taxes.

Knight Frank’s outlook for the landed segment remains optimistic, with prices expected to increase by 3% in 2025. This growth is supported by sustained affluence among local buyers and continued interest from globally mobile wealthy individuals seeking stability in Singapore.

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.
