Singapore private property prices sustains growth in Q3

CBRE noted that price momentum has steadily picked up over the year.

Private residential property prices in Singapore rose 1.2% QoQ in Q3, according to URA’s flash estimates.

That brings total price growth for the first nine months of the year to 3.1%.

Landed homes posted a 1.4% increase, whilst non-landed prices rose 1.1%. Regionally, the Core Central Region (CCR) outperformed with a 2.4% gain, followed by the Outside Central Region (OCR) at 1.0%, and the Rest of Central Region (RCR) at 0.4%.

CBRE noted that price momentum has steadily picked up over the year—Q1 (+0.8%), Q2 (+1.0%), and now Q3 (+1.2%)—driven by healthy new launch activity.

Key performers included UpperHouse at Orchard Boulevard (around 67% sold at $3,273 psf), River Green (88% sold at launch, ~S$3,130 psf), and The Robertson Opus (48% sold, ~S$3,359 psf).

CBRE cited improving economic sentiment, including the Ministry of Trade and Industry’s GDP upgrade (1.5–2.5%) and falling interest rates, with the 3-month SORA sharply down since January.

The firm raised its full-year new home sales forecast to 8,000–9,000 units and expects price growth to end 2025 at the upper end of the 3–4% range, supported by a stronger Q4 pipeline.

On the other hand, Cushman & Wakefield said the price gap between CCR and other regions has narrowed significantly—CCR/OCR at 1.5x and CCR/RCR at 1.3x this year, compared to 2.0x and 1.7x respectively in 2016.

Sales volumes were also robust. C&W estimated about 6,594 private homes were sold in Q3 (up 28.6% qoq, 22.7% yoy), driven by eight major launches—half in the CCR. Notably, 11 of 18 key projects launched in 2025 sold more than 50% of units in their first month.

The firm now projects 2025 price growth at 3–4% and full-year sales potentially exceeding 23,000 units, barring any cooling measures or external shocks.

OrangeTee–Realion emphasized the role of non-landed homes (+1.1% in Q3), with the CCR (+2.4%) leading the charge. The region saw a dramatic jump in new sales—from just 44 units in Q2 to 896 in Q3. OCR sales also surged, whilst RCR volumes rose from 883 to 1,067.

Luxury demand played a key role. OrangeTee noted a 24.1% quarter-on-quarter rise in transactions above $3m, with 1,340 units sold in Q3 versus 1,080 in Q2.

The firm expects steady demand going forward as developers front-load launches following the Hungry Ghost Month, and as potential Fed rate cuts and easing measures provide tailwinds. Its 2025 price growth forecast stands at 3.5–5%.

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.
