Prices & Market Direction
CurrentPrivate prices rose while HDB resale dipped—but Q3 was not one uniform market
Private-home prices increased 1.4% while HDB resale prices slipped 0.2%, yet the regional and volume data point to a divided, selective market rather than a simple two-speed story.
Planning & Redevelopment
CurrentGolden Mile Singapore: can conservation become a property advantage?
The Golden Mile and Aurea show how adaptive reuse can preserve an architectural landmark while creating new homes and commercial uses—but successful execution matters more than heritage alone.
Transformation & Future Supply
CurrentValley Point confirmed for 407-home luxury riverfront redevelopment
Frasers Property and Mitsubishi Estate have confirmed a 999-year mixed-use project with homes, sky villas, serviced residences and lifestyle offerings, targeted for launch in 2027.
Land & New Launches
CurrentTwo new GLS sites: a boutique East Coast plot and future supply in Serangoon North
One site is open for tender while the other is only available for application—a distinction that changes how soon new homes may reach the market.
New Launches & Buyer Demand
CurrentAmberwood sold 23 units at launch: measured demand or a difficult price point?
The first weekend produced a 33% take-up of the initial release, but only 11% of the whole development has been sold so far.
HDB & Policy
CurrentWill removing the 15-month wait-out period push HDB resale prices higher?
An NUS survey suggests most property players do not expect a price surge, as incoming MOP supply and wider subsidised options may absorb some demand.
Affordability & Market Sentiment
CurrentSuburban property sentiment turns negative: are buyers reaching their limit?
The wider property outlook improved in Q2, but sentiment towards mass-market private homes fell below zero as affordability became harder to ignore.
Transactions & Market Liquidity
CurrentFour luxury homes sold, while 15 properties were withdrawn: what did buyers reject?
The seized-property auctions attracted attention, but only selected units converted that interest into a completed bid.
Planning & Redevelopment
CurrentURA is reviewing floor-space rules: what could greater design flexibility change?
The review may improve project design and viability, but no new entitlement or bonus floor area has been announced yet.
Financing & Affordability
CurrentAfter the Fed rate hike, should Singapore homeowners review their mortgages?
A Fed move can influence Singapore funding costs, but it does not translate mechanically into the same change in SORA or every mortgage package.
Market Watch
Historical contextWhat is moving the property market—and what is only making noise
Deals and search activity can reveal attention. They do not automatically tell us what an individual property is worth.
Buyer Trends
CurrentWhy larger Tampines homes are drawing multigenerational buyers
More space can solve a real family need. The better question is whether the layout, price and future buyer pool remain sensible together.
En Bloc & Redevelopment
Historical contextHigh Point relaunches for collective sale: what the site signals
A prime freehold site returning to market is useful evidence of developer appetite—but a relaunch is not a completed sale.
Land & New Launches
CurrentNew Upper Changi Road: what a high land bid may mean for buyers
Land cost is an important signal—but it is not a launch-price formula.
Ownership & Policy
CurrentFamily-funded and proxy property purchases: ownership, control and ABSD risk
Putting a property in another person’s name can create consequences that last far beyond the purchase.
Transformation & Future Supply
Historical contextHougang Central’s mega integrated project: why this older land sale still matters
About 835 homes, a major mall and direct MRT-bus integration could reshape Hougang town centre—but future launch pricing remains an estimate, not a confirmed fact.
