Is investor confidence returning to Singapore’s property market?

Investments in Q3 increased by 23.7% year-on-year.

Investment sales in Singapore surged in the third quarter of 2025, signalling renewed confidence amongst developers and institutional investors, according to a report by ETC, a member of Realion Group.

Total transactions reached $10.1b, an 82.5% increase quarter-on-quarter and 23.7% higher year-on-year.

Government Land Sales (GLS) drove much of the momentum, accounting for 40.9% of total investment volume. Twelve sites were awarded during the quarter, including Chencharu Close, Chuan Grove, and Woodlands Drive (EC).

Developers are increasingly targeting plots near MRT stations, established neighbourhoods, and lifestyle hubs, which offer better marketability and price resilience.

The private sector saw limited movement, with only one major collective sale — Chiku Mansions — concluded during the quarter. ETC said pricing gaps between sellers and developers continue to weigh on the en-bloc market.

Even so, sentiment remains cautiously optimistic, supported by expectations of global interest rate easing and redevelopment prospects under the Draft Master Plan 2025.

Cumulative investment sales for the first three quarters reached $21.5b, putting full-year volumes on track for $24–25b.

ETC said it expects momentum to strengthen as pricing expectations align, particularly for assets with redevelopment potential and in areas slated for rejuvenation.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
