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.
