Singaporean share dips to 61% as PRs climb to 25% amidst CCR luxury rebound

Total deal value slipped 3.6% to $1.67b in Q2 2026.

Permanent residents (PRs) accounted for a higher proportion of Singapore's private residential volumes in the second quarter (Q2) of 2026, amidst continued dominance from Singaporeans, according to Realion (OrangeTee & ETC) Research.

PRs' share of private residential volume by nationality rose to approximately 25% in Q2 2026 — up from around 20% in Q1 2026 and the highest level across the five quarters tracked.

Singaporeans continued to account for the majority of transactions, though their share narrowed to approximately 61% in Q2 2026 — the lowest across the same period, down from a peak of around 78% in Q3 2025.

Foreigners and companies made up the remaining volume, with their shares broadly unchanged — foreigners at around 13% and companies below 2% in Q2 2026.

The shift comes against a backdrop of strength in the Core Central Region (CCR) luxury home market.

CCR luxury home sales reached a four-year first-half (H1) high in H1 2026, with 353 transactions, up 24.7% year-on-year from 283 in H1 2025.

Despite posting fewer transactions in Q2 2026 at 162 sales, compared with 191 in the first quarter (Q1) of 2026, transaction volumes remained above the three-year quarterly average of 137.

Total transaction value across resale and new sales eased 3.6% quarter-on-quarter, from $1.73b in Q1 2026 to $1.67b in Q2 2026.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
