Landed residential sales rise by 18.6% in 2024

It contributed to an annual total of $6.1b, an 18.6% increase from 2023.

The landed residential market in H2 2024 recorded 331 transactions, up from 313 in H1, both achieving a sales value of $3.0b, Knight Frank reported.

This figure contributed to an annual total of $6.1b—an 18.6% increase from 2023 but still below the record $9.4b in 2021—with prices showing a modest YoY growth of 0.1%.

The Good Class Bungalow (GCB) segment showed notable activity, with 14 transactions in H2 2024 totaling S$618.5 million—a 45% increase from H1 2024.

Significant transactions included two GCBs in Belmont Park, acquired for a combined $131.4m at a land rate of $3,000 psf. Knight Frank attributes this uptick to portfolio rationalisation amongst high-net-worth individuals amid rising property taxes.

Knight Frank’s outlook for the landed segment remains optimistic, with prices expected to increase by 3% in 2025. This growth is supported by sustained affluence among local buyers and continued interest from globally mobile wealthy individuals seeking stability in Singapore.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
