Prime non-landed value jumps 54.5% YoY to $2.2b

New luxury hits $4,692 psf versus $2,130 psf resale.

Prime non-landed and landed residential markets posted year-on-year (YoY) growth in 2025, Knight Frank Singapore found.  

For prime non-landed home sales, 257 transactions were recorded during the year to reach a total sales value of $2.2b, or a 54.5% YoY increase in value, it added.

In the primary market, Knight Frank said that high-end activity during the year was mainly supported by the new sales of 21 Anderson and 32 Gilstead.

For landed homes, 908 units were sold during the year to reach a total sales value of $8.2b, compared to 684 homes sold to reach a value of $6.4b the year before.

Meanwhile, new sales of high-rise luxury homes in prime areas of over 2,500 square feet registered a median price of $4,692 per sq. ft. (psf) last year, Knight Frank said.

In contrast, a median price of $2,130 psf was recorded for resale properties with the same parameters, it added.

The property consultancy said that with the median unit prices of new product commanding a premium that exceeded that of resale transactions, discerning buyers could find more affordable luxury homes in the prime areas, such as the Core Central Region (CCR), with good value.

A total of 22 good class bungalows (GCBs) were sold in 2025 to reach a total sales value of $1b. Twenty-two GCBs were sold in 2024 with a total value of also $1b.

In 2026, declining interest rates, Singapore’s stability and predictability amidst global economic uncertainty, and demand for family-sized units in prime locations can support the luxury non-landed home market, Knight Frank predicted.

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.
