Singapore home prices rise 4.7% in Q1

Prices increased by 3.8%, placing Singapore 27th out of 55 global markets tracked in the report.

Singapore’s housing market continued its upward trend in the first quarter of 2025, with home prices rising by 4.7% YoY, according to the latest Global House Price Index by Knight Frank.

In real terms — adjusted for inflation — prices increased by 3.8%, placing Singapore 27th out of 55 global markets tracked in the report.

This growth positioned Singapore ahead of many of its regional counterparts. Malaysia and Indonesia, for example, recorded nominal growth rates of just 0.9% and 1.1% respectively — with both countries posting near-zero or negative real growth.

Meanwhile, Hong Kong SAR and Mainland China were amongst the weakest global performers, with real house price declines of 7.8% and 7.3% respectively.

Quarter on quarter, Singapore’s property market also saw moderate momentum, with a 1.0% increase in nominal prices from the previous quarter.

On the other hand, global house prices rose by 2.3% on average in Q1 2025 — up from 1.7% in the previous quarter, but still below the long-term trend of 5.1% annual growth.

Whilst 87% of markets tracked reported positive nominal growth, global real price growth remained negative at –0.4%, due to persistent inflation in major economies.

Turkey led the index with a 32.2% nominal annual increase, though its real growth was negative (–4.2%) due to high inflation. Several European markets performed strongly, with North Macedonia (+22.6%), Portugal (+16.9%), and Bulgaria (+15.1%) amongst the top ten performers.

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.
