Singapore ranks 11th globally as prime home prices rise

The index revealed that average annual growth among all cities fell to just 2.3%, the weakest since late 2023. 

Singapore’s prime residential market posted a 5.1% YoY increase in home prices for Q2 2025, placing the city-state 11th globally among 46 major markets tracked by Knight Frank’s latest Prime Global Cities Index.

On a quarterly basis, prime prices in Singapore rose 2.3%, indicating a notable rebound even as global luxury property markets lost momentum.

The index, which monitors top-tier residential values across the globe, revealed that average annual growth among all cities fell to just 2.3%, the weakest since late 2023. Rising borrowing costs and delayed interest rate cuts have slowed price gains in many leading markets.

Asian cities continue to lead the global rankings, with Seoul (+25.2%) and Tokyo (+16.3%) taking the top spots. Still, Singapore's solid showing placed it ahead of cities like Los Angeles (+3.9%), London (-2.5%), and Hong Kong (-14.3%).

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.
