Singapore Property Market Overview 2026
The Singapore property market in 2026 is defined by resilience, controlled supply, and record-setting price benchmarks. According to multiple market analyses, new launch volumes will remain below the 10-year average, with about 7,600 new condo completions forecast for the year—compared to the historical 12,000 annual average[2].
Key drivers shaping the 2026 landscape include:
- Strong developer confidence with firm land bids and ongoing Government Land Sales (GLS) activity[1].
- Steady demand from both local and international buyers, despite tightened regulations and high Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty (ABSD) rates[4].
- Infrastructure upgrades—MRT extensions, new roads, and urban rejuvenation—boosting previously overlooked districts[2].
- Controlled inflation and stable employment supporting housing affordability and price momentum[4].
