Price Stabilization and Sustainable Growth in 2025: What’s Next in 2026?
Singapore’s property market in 2025 is experiencing a period of price stabilization and measured growth, setting the stage for sustainable trends and cautious optimism in 2026. Homejourney’s expert analysis provides buyers and investors with actionable insights, verified data, and trusted guidance for safe, confident decisions in a dynamic landscape.
How Did Singapore’s Property Market Stabilize in 2025?
Stabilization in 2025 is characterized by moderate price increases, healthy new project launches, and cautious buyer sentiment. According to the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA), the Property Price Index for all private residential properties rose by 0.81% quarter-on-quarter and 3.33% year-on-year in Q1 2025, largely due to new launches in fringe and suburban areas[1].
- Non-landed properties (condominiums) led with a 0.95% QoQ increase; year-on-year, prices rose by 4.74%[1].
- Landed properties saw a modest 0.38% QoQ rise, but a -1.3% annual change[1].
- HDB resale prices increased by 1.57% QoQ and 9.42% YoY in Q1 2025, narrowing the price gap with private housing[1].
CBRE and PropNex forecast a continued 3-4% increase in private residential property prices for 2025, supported by limited unsold inventory and strong household finances[1].
Key Drivers of Sustainable Growth in 2025
Singapore’s real estate resilience is underpinned by several factors:
- Low unsold inventory and steady new launches keep competition healthy for buyers and sellers[1][3].
- Strong household balance sheets and rising HDB resale prices support upgrader demand[1].
- Regulatory safeguards—including strict loan-to-value (LTV) limits, higher Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty (ABSD) rates, and minimum occupancy periods for HDB units—ensure responsible lending and discourage speculation[1].
- Selective buying: Buyers in 2025 prioritize developments with good value and robust amenities, contributing to price stability and sustainable demand[3].

2026 Forecast: What’s Next for Singapore Property?
Looking forward, most analysts expect the market’s stabilization to persist, with growth shifting from rapid appreciation to sustainable, incremental gains.
- Trading Economics projects the Residential Property Price Index to reach 231.00 points in 2026, up from 215.10 in Q3 2025[2].
- IMF forecasts GDP growth of 1.9% in 2026, indicating steady economic fundamentals[1].
- CBRE expects a 5-10% rise in investment volume in 2025, led by Singapore and Korea, with stable activity continuing into 2026[5].
However, market experts caution against expecting sharp price surges. Lower foreign demand, continued economic uncertainty, and new supply will keep growth in check[1]. Homejourney recommends buyers and investors adopt a long-term, fundamentals-based approach, focusing on value, location, and property quality.
