2025 Singapore Property Market Forecast: Key Statistics and Trends
Private residential prices are forecast to rise by 3-4% in 2025, according to CBRE, reflecting a stabilizing market despite ongoing buyer momentum. The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) Property Price Index for Q1 2025 showed a 0.81% quarter-on-quarter and 3.33% year-on-year increase, with new launches in fringe and suburban areas leading gains.[1]
- Non-landed properties (private condos): 0.95% QoQ increase, 4.74% YoY growth.[1]
- Landed properties: 0.38% QoQ increase, but a 1.30% YoY decline.[1]
- Public housing resale prices surged 9.6% in 2024, nearly double the previous year’s growth.[4]
These figures highlight the resilience of Singapore’s property market, especially in the face of global economic uncertainty. Homejourney actively monitors and verifies these data points, ensuring buyers and investors can make decisions rooted in transparent, up-to-date information.
Demand Drivers: Household Formation and Upgraders
New household formation remains a crucial driver of demand. On average, 20,000 new households are formed annually, with marriage rates (averaging 27,000 per year) signaling continued underlying demand.[2] While HDB supply has increased, many buyers seek private or resale public housing due to income ceilings, location preferences, or urgent timelines.
Upgraders (existing HDB owners moving to private property) are a significant market force, fueled by:
- Over 100,000 HDB flats reaching their Minimum Occupation Period (MOP) from 2019-2023
- Rising household incomes (more households exceeding S$20,000 monthly)
- Desire for lifestyle upgrades and investment diversification
Homejourney’s safety-first approach ensures that upgraders are supported with clear process guides and verified listings, reducing risks and building trust every step of the way.
Shifting Buyer Sentiment: Value-Driven, Cautious Optimism
The 2025 market is characterized by cautious optimism. Buyers are increasingly focused on long-term value and sustainability, moving away from short-term speculation.[3] Key considerations now include:
- Location desirability and future urban transformation
- Property condition and build quality
- Potential for future appreciation (especially in districts with new MRT projects or urban renewal plans)[4]
Homejourney actively incorporates user feedback to refine our property verification process, ensuring that buyers can confidently assess these factors with access to transparent, up-to-date information.
Regulatory Landscape: What Buyers Need to Know in 2025
Singapore’s government continues to play a proactive role in maintaining market stability and protecting buyers. Key regulations impacting the 2025 property market include:
- Loan-to-Value (LTV) limits and Total Debt Servicing Ratio (TDSR) policies
- Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty (ABSD) adjustments to moderate foreign demand
- Enhanced property listing verification requirements for platforms, supporting Homejourney’s commitment to user safety
These regulatory measures help ensure a level playing field and discourage speculative activity, creating a safer, more transparent environment for all participants.
Actionable Steps for Buyers and Investors in 2025
- Prioritize safety and verification: Always use trusted platforms like Homejourney, which rigorously verify listings and agent credentials, minimizing risks of scams or misinformation.
- Assess location and transformation potential: Focus on areas with upcoming MRT lines, urban renewal, or government-backed transformation for stronger long-term value.[4]
- Understand your financing limits: Review LTV, TDSR, and ABSD requirements to accurately calculate your budget and avoid overleveraging.
- Factor in household formation trends: If you’re an upgrader, monitor MOP releases and resale market dynamics to time your move strategically.[2]
- Leverage data-driven insights: Use Homejourney’s market analytics and transparent transaction histories to benchmark prices and negotiate with confidence.
