Singapore Real Estate - Market Share Analysis, Industry Trends & Statistics, Growth Forecasts (2025 - 2030)
Market Report I 2025-04-28 I 150 Pages I Mordor Intelligence
The Singapore Real Estate Market size is estimated at USD 49.64 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 68.24 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 6.57% during the forecast period (2025-2030).
Affordable housing projects and the demand for logistics and industrial real estate are driving the real estate market in Singapore.
Key Highlights
- Singapore's residential property market shows signs of further stabilization, with a drop in demand in real estate markets. In the same way, the rental market is likely to cool, especially in the private housing sector.
- In the office sector, more occupiers have been eyeing locations farther away from the city center to woo talent. In contrast, others rejig their real estate footprint to enable employees to work in less dense spaces. Large technology firms in Singapore are further set to drive office demand and co-working spaces shortly as Singapore emerges as a technology hub.
- The Singapore Tourism Board (STB) launched BOOST (Building On Opportunities to Strengthen Tourism) in the hospitality industry. It is a USD 90 million initiative to attract and increase the number of tourists. Business travel, meetings, incentive travel, conventions, and exhibitions (BTMCE) are some of the significant sources of revenue for the hotel real estate industry in the country.
- After chalking up increases of 7.2% in the first quarter of 2023 and 2.8% in the second quarter of 2023, the URA rental index for private dwellings increased by 0.8% in Q3 2023. This resulted in an 11.1% increase over the past nine months of the year. The leasing market has been normalized, with 15,883 private homes and 1,316 executive condominiums between January and September 2023, representing a total of 17,199 ready new homes.
Singapore Real Estate Market Trends
Rise in the Residential Segment of the Singapore Real Estate Market
- Singapore's property prices rose for the 12th consecutive quarter, shrugging off a global slowdown in housing and leading authorities to increase levies on foreign buyers that have slowed down the market. Even as cities from Hong Kong to London face price declines, Singapore's housing market has remained strong. In March 2023, housing sales rose to a six-month high as the supply shortage eased and buyers remained resistant to rising interest rates and inflation.
- In the last three months of 2023, housing prices increased by 2.7% compared to the preceding quarter, up by 0.5%.
- Singapore's property market has been resilient after the COVID-19 pandemic, with private house prices rising by 10.6% in 2021 and 8.6% in 2022, unlike Britain or New Zealand, where housing prices have fallen due to high interest rates.
- Although prices in the central region are rising slower than in recent years, buyers still sell private apartments for about SGD 3,000 (USD 2,252) per square foot.
- As the underlying demand for these homes is expected to remain resilient, developers will look at attractive development sites from the Land Sales Programme and those that could be developed into significant market housing developments. More significant headwinds will be faced by collective sale transactions on sites in the upper-end market.
Increase in Government Investment
- In the third quarter of 2024, Singapore witnessed a notable uptick in real estate investments, marking the first increase in nearly two years. Deal volumes surged by 75%, reaching SGD 6.9 billion (USD 5.0 billion), driven by robust government land sales.
- Property giants CapitaLand Development and UOL Group joined forces in a significant move, securing the largest land purchase of 2023. Their winning bid of SGD 1.2 billion (USD 0.88 billion) secured a mixed-use site at Tampines Avenue 11. This parcel of land allows for the potential development of 1,190 new homes and a commercial space spanning 13,600 square meters (146,390 square feet).
- Government Land Sales (GLS) significantly contributed to investment sales in 2023, amounting to USD 7.8 billion, a 40% increase from the previous year. In 2023, GLS investments accounted for 38.0% of the total, double the share of 19.2% seen in 2022. Notably, the government awarded 14 GLS sites in 2023, with four of them materializing in the fourth quarter, totaling USD 2.9 billion.
- In January 2024, a residential project is set to replace the existing sports facilities adjacent to Kembangan MRT station. The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) unveiled its proposed amendment to the master plan, focusing on rezoning multiple land parcels to accommodate housing. Alongside the residential units, the development will feature a new neighborhood park and commercial and recreational amenities. The earmarked land for residential purposes spans nearly 2 hectares, equivalent to roughly three football fields. Initially designated for mixed-use, with residential units and shops on the ground floor and a plot ratio of 2.5, it will now be exclusively residential with an increased plot ratio of 3.2. This revision potentially enables the project to soar beyond 36 stories.
