Market Overview: What’s Driving Buyer Decisions?
The property market during this period has shown resilience despite broader economic uncertainties. Here’s what stood out:
1. Increased Demand for Resale Condos
Resale condos, particularly in CCR (Core Central Region) and OCR (Outside Central Region), have seen a spike in volume. According to caveat data, resale volumes in July rose by more than 30% month-on-month. Buyers are returning to the market for larger spaces and appreciating the relative value of resale units compared to new launches.
2. Strong Interest in Landed Homes
Landed property transactions, especially in Districts 10 and 15, remain robust. Freehold landed homes are increasingly viewed as long-term wealth preservation assets, particularly in land-scarce Singapore. Many of the landed deals in this week’s Done Deals came with redevelopment or rental potential.
3. Upgraders Active in EC and Mass-Market Segments
Upgraders from HDB flats have been key drivers of sales in executive condominiums and suburban condos. Well-located ECs like those in Sengkang, Tampines, and Punggol continue to transact above S$1.6 million, especially for larger 4-bedroom units with premium views or layouts.

What Real Estate Experts Are Saying
Property analysts note that buyers are responding to long-term fundamentals like location, tenure, and land scarcity. New launches are facing price resistance above $2,500 psf, pushing more buyers into the resale market where price psf and larger unit sizes offer better value.
EdgeProp’s report highlights that:
“While new launches command a premium, resale condos offer immediate occupancy, larger layouts, and more negotiation room—especially attractive to family buyers.”
Additionally, landed homes remain a stronghold of the luxury market:
“Singapore’s landed properties, especially freehold units in central districts, continue to attract wealthier buyers and foreign investors under family offices or trust setups.”
Trends to Watch in August 2025
As we move into August, several trends may shape the upcoming weeks:
- Upcoming new launches may draw attention away from resale, especially in the CCR and RCR.
- GLS land sales and EC supply could influence buyer expectations in mass-market segments.
- Rising interest in green-certified properties and homes near MRT lines is impacting price premiums.
- Rental demand remains strong, especially for 2- and 3-bedroom resale units near business hubs.
Buyer Tips for Navigating the Market
Thinking of buying this quarter? Here’s how to make smarter choices:
- Do your due diligence: Use URA’s transaction data to compare actual prices in your chosen location.
- Negotiate actively: Many resale sellers are open to negotiation in this shifting market.
- Watch for value zones: Look beyond the CCR to find hidden gems in the RCR and OCR.
- Don’t overlook ECs: They offer value, especially those reaching MOP and available to resale buyers.
- Prioritize location: Properties near MRT stations or in school clusters tend to hold value best.
Conclusion
The residential transactions from July 15 to July 22, 2025, highlight strong market activity in both resale condominiums and landed properties, fueled by practical buyer motivations and long-term investment thinking.
As Singapore’s real estate market continues to evolve, keeping an eye on transaction data, government land sales, and new launch benchmarks will help buyers stay ahead. Whether you’re an upgrader, investor, or first-time buyer, the mid-July numbers show that opportunities remain strong in both the luxury and mass-market segments.
