New Condo Launches in Singapore 2025: What Buyers Should Know

Singapore’s private residential property market has been heating up with fresh launches, evolving buyer preferences, and changing supply dynamics as we move deeper into 2025. From Core Central Region (CCR) luxury towers to more affordable options in the Outside Central Region (OCR), new condo developments are offering a wide range of choices. If you're considering purchasing a new launch, here’s what is trending now — and what to keep an eye on.

1. Supply Is Picking Up — More Projects Across CCR, RCR & OCR

• Analysts expect about 7,500–8,000 new units (including Executive Condominiums) to be launched in 2H 2025, spread over roughly 20 new developments. sri.sg
• These upcoming launches span all three major regions: the CCR (Core Central Region), RCR (Rest of Central Region / city fringe), and OCR. Buyers have more options than just suburban OCR or high-end CCR — the RCR is seeing strong activity. sri.sg+1

2. Noteworthy New & Upcoming Projects

Here are some of the most talked-about new condo projects, with reasons why they are drawing interest:

3. Price Trends & Buyer Behavior

• PSF (Price per Square Foot) variation is large depending on location. Projects in CCR easily command premium PSF rates, while OCR/newer suburbs are more affordable. For example, suburban new launches have been in the ~$1,500–$2,200 psf range in many OCR / RCR cases. CCR could be significantly above that, depending on lot, amenities, and prestige.

• Take-up rates are high for well-priced suburban projects. For OCR/RCR launches, many units sell quickly, especially where transport links or amenities are good. cbre.com.sg+1
• Buyers are more selective: prioritising proximity to MRT / transit, planning for future connectivity (new lines), amenities (parks, malls, schools), and value-for-money rather than just prestige. Also, leasehold vs freehold or very long lease deals matter greatly for value over time.

4. Regions to Watch: Where the Action Is

• RCR is particularly strong in 2025. Many new launches are in fringe-central / city-fringe areas like Toa Payoh, Queenstown, Clementi. These offer relatively good connectivity and amenities, so buyers willing to pay a premium but avoid CCR prices are finding value here. ERA+1
• OCR remains important for affordability. There’s a consistent supply of developments in newer or suburban estates. Buyers keen on lower PSF and more space tend to lean here. New Lauch Condo+2sri.sg+2
• CCR has fewer launches (due to land scarcity and cost), but whatever launches occur often become status symbols and attract high net worth buyers, investors, foreigners, etc. The scarcity in CCR gives any new premium launch strong marketing value. sri.sg+1

5. Risks, Policies & Affordability Factors

• Supply vs unsold inventory: In some segments, unsold inventory is tightening, which boosts prices and gives advantage to first movers. New Lauch Condo+1
• Cooling measures / Stamp Duty rules remain a factor. Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty (ABSD), Loan-to-Value (LTV) limits, and other housing policy levers affect demand, especially from foreign buyers or speculative investors. Buyers need to factor these costs in.
• Leasehold durations matter. Long lease or freehold taste better in CCR; for OCR, shorter lease deals are more acceptable if price is right and location improves over time.

6. What Buyers Should Do: Tips & Strategies

• Compare PSF by region: Know what comparable recent launches sold for in similar districts. If a new launch offers just a little more and location / amenities are far better, it may justify the cost.
• Look at connectivity plans: Upcoming MRT lines, cross-island lines, new transport nodes or amenities can add value over time.
• Wait for early-bird or VVIP promotions: Many developers offer early-bird (pre-launch) discounts or incentives. If you already are considering a project, keep eyes on showflat / preview periods.
• Check developer reputation and build quality: Not all new launches are equal in terms of finishes, facilities, maintenance costs etc.
• Plan for total costs: Besides purchase price, consider ABSD, property tax, maintenance charge, service fees, and potential resale value or rental yield.

7. Outlook: What’s Next in Late 2025 and Beyond

• New launches will likely continue strong into late 2025, but price growth may moderate as more supply comes on stream, especially in OCR/RCR.
• Projects in highly desirable CCR locations will remain premium, but competition among buyers will intensify, making early entry and careful selection increasingly important.
• Rental demand will continue to influence attractiveness, especially for units in the city fringe with good transport connectivity. Investors will be watching yields more closely given rising costs.
• Policy adjustments around housing loans, taxes, or cooling measures may be introduced depending on how demand and prices evolve.

Conclusion

For those eyeing a new condo launch in Singapore in 2025, there’s much to be optimistic about — more supply, better variety, strong buyer interest, and many quality projects across price bands. But the market is not one-size-fits-all: location, lease, amenities, developer, and policy are critical.

If you are considering buying, it’s a good time to do your homework: shortlist projects, visit showflats, compare PSF and lease terms, and watch for incentives. With good selection, you can still find value even in a market with rising prices.
