Singapore Private Home Sales Surge in November
Singapore Sees Surge in Home Sales, Fueled by Pent-Up Demand and attractive Deals
Singapore’s private home market experienced a notable surge in November, with sales figures reaching their highest point since late 2021. Experts attribute this boom to a combination of pent-up demand, improved buyer sentiment, and the launch of several new residential projects.
“November’s surge in private home sales can be attributed to pent-up demand and improved buyer sentiment as mortgages became more affordable following the United States Federal Reserve’s major interest rate cut in September,” saeid Christine Sun, Senior Vice President of Research and Analytics at OrangeTee group.
Adding fuel to the fire, November saw the launch of five new private residential projects, excluding executive condominiums (ECs), the highest number since November 2019.”Consequently, many buyers were eager to take advantage of attractive deals as several prominent projects were launched concurrently,” Sun added.
This strategic timing coincided with growing interest from buyers looking to secure a property before the year-end holiday season.
“Favourable borrowing conditions, supported by the recent easing of interest rates, further reignited buyer confidence, especially among those who had previously adopted a wait-and-see approach earlier in the year,” explained Mohan Sandrasegeran, Head of Research and Data Analytics at Singapore Realtors Inc.

Among the new launches,Emerald of Katong proved notably popular,selling an remarkable 99.3% of its 846 units in November at a median price of S$2,627 (US$1,948) per square foot.
“Buyers were drawn to the project’s excellent design and offerings, particularly those wishing to live near the East Coast,” Sun noted.
Chuan Park, located on Lorong Chuan, also performed well, selling 721 of its 916 units at a median price of S$2,586 psf.”Its appeal lay in its family-pleasant surroundings, competitive pricing and proximity to established connectivity and amenities,” Sandrasegeran said.
Market Resilience and Future Outlook
The success of these projects highlights the enduring appeal of large-scale developments that offer extensive facilities and cater to diverse buyer profiles.
“With their combination of attractive locations, thoughtfully designed layouts and competitive pricing, these developments captured the attention of buyers, including upgraders and investors seeking long-term value,” Sandrasegeran added.
The 2,557 units sold in November exceeded the total units sold in any quarter as the fourth quarter of 2021,when 3,018 units were sold.
