Knight Frank Singapore has reported a significant rise in auction listings for Q4 2025, with a total of 134 properties listed, marking a 24.9% year-on-year increase. The surge is attributed to improved financing conditions, encouraging more buyers to engage in deals both in traditional auction halls and via Knight Frank’s Bidding app.
The total gross sales value for Q4 2025 was S$7.4m, a sharp 73.1% decrease from the previous quarter, yet reflecting a 136.8% year-on-year increase. The quarter saw four successful sales, including non-landed homes and commercial properties, with a success rate of 3.0%.
Residential properties dominated the listings, comprising 49.3% of the total, followed by retail and industrial units. The rise in retail listings, up by ten from the previous quarter, is linked to operational cost pressures and evolving retail dynamics in Singapore.
Sharon Lee, Head of Auction & Sales at Knight Frank Singapore, noted the impact of technology on auctions, with two properties sold via the auction app. These included a two-bedroom flat at Adria and a condominium unit at Lakeshore, both achieving prices above their opening bids.
Looking ahead, Knight Frank anticipates steady auction sales in 2026, driven by easing interest rates and a diverse range of properties attracting buyers. Residential listings are expected to remain the largest category, with industrial and retail properties also maintaining activity. Success rates are projected to hover around 5%, supported by continued buyer confidence.
