Singapore’s property market witnessed a significant upswing in July 2025, with developers launching 1,675 units for sale, marking a 16.3-fold increase from June 2025 and a 171.9% rise year-on-year. This surge came despite the introduction of cooling measures on 4 July, which increased the holding period and magnitude of the Seller’s Stamp Duty (SSD). Buyers remained undeterred, viewing property as a mid to long-term investment, Huttons said in a note.
Three major projects—LyndenWoods, The Robertson Opus, and UPPERHOUSE at Orchard Boulevard—were pivotal, contributing 70% of the 940 units sold in July. This figure represents a 245.6% increase from June and a 63.2% rise compared to July 2024. LyndenWoods, the first residential project in Singapore Science Park, sold 331 units, or 96.5% of its offerings, with starting prices comparable to those in the Outside Central Region.
The Core Central Region (CCR) projects, The Robertson Opus and UPPERHOUSE, also performed well, underscoring the strong demand for prime properties. The narrowing price gap between CCR and Rest of Central Region (RCR) homes—from 56.5% in 2018 to 1.9% in the first half of 2025—has made CCR properties more attractive.
Huttons Data Analytics estimates that developers sold 5,527 units in the first seven months of 2025, about 69% of their full-year forecast. Looking ahead, the market anticipates further launches, with five projects expected in August 2025, potentially adding 2,472 units to the market.
