Singapore Real Estate Investment Market Regains Momentum Full Year Sales Could Hit Around 30 Bil
Singapore’s real estate market saw a strong surge in investments during the third quarter of 2025, achieving its highest quarterly performance of the year. According to research compiled by Colliers, a total of $10.3 billion was invested in the last quarter, marking a 35.6% increase from the previous quarter and the highest figure in the past three years.
A separate report by Savills also showed a robust performance for the real estate market, with investments reaching $11.09 billion in the third quarter. In total, investments for the first nine months of the year amounted to $22.72 billion, a 17.9% increase from the same period in 2024.
This growth was primarily driven by the awarding of land parcels under the Government Land Sales (GLS) programme. In the third quarter, seven residential sites, one commercial and residential site, and four industrial sites were awarded, amounting to a total of nearly $4.15 billion, which is a 242% increase from the previous quarter.
Developer participation in GLS tenders has also significantly increased, with an average of 6.5 bids per site recorded in the third quarter. This is a significant rise from the levels seen in the past two years and the first half of 2025. The increase in bids can be attributed to new launches and falling interest rates, which have boosted new home sales.
Despite the strong performance in the public sector, private investment sales remain low, excluding related party transactions and REIT IPO deals. However, experts are optimistic that things will pick up in the coming months. With interest rates dropping, there is potential for a surge in open market private investment sales in the last quarter of 2025 and in 2026, as long as the price gap for many assets can be addressed.
According to Alan Cheong, executive director at Savills Research & Consultancy, capital market conditions have improved significantly, and he expects investment sales to continue to perform well in the second half of 2025. The firm has upgraded its full-year forecast, with total investment sales now projected to reach between $28 billion and $30 billion.
Colliers also shares this positive outlook, with executive director and co-head of investment services, Tan Boon Leong, stating that easing interest rates and renewed confidence in public markets will lead to a resurgence in private assets. The firm projects full-year investment sales to range between $29 billion and $32 billion, representing a 10% to 20% increase from the previous year. Looking ahead to 2026, emerging asset classes such as co-living and workers’ dormitories are expected to drive further growth in the real estate market.
