Price Guide 2026Singapore

SingaporeAverage Rent

The Singapore property market is entering a phase of mature stability as the massive supply of 2024-2025 developments finally integrates into the rental pool. While cooling measures have successfully dampened domestic speculation, the city-state remains a global safe haven, with high-end residential projects in the Rest of Central Region (RCR) outperforming expectations. We are seeing a shift where value is migrating toward the city fringes as the Core Central Region (CCR) reaches a pricing plateau. Verdict: It remains a landlord’s market, but savvy buyers should target the East Coast and North-East corridors for long-term capital preservation.
