Singapore real estate investment market regains momentum, full-year sales could hit around $30 bil
Savills’ report highlights that developer involvement in GLS tenders has improved to an average of 6.5 proposals per site last quarter, significantly greater than values seen over the past two years and the very first half of 2025. This comes as brand-new launches, combined with falling rates of interest, have actually boosted new home sales.
Alan Cheong, managing supervisor at Savills Research & Consultancy, is also optimistic. “Capital market conditions have turned around very suddenly and very positively for venture sales to power ahead for 2H2025,” he observes, including that investment sales for the very first nine months of 2025 have already exceeded Savills’ full-year estimation of $20 billion.
The pick-up in purchases was driven by land parcels presented under the Government Land Sales (GLS) process. 7 housing sites, one business and non commercial area, and four industrial areas were granted in 3Q2025 for a total of almost $4.15 billion, up just about 242% q-o-q.
Jeremy Lake, supervising executive of investment sales and capital markets at Savills Singapore, notes that property investment sales continued to be underpinned by public deals. “The actual number of private investment sales omitting related party deals and REIT IPO agreements continues to be disappointingly low,” he says.
Still, he expects things to pick up in the following months. “The large drop in rates of interest (SORA) this year bodes well for a rise in open market personal financial investment sales in 4Q2025 and in 2026, presuming a persistent rate void which exists for many assets can be overcome.”
Catherine He, head of research at Colliers Singapore, adds that in spite of tighter returns, Singapore stays a crucial market for international investors wanting diversity.
Therefore, the company has updated its foresight, with complete investment sales currently projected to go in between $28 billion and $30 billion.
Singapore realty investments rose in 3Q2025, attaining its greatest quarterly productivity to date this year. Research study put together by Colliers arranged $10.3 billion in investment sales past quarter, that stands for a 35.6% spike q-o-q and the highest possible quarterly number in around 3 years, the firm states.
Colliers shares the sanguine outlook. “Easing interest rates and renewed confidence in public markets are setting the stage for a comeback in private assets”, notes Tan Boon Leong, executive director and co-head of investment services at Colliers Singapore. “Institutional capital is expected to pick up, driving techniques focused on redevelopment, lease optimisation, and arising sectors.”
Colliers plans full-year investment sales to range between $29 billion to $32 billion, that represents a progress of 10% to 20% y-o-y. “Expecting 2026, emerging investment courses such as co-living and laborers’ dorms are positioned to turn into essential growth drivers,” it adds.
A different record by Savills pegged realty investments at $11.09 billion for 3Q2025. Cumulatively, financial investment sales have actually amounted to $22.72 billion for the very first nine months of the year, 17.9% greater compared to the very same duration last year, it adds.
