Singapore real estate investment market regains momentum, full-year sales could hit around $30 bil
Colliers projects full-year investment sales to range between $29 billion to $32 billion, which represents a development of 10% to 20% y-o-y. “Expecting 2026, arising asset classes such as co-living and employees’ dorms are poised to develop into essential growth drivers,” it adds.
Savills’ report highlights that developer participation in GLS tenders has actually increased to an average of 6.5 bids per site last quarter, considerably more than levels seen over the past two years and the very first half of 2025. This comes as brand-new launches, coupled with dropping interest rates, have actually increased brand-new home sales.
Therefore, the firm has enhanced its foresight, with total investment sales currently predicted ahead in between $28 billion and $30 billion.
Jeremy Lake, managing supervisor of financial investment sales and funding markets at Savills Singapore, notes that real estate investment sales continued to be underpinned by public purchases. “The actual number of private financial investment sales omitting relevant party sales and REIT IPO agreements continues to be disappointingly poor,” he claims.
Catherine He, head of research at Colliers Singapore, includes that regardless of tighter yields, Singapore remains an essential market for international investors pursuing diversification.
Still, he expects things to pick up in the upcoming months. “The large decrease in rates of interest (SORA) this year bodes well for a rise in free market private investment sales in 4Q2025 and in 2026, presuming a stubborn cost void that exists for numerous assets can be overcome.”
Singapore real estate financial investments climbed in 3Q2025, achieving its strongest quarterly productivity to date this year. Research compiled by Colliers tabulated $10.3 billion in investment sales last quarter, that presents a 35.6% spike q-o-q and the highest quarterly figure in around 3 years, the firm states.
A separate record by Savills pegged realty investments at $11.09 billion for 3Q2025. Cumulatively, financial investment sales have totalled $22.72 billion for the very first nine months of the year, 17.9% higher compared to the very same period last year, it adds in.
Alan Cheong, managing supervisor at Savills Research & Consultancy, is additionally optimistic. “Capital market conditions have shifted really suddenly and really favourably for venture sales to power ahead for 2H2025,” he follows, adding that financial investment sales for the very first nine months of 2025 have actually already gone beyond Savills’ full-year assessment of $20 billion.
The pick-up in sales was steered by land parcels presented under the Government Land Sales (GLS) program. 7 non commercial places, one commercial and residential site, and 4 commercial locations were allocated in 3Q2025 for an overall of almost $4.15 billion, up nearly 242% q-o-q.
Colliers shares the sanguine expectation. “Easing interest rates and renewed confidence in public markets are setting the stage for a comeback in private properties”, notes Tan Boon Leong, executive supervisor and co-head of investment services at Colliers Singapore. “Institutional capital is expected to pick up, driving approaches focused on redevelopment, lease optimization, and emerging sectors.”
