Singapore real estate investment market regains momentum, full-year sales could hit around $30 bil
Catherine He, head of research at Colliers Singapore, includes that regardless of tighter yields, Singapore stays an essential market for international investors wanting diversification.
Savills’ report feature that developer participation in GLS tenders has actually improved to an average of 6.5 bids per site last quarter, considerably higher than levels seen over the past 2 years and the very first half of 2025. This comes as new launches, paired with falling rate of interest, have enhanced new home sales.
Alan Cheong, executive director at Savills Research & Consultancy, is also confident. “Capital market conditions have shifted very suddenly and really positively for investment decision sales to power ahead for 2H2025,” he observes, including that investment sales for the initial 9 months of 2025 have already gone beyond Savills’ full-year assessment of $20 billion.
Still, he expects things to elevate in the upcoming months. “The big drop in interest rates (SORA) this year bodes well for a rise in free market personal financial investment sales in 4Q2025 and in 2026, thinking a persistent price gap which exists for many assets can be overcome.”
Colliers shares the sanguine outlook. “Easing interest rates and renewed confidence in public markets are preparing the stage for a resurgence in private assets”, observes Tan Boon Leong, executive supervisor and co-head of investment services at Colliers Singapore. “Institutional capital is anticipated to make a comeback, driving methods concentrated on redevelopment, lease optimization, and arising industries.”
Singapore realty investments rose in 3Q2025, achieving its strongest quarterly productivity to date this year. Research study compiled by Colliers tabulated $10.3 billion in financial 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.
Jeremy Lake, supervising supervisor of investment sales and capital markets at Savills Singapore, keeps in mind that real estate investment sales remained to be underpinned by public purchases. “The actual variety of private financial investment sales excluding related party transactions and REIT IPO deals remains disappointingly low,” he states.

A different report by Savills pegged realty investments at $11.09 billion for 3Q2025. Cumulatively, financial investment sales have actually completed $22.72 billion for the initial nine months of the year, 17.9% greater contrasted to the exact same period previous year, it includes.
To that end, the firm has actually improved its forecast, with total investment sales currently predicted to go in between $28 billion and $30 billion.
The pick-up in purchases was pushed by land parcels awarded under the Government Land Sales (GLS) program. Seven residential sites, one commercial and housing location, and four industrial sites were awarded in 3Q2025 for an overall of nearly $4.15 billion, up roughly 242% q-o-q.
Colliers projects full-year investment sales to range between $29 billion to $32 billion, that represents a development of 10% to 20% y-o-y. “Expecting 2026, emerging investment classes such as co-living and workers’ dorms are positioned to become vital growth operators,” it includes.
