The 1.4% rise in private home prices is significant because it came in a quarter with fewer launches and lower transaction volumes. This tells us that buyer demand has not disappeared. Instead, they have become more selective, but are still prepared to commit when the right product is launched at the right price.

One structural trend that is becoming increasingly important is the transfer of housing wealth between generations. We are seeing older homeowners right-size and unlock equity from properties that have appreciated significantly, while some younger buyers receive family support for their first or next home.

According to flash estimates released by URA for 3Q 2026, the All-Residential Property Price Index rose by 1.4% quarter-on-quarter (q-o-q), higher than the to 0.5% increase in the previous quarter.

“Demand may also have extended to HDB upgraders from nearby mature estates such as Queenstown, where rising flat values have strengthened some households’ capacity to transition into private housing.

In 1H 2026, 120 flats in Queenstown transacted for at least $1 million, compared with 173 such transactions for the whole of 2025, pointing to an expanding pool of potential upgraders within the project’s broader catchment.”

In July 2026, the new private home market saw a total of 731 units (excluding ECs) sold following the debut of two major projects, Dunearn House and Lentor Gardens Residences. This marks a 368.6% month-on-month (m-o-m) jump in transaction volume, up from the 156 units sold in June.

Dear owners,

*2Q 2026 Landed Report*

The overall proportion of landed home transactions remained relatively stable, with one notable shift. There was an increase in transactions within the $5 million to $7.5 million range, which rose from 33.2% in 1Q 2026 to 40.2% in 2Q 2026.

Conversely, the $2.5 million to $5 million range declined from 40.5% to 36.3%, and the $10 million to $12.5 million range decreased significantly from 6.5% to 3.3%.

Most of the transaction increase was driven by homes priced at $5 million and above. The volume for homes in the $2.5 million to $5 million range remained almost unchanged, increasing slightly from 182 to 189 units.

Typically, condo upgraders preferred landed homes in a lower price range, but sellers may have raised asking prices, reducing options for upgraders in that segment.

The landed home market remained resilient in 2Q 2026, with prices rising 2.5% quarter-over-quarter.

Today, I'm bringing you to Meyer Blue, one of District 15's most exciting freehold luxury developments.

Freehold homes along Meyer Road are becoming increasingly rare, making this a unique opportunity for buyers seeking both prestige and long-term value.

Today, we're looking at the 4-bedroom and 5-bedroom residences.

Over the past few years, I've noticed one clear trend: affluent buyers are prioritising space over location. Many have told me, "I can compromise on location, but I cannot compromise on space."

Meyer Blue delivers exactly that with generous living areas, functional layouts and beautifully designed family homes.

Beyond the home itself, Meyer Road remains one of Singapore's most prestigious residential addresses. You're minutes from Marina Bay, the C*D and East Coast Park, yet surrounded by a peaceful, exclusive neighbourhood.

With most new launches today being 99-year leasehold, owning a freehold home in such a prime location is becoming increasingly rare.

If you're looking for a luxury family home, a coastal lifestyle and a prestigious freehold address, Meyer Blue deserves your attention.

I'm Chris Chua from ERA. If you'd like a private presentation or an exclusive viewing of Meyer Blue, feel free to contact me.
