The Real Skyler

EC cooling measures just got tighter for 2nd timers 😮‍💨The window of opportunity is closing fast, and waiting could mean higher costs + fewer options moving forward.

Big congrats to those who moved early and locked in prices under the old policy 👏 The new changes definitely make it tougher for new buyers and especially 2nd timers to enter the market.

If you’re still sitting on the fence, HMU. The opportunity cost of waiting is real and the longer you wait, the more your options get diluted.

Quick takeaway? The market is cooling… but in a good way.

• HDB & private prices are growing at multi-year lows
• Buyers are more price-sensitive and selective
• Transactions show demand is still very much alive
• High-end market remains cautious, but long-term value holds

👉 We’re entering a “Goldilocks phase” - not too hot, not too cold. Where price stability meets sustained demand, creating clearer decision-making conditions for buyers, sellers and investors.

$2,000 psf for an EC?! 🤔

Last month’s transaction at Hundred Palms Residences not only yielded the highest profit ever for the EC, but also marked the first resale EC to cross the $2,000 psf threshold.

I dropped by the development recently - simple design, but very well-maintained. Still, it’s impressive to see this price level happening so soon, especially considering:
✅ Long 90-year balance lease
✅ Sought-after schools nearby
✅ Very limited EC supply in the area — even rarer for 5 bedders
❌ No MRT/LRT nearby, and none coming up

Interestingly, average resale prices for Hundred Palms, other ECs in D19, and even islandwide are still significantly below this mark.

So... is there more room for ECs to grow? All things constant — probably yes. With supportive growth policies and healthy supply & demand, there’s real potential.

Curious how this could impact your property plans? Let’s chat! Hit me up and I’ll walk you through your options.

This is the EC’s first transaction to cross the $2,000 psf threshold

With such overwhelming interest, are you missing something that others are seeing? 🧐

February 2025 saw a remarkable surge in new home sales, reaching a 9-year high. This boom is largely thanks to the successful launches of Parktown Residence in Tampines and ELTA in Clementi.

Parktown Residence, an integrated development, sold a whopping 1,041 units at a median price of $2,363 psf. Its appeal lies in its direct access to amenities like a retail mall, the upcoming Tampines North MRT station, and a bus interchange. Similarly, ELTA moved 326 units at a median price of $2,538 psf, benefiting from its prime location in the mature Clementi estate.

These developments highlight the strong demand for well-located, amenity-rich housing options. It’s encouraging to see such positive momentum in our property market, reflecting both buyer confidence and the appeal of thoughtfully planned communities.

For those considering a move or investment, now is a great time to explore these opportunities.

1月的数据确实令人鼓舞，显示2025年开局强劲。The Orie和One Bernam的成功表明，对于位置优越、价值主张强的项目仍有强劲需求。

然而，我们不应过度解读单月数据。销售的大幅增长部分是由于年末淡季后的积压需求和The Orie的及时推出。

话虽如此，利率趋缓是市场的积极信号。这可能会鼓励更多之前犹豫不决的买家进入市场。即将在各区推出的新项目将测试这种需求的广度。

对投资者和购房者来说，这可能是探索机会的好时机，特别是在我们看到活动增加的市区重建局（RCR）和外围地区（OCR）。但是，和往常一样，在做决定之前，仔细考虑位置、开发商往绩和长期增长潜力等因素至关重要。

我们需要密切关注接下来几个月的情况，看看这一趋势是否会持续，以及可能会受到任何潜在降温措施或经济变化的影响。

Market Update: Q3 2024 Real Estate Trends in Singapore

As we step into October, I wanted to share some intriguing trends in the Singapore real estate market that could impact your buying or selling decisions:

⬇️ Private Home Prices Decline: Overall private home prices fell by 1.1% in Q3 2024, marking the first decline since Q2 2023. This drop is attributed to weaker sales and fewer new launches during the quarter. However, prices are still up 1.1% year-to-date.

⬆️ HDB Resale Prices Surge: In contrast, HDB resale flat prices saw a robust increase of 2.5% in Q3, continuing a strong upward trend with a cumulative rise of 6.8% for the year so far. A total of 8,035 flats were resold in this quarter alone, indicating healthy demand. The impact of the HDB’s latest cooling measures remains to be seen. 🤔

⬆️ Million-Dollar Flats on the Rise: The number of million-dollar HDB flats sold hit a record high, with 328 units transacted in Q3 2024. In the first nine months of the year, 747 flats changed hands over the million-dollar threshold, compared to just 469 for all of 2023.

✅ HDB Resale Market: While million-dollar flats remain a small proportion of overall sales, flats sold for more than S$600,000 now account for over half of all transactions, up from 45.7% previously. The average price for four-room flats rose by 3.4% to S$638,205, while five-room flats saw a smaller increase of 1.5% to S$734,488.
