Propnex Proposes Policy Shifts Support Housing Market Ahead Singapore Budget 2026

PropNex Realty’s Recommendations Ahead of Singapore Budget 2026

As Singapore anticipates the upcoming Budget 2026 announcement in February, real estate giant PropNex Realty has put forth a series of recommendations intended to bolster market stability, enhance housing accessibility, and promote urban renewal. These suggestions aim to modify existing real estate policies to better align with the current market conditions and future needs.

In a recent statement, Kelvin Fong, CEO of PropNex, highlighted the opportunity that the Budget presents for refining policies that could better serve the real estate market and the broader community.

Singapore Condo projects could potentially benefit from some of these policy adjustments, particularly those aimed at increasing market liquidity and encouraging urban renewal, which are central to maintaining the vibrancy and competitiveness of Singapore’s real estate landscape.

Adjustments to ABSD Rates and Developer Policies

One of the key recommendations from PropNex is the reduction of the Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty (ABSD) rate for foreign buyers of ultra-luxury non-landed homes worth $10 million or more in the Core Central Region (CCR). The current ABSD rate, which was increased to 60% in April 2023 to dampen speculative purchasing, could be adjusted back to 30% for this specific segment, fostering liquidity without impacting local housing competition.

Furthermore, PropNex suggests extending the ABSD remission deadlines for developers of large residential plots, proposing a new timeline of seven years for projects over 80,000 sq m. This adjustment would provide developers more flexibility in marketing their units, potentially leading to more ambitious and innovative housing projects.

Enhancements to Executive Condominium Policies

The firm also addresses concerns in the Executive Condominium (EC) market, advocating for an increase in the Mortgage Servicing Ratio (MSR) from 30% to 40% for new EC purchases. This change is suggested in response to the sharp 88% rise in new EC prices from 2013 to 2025, which has significantly outpaced the increase in HDB resale prices. Additionally, PropNex recommends raising the monthly household income ceiling for new EC buyers gradually from $16,000 to as much as $20,000 to alleviate the financial burden on potential buyers.

Supporting Urban Renewal and Homeownership

To further support urban renewal initiatives, PropNex has proposed reducing the statutory consent threshold for collective sales under the Land Titles (Strata) Act to 70% for private residential developments that are at least 40 years old. This would facilitate the redevelopment of aging properties, incorporating modern, senior-friendly designs and enhanced community facilities.

Additionally, PropNex calls for the abolition of the 15-month waiting period for private homeowners who wish to purchase HDB resale flats. With the stabilization of HDB resale prices and transaction volumes, lifting this restriction could improve housing affordability and fluidity in the resale market.

Kelvin Fong emphasizes that through careful adjustments to existing policies, Singapore can maintain housing affordability, encourage responsible homeownership, and ensure the long-term resilience of the residential property market.

Hdb Supplying 19600 Bto Flats 2026 Spread Over Three Sales Exercises

Upcoming HDB BTO Launches Set to Meet Increasing Demand

In a recent development, the Housing and Development Board (HDB) of Singapore has unveiled its plans to release 19,600 Build-To-Order (BTO) flats throughout the upcoming year. These launches, scheduled for February, June, and October, are part of HDB’s strategy to introduce 55,000 new flats into the market from 2025 to 2027, aiming to satisfy the burgeoning housing demand.

For those interested in Singapore’s residential market, the planned BTO flats include locations such as Ang Mo Kio, Bukit Merah, Sembawang, Toa Payoh, Tampines, Woodlands, and Yishun. These areas are noted for their diverse range of housing options, including Standard, Plus, and Prime BTO flats. For more insights and comparisons in the dynamic Singapore condo market, one might consider visiting Singapore Condo, a project that provides an in-depth look at condominium offerings across the city.

Impact on Market Dynamics

Eugene Lim, a key executive officer at ERA Singapore, remarks that this robust pipeline of new flats is anticipated to stabilize and sustain HDB price growth. He recalls the year 2025, when nearly 30,000 BTO and sales of balance flats were issued, significantly easing the pressure on the resale market. HDB’s recent estimates showed a modest 2.9% growth in resale prices in 2025.

Lim further asserts that the upcoming availability of over 11,000 3-room and larger flats, upon completion of their minimum occupation periods, is likely to shift some demand from the resale to the new sales market, thereby offering buyers a broader array of housing options.

Future Projections and Expectations

According to Mark Yip, CEO of Huttons Asia, the projected annual supply of BTO flats for the years 2026 and 2027 will see a slight reduction compared to 2025. This makes the increased allocation of 19,600 flats for 2026 crucial to meet the heightened demand and maintain market equilibrium. In the first launch of the year in February, 4,000 flats are expected to be made available, accounting for 20% of this year’s total BTO supply. Notably, high interest is anticipated in prime areas such as Ang Mo Kio, Toa Payoh, and Bukit Merah.

This strategic expansion in the number of BTO flats, especially in sought-after locations, is designed to directly address the specific needs of various homebuyers, ensuring a steady and balanced residential market in Singapore.

Residential Development Plot Seraya Road Sale 19 Mil

Public Tender Launched for Residential Land in District 15

A residential plot at 17 Seraya Road in District 15 has recently been put up for sale through a public tender. This land, which is nestled off Haig Road, encompasses an area of 11,956 sq ft and is listed with a guide price of $19 million, equating to approximately $1,157 per sq ft per plot ratio. This price also includes land betterment charges according to Knight Frank Singapore, the real estate firm handling the sale.

The plot is optimally located in a tranquil residential area just off East Coast Road, surrounded by various housing types including landed properties, low-rise buildings, and upcoming condominium projects like Singapore Condo, Tembusu Grand, and Emerald of Katong. The locality boasts proximity to several shopping centers, including i12 Katong, Katong Shopping Centre, and Parkway Parade, in addition to being near East Coast Park and multiple educational institutions such as Haig Girls’ School and Tanjong Katong Primary School within a 1km range.

Details on Development Potential

Under the 2025 Master Plan, the site at 17 Seraya Road is designated for residential development with a gross plot ratio of 1.4. This allows for the potential construction of a boutique residential project, which could feature around 13 units each averaging 100 sq m, pending approvals from the necessary authorities.

Market Prospects and Closing Date

According to Mary Sai, the executive director for capital markets at Knight Frank Singapore, the property is under a single legal title and is expected to draw significant attention from developers. The favorable family-centric environment and strong location are likely to attract developers interested in meeting the growing demand from young families in the area. The deadline for tender submissions is set for February 3rd at 3 PM.

More Luxury Condos Breach 6000 Psf 2025

Record-Breaking Property Deals Set New Highs in Singapore’s Real Estate Market

The real estate scene in Singapore has seen significant activity this year, particularly with a notable transaction at Park Nova, where a duplex penthouse was sold for a staggering $38.89 million. This sale not only stands out due to its size of 5,899 sq ft but also marked a near-record price per square foot (psf) of $6,593, making it the second highest in the local condo market’s history.

The transaction at Park Nova was not an isolated event but part of a broader trend in which several high-priced sales were recorded across the city. This year alone, five out of eleven condo transactions exceeding $6,000 psf have occurred, highlighting a robust interest in luxury living spaces.

For those interested in similar upscale residential properties, Singapore Condo offers insights and listings that can guide potential buyers through the high-end segments of Singapore’s real estate market.

Prime Locations Commanding Premium Prices

The allure of properties within the Core Central Region (CCR) continues to drive up prices. Developments like Park Nova, Skywaters Residences, and Sculptura Ardmore not only achieved new high psf-prices but are also strategically located within this coveted area. For instance, Park Nova itself, a boutique development situated on Tomlinson Road, consists of 54 units with a mix of lavish apartments and penthouses, emphasizing luxury living at its peak.

Skywaters Residences also made headlines with a high-profile sale of a three-bedroom unit which fetched $11.69 million, or $6,501 psf. Set to include luxury hotel amenities and high-end retail spaces, this development reflects the growing trend of integrated living spaces with premium facilities.

The High-End Market’s Continued Appeal

Another notable development, Sculptura Ardmore, saw its own record-breaking sale with a four-bedroom unit reaching $20 million in price, or $6,193 psf, surpassing its previous sales record. Located in District 10, this freehold condo is known for its spacious units and proximity to essential amenities, making it a highly sought-after address.

While the high-end market flourishes, the opposite is true for certain older properties in less central areas. For example, Mayfair Park witnessed a record low in psf price, with a unit selling for just $447 psf. This trend is reflective of a broader market dynamic where older, leasehold properties in the Outside Central Region (OCR) are seeing lesser demand compared to their newer, centrally located counterparts.

Looking Ahead

As the year progresses, the real estate market in Singapore continues to evolve. High-end condos in prime districts consistently fetch top dollar, underscoring the premium that buyers place on location and luxury. Meanwhile, the market for older properties in less sought-after areas adjusts to a more modest pricing structure. These trends provide valuable insights for both potential buyers and investors in navigating the complexities of Singapore’s diverse property landscape.

Condo GLS Residences are residential projects in Singapore developed through the Government Land Sales (GLS) programme. These developments are among the most sought-after because of their strategic locations, modern architecture, and alignment with the nation’s urban planning goals. With proximity to MRT stations, top schools, key expressways, and established shopping centres, these residences attract both homeowners and investors alike. Each site is carefully released to trusted developers, ensuring quality design and construction standards. The latest development would be Pinery Residences at Tampines. The latest to launch is also Narra Residences at Dairy Farm Walk.

What is the GLS Programme?

The GLS programme was designed by the Urban Redevelopment Authority to allocate land parcels for private developers. Sites released under GLS are highly competitive and located in prime areas such as Holland Plain, Tampines, Pasir Ris, and Kallang. By participating in the GLS tender process, developers bring innovative residential concepts to life while ensuring they align with the URA Master Plan.

Condo GLS Residences Location

Condo GLS Residences enjoy some of the most strategic and desirable locations across Singapore. Every land parcel released under the Government Land Sales (GLS) programme is carefully selected by the Urban Redevelopment Authority to align with long-term planning and community needs. This ensures that buyers are not just purchasing a home but also gaining access to a well-connected neighbourhood with excellent transport options, close proximity to schools, thriving shopping centres, and recreational hubs. Location is one of the strongest value propositions of any GLS project, and it directly enhances both livability and investment potential.

Centrality and Urban Convenience

Most Condo GLS Residences are situated in well-developed districts such as District 10 (Holland), District 14 (Geylang), District 15 (East Coast), and District 18 (Tampines and Pasir Ris). These locations are chosen to offer residents quick access to the Central Business District while maintaining the comforts of suburban living. Residents can enjoy seamless commutes to Marina Bay, Orchard Road, or Bugis while still returning home to tranquil and green residential enclaves.

Proximity to MRT Stations

A key feature of GLS condos is their proximity to MRT stations. Examples include projects near Kallang MRT Station on the East-West Line, Tampines West MRT Station on the Downtown Line, or Holland Village MRT Station on the Circle Line. Having a station within walking distance provides residents with unmatched convenience and enhances property desirability. Daily commutes are faster, and the value of homes near MRT lines tends to remain resilient even during market fluctuations.

Accessibility to Major Expressways

Condo GLS Residences are strategically located near key expressways. Residents enjoy convenient access to the Pan Island Expressway (PIE), Central Expressway (CTE), Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway (KPE), and Tampines Expressway (TPE). For those who drive, this translates to shorter journeys to employment nodes like Changi Business Park, Jurong Lake District, or the CBD. Accessibility is one of the main reasons these residences appeal to a wide demographic of buyers.

Neighbourhood Amenities and Shopping

The neighbourhoods chosen for GLS projects are rich in amenities. Many are within close reach of large shopping centres such as Tampines Mall, Downtown East, Bugis Junction, and VivoCity. These malls not only provide retail therapy but also house supermarkets, cinemas, family entertainment zones, and popular food outlets. This enhances the liveability of each location, allowing residents to meet daily needs just minutes away from home.

Education and Schools Nearby

Families are particularly attracted to Condo GLS Residences because of their proximity to reputable schools. Depending on the project location, nearby institutions may include Raffles Institution, St. Joseph’s Institution, Temasek Polytechnic, Nanyang Junior College, and even tertiary institutions like National University of Singapore (NUS). Such accessibility ensures that children can attend quality schools without long daily commutes.

Recreational Spaces and Lifestyle

Locations of GLS condos are also chosen for their proximity to parks, waterfronts, and lifestyle hubs. For example, projects near East Coast Park allow residents to enjoy cycling and seaside activities, while those near Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park offer green respite from city living. The lifestyle element enhances not only the well-being of residents but also the long-term desirability of the property.

Condo GLS Residences Site Plan

The site plan of Condo GLS Residences plays a critical role in defining the quality of life for its residents. Beyond the bedrooms and interiors, the overall arrangement of blocks, communal spaces, landscaping, and recreational facilities reflects the developer’s vision of a complete lifestyle community. With land parcels released under the Government Land Sales programme, layouts are designed not only to maximize efficiency but also to integrate greenery, connectivity, and sustainable living features.

Condo GLS Residences Efficient Block Layouts

Condo GLS Residences often feature multiple residential blocks arranged strategically around central communal spaces. This ensures maximum ventilation, natural lighting, and privacy for each unit. Towers are typically oriented to capture scenic views of nearby landmarks such as parks, waterfronts, or city skylines. Importantly, developers also consider noise buffers by placing buildings further away from major roads or expressways, creating a tranquil environment within the compound.

Central Facilities Hub

The heart of most GLS condos lies in the central facilities hub. This area typically includes a 50-metre lap pool, children’s wading pools, water play zones, and sun decks for relaxation. Residents also benefit from a clubhouse, function rooms, and BBQ pavilions that encourage community bonding. The site plan often ensures that these facilities are centrally placed, easily accessible from all bedrooms across the blocks.

Landscaped Gardens and Greenery

One of the strengths of a well-thought-out site plan is the integration of lush landscaping. Condo GLS Residences are designed with themed gardens, green walkways, and wellness zones that promote relaxation. Developers often include sky terraces, rooftop gardens, and jogging tracks around the site, creating a holistic balance between modern architecture and nature. Families enjoy open lawns for recreation, while fitness enthusiasts benefit from outdoor gym areas and yoga decks.

Family-Friendly Spaces

For families, the site plan includes child-friendly zones such as playgrounds, interactive water features, and learning corners. Safety is a priority, with these areas placed away from main driveways. Close proximity to schools and childcare facilities in the neighbourhood complements these on-site features, giving parents greater peace of mind.

Car Parks and Accessibility

Basement and multi-storey car parks are incorporated into the site plan to ensure sufficient parking spaces for residents and visitors. Drop-off points are strategically located near each block for convenience. Direct connections from car parks to lift lobbies provide sheltered access to all bedrooms, regardless of weather conditions. Accessibility features such as ramps and wider pathways cater to elderly residents and those with mobility needs.

Sports and Wellness Facilities

GLS condos focus strongly on wellness, with gyms, tennis courts, multi-purpose courts, and cycling tracks forming an integral part of the site layout. The developer ensures that recreational spaces are spread throughout the site, so that residents of all ages and fitness levels can enjoy an active lifestyle within the compound itself.

Security and Privacy

The site plan also emphasizes safety. Guardhouses, 24/7 security systems, and access-controlled entry points are positioned at main entrances. Pedestrian walkways are designed to minimize interaction with vehicular traffic, making the environment safer for children and elderly. Perimeter planting and block positioning also enhance privacy for ground-floor and corner-unit residents.

Sustainability Features

Modern Condo GLS Residences adopt sustainable design within their site plans. Solar panels, rainwater harvesting systems, and energy-efficient lighting reduce the environmental footprint. Green roofs and vertical gardens provide insulation, while recycling stations promote eco-conscious living. The integration of these features ensures that the residence supports Singapore’s long-term environmental goals.

Integration with Surrounding Neighbourhood

Another important element of the site plan is how it links to the surrounding neighbourhood. Walkways often connect to nearby MRT stations, bus stops, and park connectors. Close proximity to shopping centres, schools, and community hubs adds to the convenience, making the residence not just self-sufficient but also seamlessly integrated into the larger urban fabric.
