# Why some young Singaporeans are opting out of the homeownership path - **Source:** EdgeProp Singapore - **Published:** 2026-08-05T12:01:31.000Z - **Author:** Fiona Lam - **Original:** https://www.edgeprop.sg/property-news/why-some-young-singaporeans-are-opting-out-homeownership-path - **Topics:** Market Updates ## Featured rationale This shift signals rising demand for flexible, serviced accommodation and could broaden the long-stay tenant base while easing purchase urgency among some younger buyers. ## AI summary A small but growing cohort of higher-income Singaporeans aged 20 to 40 is deliberately choosing long-term renting, co-living or other flexible arrangements over homeownership. ## Original article [object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object] They earn well, have healthy savings and could easily be putting a deposit on a home right now — but they are not. In most conversations around Singapore property, those who do not own are assumed to be either saving up, waiting for the right moment or priced out. A small but growing cohort of higher-income locals in their 20s to 40s belong to none of these categories. They have looked at the homeownership path and decided it is not for them.

Ownership as the norm In Singapore, owning a home has meant more than having a roof over one’s head. It is widely seen as a milestone of success and independence, and a source of financial and psychological security. The idea of homeownership is "quite ingrained" as a status marker of adulthood and financial or social independence, as well as an ideological marker of one’s urban and national status in Singapore, says George Wong, assistant professor of sociology at the Singapore Management University (SMU). That is reflected in the nationwide homeownership rate, which has hovered at around 90% for years — among the highest in the world. Over decades, this has given rise to a familiar trajectory: a couple ties the knot, buys a flat, starts a family, and, as incomes rise, upgrades to private property. For many, that has served them well. But a younger generation is gradually finding value in other routes to a secure, fulfilling life.

While a minority, this subset is "very diverse and highly agentic", with a wide range of motivations and circumstances around why they choose not to own, says Wong. Some are long-term renters in private residential properties, content to pay for flexibility instead of committing capital. Others prefer co-living for its furnished and community-oriented spaces. A number live in serviced apartments or hotels on extended stays, prioritising the comfort and convenience of fully serviced living, premium amenities and a central location. Some remain in the family home — valuing the lifestyle, space and close relationships it affords. Then, there are globe-trotting professionals and digital nomads who split their time between Singapore and elsewhere, alongside those who own property abroad but rent while in Singapore. More generally, many younger HENRYs ("high earners, not rich yet") — typically under 40 and earning $10,000 to $15,000 a month — have the financial flexibility to put homeownership on the back burner. SMU's Wong reckons they may only begin thinking about a purchase when certain life milestones fall into place: a committed relationship, marriage or starting a family.

How they make it work Megan*, a single professional in her 30s, has not had a permanent address for nearly a decade. She lives in a rotation of luxury hotels in Singapore and abroad, enrolled in loyalty programmes or using friends-and-family discounted rates. That gives her housekeeping, hotel amenities, dining privileges, room upgrades and other perks, including at affiliated properties overseas. She travels light and moves often. Her larger, more valuable belongings sit in a self-storage unit. "I basically live out of a suitcase. It’s minimalist, clutter-free and I get to see the world," Megan says. At the other end of the spectrum, Sarah* and her husband, entrepreneurs in their early 30s, share a bungalow in Singapore’s east with five friends. The setup suits the couple even though a HDB flat or small condo is well within their means. They travel frequently, enjoy the company of their housemates and have just renewed the lease for another two years. "We love our living arrangement because it’s affordable and fun," says Sarah. Pooling resources as a large group also helps them unlock more space, and a bigger house is "always a luxury", she adds. Then there is Terence* and his wife, both in the creative industry and in their early 40s, who bought and refurbished an akiya (empty house) in Japan’s countryside but are renting in Singapore on shorter leases. They travel between the two countries several times a year, spending the cooler months in rural Japan, where they are enamoured by the natural beauty, fresh produce and slower pace of life. When back in Singapore, they rent out the house in Japan to vacationers for additional income. As a DINK ("dual income, no kids") couple, they do not necessarily need a permanent home in Singapore. "We have the freedom and flexibility to design how we want to live. Down the road, we plan to retire in Japan," Terence says. Different as these arrangements are, the common thread is not a rejection of property ownership per se — one couple owns a home, after all. What they share is intentionality: instead of falling back on Singapore’s default housing playbook, they have actively chosen their own starting point. Co-living as a long-term choice Many turn to co-living spaces and serviced residences, giving operators a window into this segment of financially comfortable, long-stay residents. At co-living properties run by The Assembly Place (TAP), Singaporeans and permanent residents (PRs) make up a smaller share of the overall tenant mix, relative to expatriates. The majority are working professionals. Roughly half of them stay for more than a year, "usually those that have opted for co-living by choice and prefer to stay independently", observes Eugene Lim, TAP executive director and CEO. “For high-income young locals who are financially capable of buying a home but have chosen not to, co-living offers a high-quality lifestyle without the capital commitment or illiquidity of property ownership,” he says. “Some just prefer the independence of living on their own terms and not being tied down to a mortgage or a location,” Lim adds. Most of them are singles, which also reflects the broader demographic in the co-living sector. TAP’s longer-staying locals tend to go for studio-style units, which offer a more self-contained living experience. Some singles and couples prefer private en suite rooms. The typical price ranges between $1,500 and $3,000 per month depending on room type, location and household needs. “They tend to be driven by proximity to their workplace or family rather than any particular district,” Lim says. Community events, shared social spaces and opportunities to extend their network are also key selling points. “It’s something you simply don’t get in a private rental,” he notes. Many TAP members start off by signing a short-term lease of around three months to try co-living, before extending the lease when they build genuine connections and find meaning in the community. Utilities, WiFi and general upkeep are bundled into the monthly rent. Lease terms are also more flexible than a standard tenancy, "which matters a lot to people who aren’t ready to lock in, or simply don't want to", Lim adds. Heritage homes and serviced living Another co-living firm, Figment — which runs art-infused boutique homes within conserved shophouses in heritage neighbourhoods — has noticed Singaporeans and PRs becoming a meaningful and growing slice of its members. They make up roughly 20% of its long-stay residents and typically stay for six to 12 months, going by Figment's estimates. "A few years ago, this segment was almost entirely expats on company packages,” says Fang Low, founder and CEO of Figment. "The local share has climbed as more young professionals treat renting as a deliberate lifestyle choice, not a holding pattern before buying." Locals, predominantly singles and couples, gravitate towards Figment’s shophouse homes in central heritage neighbourhoods such as Emerald Hill and Jalan Besar, where the character of the building is the draw. “Most of our members come to us because they want a beautiful base in the city rather than another box on the housing ladder,” Low shares. Monthly rents for this profile typically run from $3,000 to $4,000. Private en suite studios, with access to the shared living, kitchen and courtyard spaces, are the most popular. Besides the move-in-ready convenience, Low says the appeal also lies in the character of shophouses in walkable heritage districts — close to food, transport and workplaces, along with the sense of belonging and cultural programming. “A conserved shophouse with real heritage beats a generic condo unit for the same money,” he adds. “And for this profile, where they live is part of their identity." Meanwhile, extended-stay demand is showing up across Hong Leong Group’s serviced residence and hotel properties. At Le Grove Serviced Residences, a wholly owned subsidiary of City Developments, about 6% of guests staying for more than a year are Singaporeans or PRs. They are drawn to its range of fully furnished units, from studios to three-bedroom duplex apartments, says a Hong Leong Group spokesperson. City Developments' hospitality arm, Millennium Hotels and Resorts, also continues to see sustained demand for long-stay accommodation across its Singapore properties such as La Residenza, Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel Singapore, and M Hotel Singapore City Centre. “These long-stay guests appreciate the convenience of serviced living, with housekeeping, recreational facilities and easy access to business districts and public transport,” the spokesperson adds. A decade ago, the infrastructure for this kind of lifestyle barely existed at scale in Singapore. As the co-living and hospitality sectors have matured, their offerings have become more varied and sophisticated. That is making voluntary long-term renting a more viable and appealing lifestyle choice for younger locals. Family structures and housing priorities The rise of alternative housing routes also reflects changing household and family structures. More are staying single for longer, marrying later, or not at all. DINK couples; lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) individuals; and others who fall outside the traditional mould of marriage and parenthood are a growing presence. Existing housing options do not always cater easily to these varied circumstances. Tan Ern Ser, adjunct principal research fellow and academic adviser, Social Lab, at the Institute of Policy Studies (IPS), notes that across different household profiles, the desire to own a home largely remains. Build-To-Order flats are still affordable, especially with the significant government grants available. However, age and income ceiling eligibility restrictions apply to HDB flat purchases, while resale flats have become more expensive and private homes are “easily in the millions”, Tan highlights. The result is that some may face a narrower set of options, despite having the financial capacity to purchase a home. SMU’s Wong similarly points out that many Singaporeans still highly value the affordability and cost-effectiveness that flats provide as an accessible pathway towards homeownership. "On that front, there will be stronger public appetite for reviews of housing eligibility policies such as the age floors for singles and income ceilings for higher-income individuals in the foreseeable future," he says. Intergenerational wealth and housing security are also at play. More young Singaporeans today have parents who already own larger homes or multiple properties, Wong notes. For some, this reduces the urgency and pressure to move out and secure a place of their own. "Thus, what we may anticipate would be more young people bucking the trend of being motivated to simply settle down earlier," Wong says. A case in point is Rachel*, an LGBTQ individual in her early 30s who works in a senior role in the professional services sector. With no plans to marry, she has chosen to continue living with her parents, citing their close family ties, and the space and privacy their apartment provides. Although she had initially considered buying a resale flat, she would only become eligible at age 35 as a single. Homeownership has since ceased to be a priority. "I'd rather put my savings and CPF monies into other investments," Rachel says. Where finances fit in Such financial considerations — alongside lifestyle preferences, practical constraints and differing aspirations around homeownership — also influence why some decide not to buy even when they have the means to do so. Christopher Tan, group CEO of wealth advisory firm Providend, reckons that from a wealth-building angle, renting can make more financial sense when the cost of owning is high relative to the rental alternative, when flexibility has real value, or when the person can invest the difference productively in a diversified portfolio instead of tying everything up in one property. “This is especially relevant if buying would cause the household to become 'house poor' or leave them unable to invest elsewhere," he says. Besides, the idea that renting is always wasteful is too simplistic. "Renting is paying for flexibility, not throwing money away," Tan notes. "Buying is not pure 'saving' either, because ownership comes with interest costs, maintenance, taxes, insurance, renovation costs and high transaction friction,” he adds. Market conditions can also tilt the balance in favour of either renting or buying. Wong notes that when the pandemic fuelled a spike in residential rents, more young people actually chose to buy homes, particularly private properties, as it generally made more financial sense than renting during that period. Now, with rents having stabilised, that pressure to own homes has eased. Meanwhile, Tan from IPS says that those who choose to rent have likely weighed their lifestyle priorities and other financial commitments, and may have other ways of growing their money. But he cautions that the rental route also presents potential challenges. There could be "other concerns relating to privacy, costs, length of lease and landlord issues", Tan says. More ways to call Singapore home It is safe to say that homeownership will continue to be the default housing aspiration for Singaporeans for the foreseeable future. But changing household structures, more diverse rental options and evolving lifestyle priorities mean it is no longer the only path that can make sense. For operators in the living sector, this is a customer segment with different expectations — seeking more than a temporary place to stay, but homes that support how they want to live. For those pursuing a different housing path, forgoing a property purchase can be a deliberate long-term choice rather than a stopgap. Among the next generation entering the housing market, the idea of what a home can look like is becoming more varied — with flexibility, convenience and lifestyle sometimes outweighing the traditional pull of homeownership. *Names have been changed to protect their privacy. ## Chinese translation > Translation model: openai_codex_cli ### 为什么一些年轻新加坡人选择退出置业路径 并非所有较高收入本地人都在买房。有些人长期租房、选择共居、与父母同住，或把时间分配在海外。 [object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object] 他们收入不错、储蓄健康，现在完全可以轻松支付购房首期，但他们并没有这么做。 在围绕新加坡房地产的大多数讨论中，没有置业的人通常被认为是在存钱、等待合适时机，或被房价挡在门外。 一小部分但不断增长的20多岁至40多岁较高收入本地人并不属于这些类别。他们审视过置业路径，并决定这并不适合自己。 另读：为原居安老而设计的住宅包含哪些元素 虽然没有关于这一群体规模的官方数据，但与业内人士以及向EdgeProp Singapore分享经历的本地人交流后可见，这是一个明确但仍属小众的群体。 置业作为常态 在新加坡，拥有住房的意义不只是有瓦遮头。它被广泛视为成功和独立的里程碑，也是财务和心理安全感的来源。 新加坡管理大学（SMU）社会学助理教授George Wong表示，置业观念作为成年以及财务或社会独立的身份标记，也作为个人在新加坡城市和国家地位的意识形态标记，已经“相当根深蒂固”。 这反映在全国置业率上，该比率多年来一直徘徊在约90%，位居全球最高之列。 数十年来，这形成了一条熟悉的轨迹：一对伴侣结婚、买组屋、组建家庭，随着收入增加，再升级到私人住宅。 对许多人而言，这条路径让他们受益良多。但年轻一代正逐渐在通往安全、充实生活的其他路径中发现价值。 另读：随着新加坡年轻居民寻求灵活租赁选择，更多元化住房类型或将出现 谁在以不同方式生活 走出传统路径的人并不是一个同质化群体。 Wong表示，虽然他们只是少数，但这一子群体“非常多元且高度自主”，其选择不置业的动机和处境各不相同。 有些人是私人住宅物业的长期租户，愿意为灵活性付费，而不是投入资本。 其他人偏好共居，因为其空间配有家具且以社区为导向。还有一些人长期住在服务式公寓或酒店，优先考虑全服务式居住的舒适与便利、高端设施和核心位置。 有些人仍留在家庭住宅中，重视这种生活方式、空间和亲密关系所带来的价值。 此外，还有环球奔走的专业人士和数字游民，他们把时间分配在新加坡和其他地方之间；也有人在海外拥有物业，但在新加坡租房居住。 更广泛而言，许多年轻HENRYs（“high earners, not rich yet”，即高收入但尚未富裕者）通常年龄在40岁以下，月收入为新币10,000至新币15,000，有财务灵活性把置业放到次要位置。 SMU的Wong认为，他们可能只有在某些人生里程碑到位时，才会开始考虑购房，例如稳定的伴侣关系、结婚或组建家庭。 另读：Ascott于2026年上半年签署九项越南物业管理协议，预计势头将持续 其他人可能把某些财务目标或事业放在心上，而不是置业。 他们如何实现这种生活 Megan*是一名单身专业人士，30多岁，近十年来一直没有固定地址。 她轮流住在新加坡和海外的豪华酒店，加入忠诚计划或使用亲友折扣价。 这让她可以享有客房清洁、酒店设施、餐饮礼遇、房间升级和其他福利，包括海外关联物业的权益。 她轻装出行，并经常搬动。她较大、较贵重的物品放在自助仓储单位中。Megan说：“我基本上就是靠一个行李箱生活。这很极简、没有杂物，而且我能看看世界。” 在另一端，Sarah*和她的丈夫是一对30岁出头的创业者，与五位朋友合住新加坡东部的一栋洋房。 尽管HDB组屋或小型公寓完全在这对夫妇的能力范围内，但这种安排很适合他们。他们经常旅行，喜欢室友陪伴，并刚刚把租约续签了两年。 Sarah说：“我们喜欢这样的居住安排，因为它负担得起，而且有趣。”她补充说，以大群体合并资源也帮助他们获得更多空间，而更大的房子“永远是一种奢侈”。 然后是Terence*和他的妻子，两人都在创意行业，40岁出头。他们在日本乡村购买并翻新了一栋akiya（空置房屋），但在新加坡以较短租期租房。 他们一年往返两国数次，在较凉爽的月份住在日本乡村，那里自然之美、新鲜农产品和较慢生活节奏令他们着迷。 回到新加坡时，他们会把日本的房子租给度假者以获得额外收入。 作为DINK（“dual income, no kids”，即双收入无子女）夫妇，他们并不一定需要在新加坡有一个永久住所。Terence说：“我们有自由和灵活性来设计自己想要的生活方式。未来，我们计划在日本退休。” 这些安排各不相同，但共同点并不是拒绝房地产所有权本身，毕竟其中一对夫妇拥有一套住宅。 他们共同拥有的是有意为之：他们没有回到新加坡默认的住房剧本，而是主动选择了自己的起点。 共居作为长期选择 许多人转向共居空间和服务式公寓，让运营商得以观察这一财务宽裕、长期居住居民群体。 在The Assembly Place（TAP）运营的共居物业中，相对于外籍人士，新加坡人和永久居民（PRs）在整体租户组合中占比较小。大多数是职业人士。 TAP执行董事兼首席执行官Eugene Lim观察到，他们中大约一半居住超过一年，“通常是那些主动选择共居并偏好独立生活的人”。 他说：“对于有经济能力买房但选择不买的高收入年轻本地人来说，共居提供高品质生活方式，却无需承担房地产所有权的资本投入或流动性不足。” Lim补充说：“有些人只是更喜欢按自己的方式独立生活，不被按揭或地点束缚。” 他们大多是单身人士，这也反映了共居领域更广泛的人口结构。 TAP长期居住的本地人倾向选择工作室式单位，这类单位提供更自足的居住体验。一些单身人士和伴侣则偏好带私人连接浴室的房间。 典型价格介于每月新币1,500至新币3,000之间，取决于房型、地点和家庭需求。Lim说：“他们往往受工作地点或家庭距离驱动，而不是某个特定地区。” 社区活动、共享社交空间和扩展人脉的机会也是关键卖点。他指出：“这是私人租赁中根本得不到的东西。” 许多TAP会员一开始会签约约三个月的短期租约，以尝试共居，之后当他们建立真正联系并在社区中找到意义时，再延长租约。 水电、WiFi和一般维护都包含在月租中。租约条款也比标准租赁更灵活，Lim补充说，“这对那些还没准备好锁定，或根本不想锁定的人来说非常重要”。 历史住宅与服务式生活 另一家共居公司Figment在保育店屋内运营充满艺术感的精品住宅，分布于历史街区。该公司注意到，新加坡人和PRs正在成为其会员中有意义且不断增长的一部分。 根据Figment估计，他们约占长期居住居民的20%，通常居住六至12个月。 Figment创始人兼首席执行官Fang Low表示：“几年前，这一群体几乎全是享有公司配套的外籍人士。随着更多年轻专业人士把租房视为一种有意选择的生活方式，而不是买房前的等待状态，本地人占比已经上升。” 本地人主要是单身人士和伴侣，他们被Figment位于Emerald Hill和Jalan Besar等中央历史街区的店屋住宅吸引，建筑本身的特色是其吸引力所在。 Low分享说：“我们大多数会员来找我们，是因为他们想要一个位于城市中的美丽基地，而不是住房阶梯上的另一个盒子。” 这一客群的月租通常从新币3,000至新币4,000不等。带私人连接浴室的工作室单位最受欢迎，同时可使用共享客厅、厨房和庭院空间。 除了拎包入住的便利，Low表示，吸引力还在于位于可步行历史街区的店屋特色，靠近餐饮、交通和工作地点，并具有归属感和文化活动安排。 他补充说：“以同样的钱，拥有真实历史传承的保育店屋胜过普通公寓单位。对于这一客群而言，他们住在哪里是其身份的一部分。” 与此同时，长期住宿需求也出现在Hong Leong Group旗下的服务式公寓和酒店物业中。 在City Developments全资子公司Le Grove Serviced Residences，住宿超过一年的客人中约6%是新加坡人或PRs。Hong Leong Group发言人表示，他们被其从工作室到三卧复式公寓的一系列全套家具单位吸引。 City Developments的酒店业务部门Millennium Hotels and Resorts，也继续在其新加坡物业看到长期住宿需求持续存在，例如La Residenza、Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel Singapore和M Hotel Singapore City Centre。 发言人补充说：“这些长住客人欣赏服务式生活的便利，包括客房清洁、休闲设施，以及方便前往商业区和公共交通。” 十年前，新加坡几乎不存在大规模支持这种生活方式的基础设施。 随着共居和酒店业日趋成熟，其产品变得更加多样和精致。这使自愿长期租房成为对年轻本地人而言更可行、更具吸引力的生活方式选择。 家庭结构与住房优先事项 替代性住房路径的兴起，也反映了家庭和家户结构的变化。 更多人更长时间保持单身、较晚结婚，或根本不结婚。DINK夫妇；女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别和酷儿（LGBTQ）人士；以及其他不符合传统婚姻和为人父母模式的人群，正成为越来越显著的存在。 现有住房选项并不总是能轻松满足这些不同处境。 政策研究所（IPS）Social Lab兼职首席研究员兼学术顾问Tan Ern Ser指出，在不同家庭类型中，拥有住房的愿望大体仍然存在。预购组屋（Build-To-Order，BTO）仍然负担得起，尤其是在可获得显著政府津贴的情况下。 不过，购买HDB组屋受到年龄和收入顶限资格限制，而转售组屋已变得更昂贵，私人住宅则“轻易达到数百万”，Tan强调。 结果是，有些人尽管具备购房财务能力，却可能面对更狭窄的一组选项。 SMU的Wong同样指出，许多新加坡人仍高度重视组屋所提供的可负担性和成本效益，因为这是通往置业的一条可及路径。 他说：“在这方面，在可预见未来，公众对检讨住房资格政策的需求会更强，例如单身人士年龄下限和较高收入人士收入顶限。” 跨代财富和住房安全也在发挥作用。 Wong指出，如今更多年轻新加坡人的父母已经拥有较大住宅或多套物业。 对一些人来说，这降低了搬出去并确保拥有自己住处的紧迫性和压力。Wong说：“因此，我们可以预期，会有更多年轻人打破仅仅被推动更早安定下来的趋势。” Rachel*就是一个例子。她是30岁出头的LGBTQ人士，在专业服务领域担任高级职位。 由于没有结婚计划，她选择继续与父母同住，理由是家人关系亲密，以及他们的公寓提供空间和隐私。 虽然她最初曾考虑购买转售组屋，但作为单身人士，她只有到35岁才符合资格。置业此后不再是优先事项。Rachel说：“我宁愿把储蓄和CPF款项投入其他投资。” 财务因素的位置 这些财务考量，加上生活方式偏好、实际限制，以及围绕置业的不同愿望，也影响了为什么有些人即使有能力买房也决定不买。 财富咨询公司Providend集团首席执行官Christopher Tan认为，从财富建设角度看，当持有成本相对于租赁替代方案较高、灵活性具有真实价值，或个人能够把差额有效投资于多元化投资组合，而不是把一切都锁定在一套物业中时，租房可能更有财务意义。 他说：“如果买房会导致家庭变成‘house poor’，或让他们无法在其他地方投资，这一点尤其相关。” 此外，认为租房总是浪费的想法过于简单。Tan指出：“租房是在为灵活性付费，不是把钱扔掉。” 他补充说：“买房也不是纯粹的‘储蓄’，因为拥有住房伴随着利息成本、维护、税费、保险、翻新成本和高交易摩擦。” 市场状况也可能使天平倾向于租房或买房。 Wong指出，当疫情推动住宅租金飙升时，更多年轻人实际上选择买房，特别是私人住宅，因为在那个时期，这通常比租房更具财务意义。 如今，随着租金趋稳，置业压力已经缓解。 与此同时，IPS的Tan表示，选择租房的人很可能已经权衡了自己的生活方式优先事项和其他财务承诺，也可能有其他让资金增长的方式。 但他提醒，租赁路径也存在潜在挑战。Tan说，可能会有“与隐私、成本、租期长度和房东问题相关的其他担忧”。 更多称新加坡为家的方式 可以肯定的是，在可预见未来，置业将继续是新加坡人默认的住房愿望。 但家庭结构变化、更多样化的租赁选项和不断演变的生活方式优先事项，意味着它不再是唯一合理的路径。 对于居住领域的运营商而言，这是一个拥有不同期望的客户群体，他们寻求的不只是临时住所，而是能支持他们想要生活方式的家。 对于选择不同住房路径的人来说，放弃购房可以是一项有意为之的长期选择，而不是权宜之计。 在进入住房市场的下一代人中，家的形态正变得更加多样，其中灵活性、便利性和生活方式有时会超过传统置业吸引力。 *姓名已更改，以保护他们的隐私。
