What's moving the market: Singapore's biggest property deals and hottest searches (Aug 14)
The transaction, alongside record and high-value condo, HDB and rental deals, signals resilient demand across segments and may influence pricing expectations for comparable properties.
A freehold Oriole Crescent GCB was the fortnight’s highest-priced landed transaction, reselling for $23.8 million, or $1,955 psf, after roughly two years without caveated deals.

Here is this week’s data-led look at Singapore’s property market, covering record transactions, rental benchmarks and the most searched homes on EdgeProp.
Non-landed private homes — new launches, resales and rents
The highest-priced condo unit transacted in the last 14 days was a five-bedder at freehold condo Leedon Residence in Bukit Timah, fetching $14.3 million in a resale transaction on July 30. That works out to $3,040 psf based on its spacious floor area of 4,704 sq ft.

The deal also netted the week’s biggest condo resale gain, with the seller clinching a profit of $3.75 million.
The second most expensive condo transaction involved a unit at Grange Residences. The four-bedroom apartment was sold for $10.8 million. This also set a fresh high of $3,786 psf at the freehold development in prime District 10, surpassing its previous price record of $3,611 psf.
Other condos that made the list of priciest transactions included The View @ Meyer with a $10 million sale, and The Draycott with a $7.18 million deal. Over on Farrer Road, a unit at Waterfall Gardens was sold for $5.62 million in early August.
Freehold development The Continuum, on Thiam Siew Avenue, was again a mainstay on the list, with three units among the top 10 transactions by price. Each fetched between $4.72 million and $5.11 million.
The Continuum has recorded the highest sales volume among District 15 condos over the past 12 months, EdgeProp Singapore noted in an analysis this week.
Among the most transacted new-launch condos over the past fortnight, the recently launched Dunearn House took pole position again, with 10 caveated deals.

The Continuum, Coastal Cabana and Hudson Place Residences followed with six, five and four transactions, respectively.
In the rental market, the massive 2,203-unit Treasure At Tampines was the most popular condo in the Outside Central Region (OCR) or suburbs, with a total of 55 rental transactions.
Completed in 2023, Treasure At Tampines has logged an average rental yield of 3.6% based on URA rental data in the last 12 months. In the second quarter of this year, there were 164 contracts signed, up from 125 in the first quarter.

Meanwhile, Lake Grande recorded 35 rental deals and Parc Clematis had 34.
OCR condo units with the highest rents included several residences in District 15 in the east of Singapore.

Landed homes — highest transacted prices and rents
When it comes to landed homes, a house along Oriole Crescent — in the Raffles Park Good Class Bungalow (GCB) area — commanded the highest transacted price during the fortnight ended Aug 12.
It was resold for $23.8 million, which is about $1,955 psf based on its freehold land area of 12,176 sq ft.
This is the first caveated deal for a property on Oriole Crescent in roughly two years. The most recent transaction on that street, based on lodged caveats, was recorded in September 2024, when a property sitting on a smaller, 10,116 sq ft site changed hands for $20 million.
Two other houses in the vicinity also made the list of the most expensive landed houses transacted during the last fortnight to Aug 12.
A semi-detached house situated on Watten Close fetched $11.88 million on July 30, while another semi-detached property along Watten Park went for $11.1 million on July 31.
The freehold landed estate is located just off Dunearn Road, around the Bukit Timah education belt with schools such as Raffles Girls' Primary School, Hwa Chong Institution and Nanyang Girls' High School.
In the leasing market for landed properties in the OCR, the highest rent for leases that started in June 2026 comes from a detached house located on Sunset Square. It is fetching $16,000 or $4.92 psf per month.
In the same Sunset Way landed residential enclave in Clementi, another bungalow on Sunset Place is commanding $14,800 or $5.38 psf in monthly rent.
Over in the Braddell Heights estate in Serangoon, a detached house on Chiltern Drive is being leased out for $15,000 a month.
HDB flats — top prices and rents, most transacted blocks
A flat at Block 9B Boon Tiong Road scored the highest price among HDB resale transactions over the last 14 days.
Carrying a price tag of nearly $1.69 million, the five-room HDB flat is situated on the 28th to 30th storeys and measures 1,205 sq ft in floor area.
The block is part of the Tiong Bahru View public housing development — a replacement housing site built under the Selective En-bloc Redevelopment Scheme (SERS) and completed in 2016. The project has produced numerous million-dollar resale flats in recent years.
Before the latest Aug 8 transaction, a high-floor, four-room flat at the same block was sold for $1.36 million in January this year. It sits between the 37th and 39th storeys and spans 990 sq ft.
In the HDB leasing segment, Jurong again dominated the list of flats with the highest rents, for contracts starting this August.
Five of the 10 flats were located in either Jurong West or Jurong East. They included an executive flat at Block 910 Jurong West Street 91 fetching $5,800 per month, and a four-room flat at Block 651B Jurong West Street 61 bringing in $5,500 per month.
Meanwhile, a four-room flat at Block 93 Jalan Dua in Geylang took pole position for the period in review, with $6,700 in monthly rent. Completed in 1962, the block is made up of mainly three-room flats.
Amenities near Jalan Dua include the Old Airport Road Food Centre and Mountbatten Community Club. The Dakota One and Dakota Breeze BTO projects are just across the road, while Dakota MRT Station is about a four-minute walk away.
