The profitable sale, alongside 10 other profitable resales there this year, signals resilient demand that may support values for large freehold District 10 homes.
EdgeProp Singapore 13 Aug 2026 Chronology Wed, 12 August 2026 2 stories EdgeProp Singapore 12 Aug 2026 Also in the pipeline are the 428-unit Dorset Gardens condo in 1H2027, and the Hougang Central hub with >800 homes in 2H2027

The narrow 2.6% price premium over comparable OCR units signals cross-segment appeal and may encourage buyers to trade space for centrality and developers to supply more compact homes.
Chronology Wed, 5 August 2026 1 story Lakeside Towers has relaunched its collective sale tender for the third time, with the reserve price kept unchanged at $350 million. The 99 year leasehold condo along Yuan Ching Road failed to secure a buyer in 2018, 2022, and 2023.
Strong nearby new-project sales and Lakeside Towers’ scarce lakefront site may support developer interest, although earlier failed tenders indicate continued sensitivity to redevelopment costs.
Chronology Tue, 4 August 2026 5 stories Private residential rents rose 0.7% in 2Q2026 while HDB rents grew 0.4%, according to Realion’s latest report. Tighter supply and steady tenant demand kept both markets stable, with growth projected to continue through the rest of 2026.

EdgeProp Singapore 30 Jul 2026 Chronology Wed, 29 July 2026 2 stories A PropNex survey of 110 million-dollar HDB resale deals in 2025 shows who’s buying: PMET professionals in their 30s and 40s, retirees downsizing from private homes, and buyers who paid no cash-over-valuation at all.
The findings signal that million-dollar flats are increasingly valuation-supported homes serving younger aspirational buyers, public-housing upgraders and older private-home right-sizers as a distinct resale tier.
EdgeProp Singapore 29 Jul 2026
Chronology Tue, 28 July 2026 7 stories The Business Times 28 Jul 2026 Without the need to wait 15 months, more owners may trade private homes for premier HDB resale units

Real Estate Asia 27 Jul 2026 Chronology Fri, 24 July 2026 4 stories URA’s Q2 2026 figures show private home prices up just 0.5% quarter on quarter, the weakest first-half growth since 2020. Non-landed prices dipped as landed homes rebounded, and resale transactions drove a 13.6% rise in total sales.
Slower growth signals a stabilising market and, alongside a larger second-half launch pipeline, may give buyers more choice and reduce pressure for immediate purchases.
EdgeProp Singapore 24 Jul 2026
Chronology Thu, 23 July 2026 3 stories EdgeProp Singapore 23 Jul 2026 The resale ranks among Haig Court's five most profitable deals, reflecting the development's long-term value growth.

EdgeProp Singapore 23 Jul 2026 Chronology Wed, 22 July 2026 3 stories Real Estate Asia 22 Jul 2026 Owner-occupiers are playing a growing role in Jakarta's apartment market as buyers increasingly prioritise affordability, immediate occupancy and long-term hous

The Business Times 22 Jul 2026
A house on Oriole Crescent resells for $23.8 mil; Bukit Timah condo fetches $14.3 mil; Geylang four-room flat rented for $6,700

EdgeProp Singapore 13 Aug 2026 That said, its commission income from agency services was up 6.9% from HDB resale, landed resale, and leasing transactions.
Healthy resale and leasing activity signals cross-segment resilience, while removal of the 15-month wait-out period could support right-sizing and transactions across HDB and private resale markets.
EdgeProp Singapore 13 Aug 2026 Lumina Grand EC in Bukit Batok was completed in April. The 570-unit Lucerne Grand condo near Jurong Lake Gardens will debut next.
The uplift and strong sell-through at completed projects signal healthy demand, potentially supporting developer confidence ahead of the 570-unit Lucerne Grand launch in October.
That said, 45% of flat owners are not aiming for private housing. Sentiment on executive condos also softened amid higher prices.
The results signal affordability-led upgrader demand that may favour well-connected RCR and OCR condominiums, while rising executive-condo prices could redirect some buyers toward other segments.
Broad-based growth led by non-landed homes signals firm tenant demand, which may support leasing volumes while newly completed projects attract renters across market regions.
The Business Times 11 Aug 2026 As private non-landed homes age, a vibrant collective sales market helps optimise land use

Channel NewsAsia 04 Aug 2026 The current consent thresholds for collective sales were first introduced in 1999. Since then, many developments have got significantly older, said the Ministry of Law.

Real Estate Asia 04 Aug 2026 PropNex expects Singapore's private residential market to remain resilient through the rest of 2026, with steady home sales and overall price growth of between
Healthy sales and a 7.2% quarterly fall in unsold uncompleted stock signal resilient demand, while affordability-focused pricing may shape developers’ launch strategies.
Jakarta's serviced apartment rental market maintained steady momentum in Q2 2026, with operators continuing to prioritise affordability and disciplined pricing
Rupiah depreciation may preserve affordability for US Dollar-funded corporate tenants, potentially encouraging upgrades to larger units and lifting operators’ revenue per occupied apartment.
Daintree Residence has recorded 19 resale deals this year at an average price of $2,052 psf, edging above 2025 levels.
The first transaction above $2,200 psf signals continued resale-price resilience at the Bukit Timah development and may influence seller expectations for comparable units.
An office became a heritage-inspired rental home after a year-long search and complex renovation, reviving childhood memories
The fully occupied project signals demand for differentiated co-living accommodation, though its unexpected $80,000 structural works highlight renovation risks associated with ageing properties.
28 Jul 2026
Singapore has removed the 15-month wait-out period for private property owners buying resale HDB flats, effective 28 July 2025. Here is what the change means for HDB buyers, sellers, and private homeowners, and why the timing lines up with slowing resale price growth.

Real Estate Asia 27 Jul 2026 Jakarta's apartment market is entering a more disciplined development cycle, with developers focusing on selling existing inventory rather than accelerating new
The restrained, mid-range-focused pipeline signals selective development and may help inventory conversion, while financing conditions and pre-sales increasingly determine future launch timing.
Developers moved 2,141 new private homes during the quarter, up from the 2,013 units sold in 1Q2026.
Moderating price growth alongside higher primary and resale volumes signals resilient demand, although rising mortgage rates may make buyers more cautious about large purchases.
The Business Times 24 Jul 2026 Rents rise the most for landed homes, while prime area condos outpace other regions and suburban rents ease
Fewer completions and steady leasing demand may support moderate rental growth, although rising vacancies and additional HDB rental supply could intensify competition for tenants.
EdgeProp Singapore 24 Jul 2026 The 125-room Mber development combines co-living, serviced apartments and community-focused shared spaces.
The rapid take-up may support confidence in purpose-built co-living, potentially encouraging scalable developments beyond the sector’s conventional reliance on converted properties.

EdgeProp Singapore 23 Jul 2026 The duplex homes feature expansive living areas, terraces and four-bedroom layouts across two levels.
The rare large-format units may appeal to space-seeking Orchard-area buyers, though the project’s absence of transactions since 2006 could complicate price discovery.
