#145 Singapore Property Forecast 2026

The future of Singapore's property market is shaping up to be a dynamic one, with key shifts expected by 2026. A central topic is whether the government will relax the ABSD (Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty) for foreign buyers, which has been a major factor in the country’s recent drop in rankings for millionaire migration. This could significantly impact the appeal of Singapore as an investment destination for wealthy individuals.

 

Long-term price forecasts suggest that property prices, especially for landed homes, will continue to rise in the coming years. With projections showing substantial growth in HDBs, landed properties, and condos, the limited supply of landed homes positions them for significant appreciation. In this episode of Nuggets on the Go, Melvin Lim dives into these trends and what they mean for investors and homeowners.

 

Additionally, the effects of cooling measures and TDSR regulations on property sizes and market behaviour are explored. As new projects come to market in 2026, understanding these regulatory impacts and market shifts is key to making informed investment decisions in the evolving landscape.
