Cheapest 3-Bedroom New Launch Asking Prices in Singapore (July 2026)

Fifty-seven complete 3-bedroom new-launch asking-price rows are on the market right now. These are developer/agency asking prices, not completed transactions. The absolute cheapest asking entry is Coastal Cabana (Pasir Ris, D18, 99-year leasehold, 872 sqft) at $1,535,000. Here is the catch: - cheapest

Cheapest 5BR New Launch July 2026

The cheapest 5-bedroom new launch in Singapore today is Springleaf Residence in D26 — a 5-bedder there starts at $3,224,000. But "cheapest" is a trick question. That same unit is only the 3rd cheapest per square foot, the smallest 5-bedder on the entire market,

Does The Price-To-Index Ratio Still Work When We Measure Percentage Return?

In the previous article, I tested a simple idea: Can we compare a condo's entry PSF against the URA regional price index to see whether the buyer was paying a stretched price? The first version was useful, but it had one obvious weakness. It looked heavily at dollar

Cheapest 4BR New Launch July 2026

1. 4BR Lowest PSF — for buyers who already know their target unit size PSF makes sense as a filter when you have a specific size in mind and want to compare the per-sqft cost across projects. It strips out the size variable and lets you see which developers are

Sims Urban Oasis Has a 97.5% Win Rate. The Typical Profit Is $57,000 Below What Sellers a Few Streets Away Have Been Banking.

97.5% of sellers at Sims Urban Oasis (Sims Drive, Geylang, D14) walked away with a profit. Across 122 resale transactions, only 3 ended in a loss. That is one of the higher win rates in RCR — better than Normanton Park (90.9%) and Avenue South Residence (94.2%), and

Cheapest New Launches in Singapore (2026)

Filter Singapore's new-launch market by price — say, anything under $1.5M — and you will see a CCR studio, an OCR 2-bedroom, and a Tanjong Pagar building where nearly every unit is still available, all sitting in the same results column. Same budget. Completely different products. And

TMW Maxwell Has The Cheapest 1-Bedroom New Launch, Is In The CBD And Has 319 of 324 Units Unsold.

Three hawker centres within a 5-minute walk. Two MRT lines within walking distance. A Maxwell Road address in District 2 which sits in the heart of the CBD. A blanket 7% discount (as of writing) applied to nearly every unit in the building. And the lowest 1-bedroom entry

Yishun/Sembawang Are The Top Performing Districts For Private Homes But That's Only One Half Of The Picture. Here's Why

In a previous article, I wrote that Yishun/Sembawang was one of the top performing neighbourhoods in terms of annualised returns on private homes. That, is still true but what we found next was that a large chunk of the transactions from that finding were actually from ECs - 66% to

S&P 500 vs Private Property: Which Performed Better Over 10 Years?

Most people who bought a $1.5M condo in 2013 and sold it a decade later will tell you they "roughly broke even." They paid $1.5M. They sold for maybe $1.35M. Small loss, they say — held through the cooling measures, survived the cycle, not bad. That

The 3-Bedders at Stirling Residences Cost More Per Sqft Than the 1-Bedders. The Data Points to One Explanation — but Cannot Prove It.

Two units in the same 40-storey building. Same address on Stirling Road. Same 99-year lease. Six-minute walk to Queenstown MRT for both. And yet the price per sqft between the cheapest and most expensive transaction at Stirling Residences between April and mid-May 2026 is $474 apart.
