Singapore property investments rose in 3Q2025, accomplishing its strongest quarterly productivity to date this year. Research study compiled by Colliers arranged $10.3 billion in financial investment sales past quarter, which stands for a 35.6% spike q-o-q and the highest quarterly figure in over 3 years, the firm states.
Colliers discusses the sanguine expectation. “Easing interest rates and renewed confidence in public markets are preparing the stage for a comeback in private assets”, indicates Tan Boon Leong, executive supervisor and co-head of investment services at Colliers Singapore. “Institutional capital is expected to pick up, driving methods concentrated on redevelopment, lease optimization, and arising markets.”
Still, he expects things to pick up in the following months. “The big drop in rates of interest (SORA) this year bodes well for a rise in open market private investment sales in 4Q2025 and in 2026, assuming a persistent price gap which exists for several assets can be overcome.”
Alan Cheong, managing director at Savills Research & Consultancy, is likewise hopeful. “Capital market conditions have shifted really suddenly and really positively for investment decision sales to power ahead for 2H2025,” he monitors, adding that investment sales for the very first nine months of 2025 have actually currently gone beyond Savills’ full-year estimate of $20 billion.
Therefore, the firm has improved its projection, with overall investment sales currently projected ahead in between $28 billion and $30 billion.
Colliers plans full-year investment sales to range between $29 billion to $32 billion, which represents a growth of 10% to 20% y-o-y. “Looking ahead to 2026, arising asset classes such as co-living and workers’ dormitories are poised to become vital development operators,” it includes.
The pick-up in revenues was steered by land parcels presented under the Government Land Sales (GLS) process. Seven non commercial sites, one commercial and residence site, and four commercial areas were granted in 3Q2025 for an overall of almost $4.15 billion, up just about 242% q-o-q.
Jeremy Lake, managing director of financial investment sales and capital markets at Savills Singapore, keeps in mind that realty investment sales remained to be underpinned by public deals. “The actual variety of private investment sales excluding related party sales and REIT IPO arrangements continues to be disappointingly low,” he says.
Catherine He, head of research at Colliers Singapore, adds that in spite of tighter returns, Singapore remains an essential market for international investors seeking diversification.
