As we approach the end of the year, the "wait and see" sentiment that defined much of 2025 has shifted. November was a month of verdict.
The market has spoken clearly on what it values. We witnessed strong uptake in recent launches like Penrith and Zyon Grand, confirming a distinct "flight to quality." Buyers are no longer hesitating on assets that offer scarcity, integrated convenience, or a prized address.
As we look toward 2026, the window for hesitation is closing. The data suggests that waiting for future supply might mean waiting for higher price benchmarks. Here is your briefing for the month that was.

The Market Pulse for November
The numbers from November reinforce the resilience of the
market, particularly in the Core Central and City Fringe regions.
The Trend: The Lux Cluster and Rest of Central Region (RCR) drove the majority of activity, signaling that discerning capital is moving back into prime locations.
Our Takeaway: Volume is consolidating around "blue-chip" properties. The gap between suburban (OCR) and city-fringe (RCR) pricing continues to narrow, making the RCR look increasingly attractive from a value perspective.

Singapore 2040: Why the SGD Matters to Your Property
In 1965, the idea of the Singapore Dollar reaching parity with the US Dollar was a fantasy. Today, it is a distinct economic possibility.
A recent report by DBS Group Research projects that by 2040, driven by productivity and safe-haven flows, 1 SGD could equal 1 USD. This isn't just forex trivia; it is the ultimate validation of the "Singapore Premium."
In our latest editorial, we explore what this means for the asset you call home. We argue that buying Singapore property today is effectively buying a SGD-denominated bond with utility. In a strengthening currency environment, real estate becomes the primary hedge against the rising cost of living in a "First World" metropolis.
The URA recently released three major residential sites for sale, giving us a roadmap for future supply.
Dover Drive: The first launch in this education/tech enclave in years.
Tanjong Rhu: A rare waterfront site in a freehold district that hasn't seen a GLS plot since 1997.
Dairy Farm Walk: A test of demand for the nature-centric District 23.
Why this matters now: Analysts project land bids for Dover and Tanjong Rhu to hit 1,300 – 1,400 psf ppr. This effectively sets a high floor for future launch prices. It validates the value of current RCR projects that are priced competitively against these future benchmarks.
Curated Opportunity
Coastal Cabana
For those with an eye on the East, a significant opportunity is emerging. Coastal Cabana marks the first Executive Condo launch in Pasir Ris in 12 years.
With a starting price of $1,639 psf, it is trading at a significant discount to new private condos in the area. Combined with the future Cross Island Line connectivity, this represents a compelling entry point for upgraders.
2026 will bring new milestones. Whether you are looking to deploy capital into a legacy asset or refine your current portfolio, the end of the year is the perfect time to strategise.
Let’s build your legacy.
