Singapore investment sales could reach up to S$30b in 2025

It is expected to be almost similar with 2024’s S$29.3b.

In a world that is fast changing with countries increasingly taking a protectionist approach with widespread imposition of tariffs and insular policies, a Knight Frank report said global cooperation and economic uncertainty is expected to get worse before it gets better.

“Notwithstanding this, there are reasons for cautious optimism. Residential deals are expected to remain stable, both for development land offered at GLS tenders and also from buying demand by wealthy Singaporeans, new citizens and permanent residents,” the report added.

Here’s more from Knight Frank:

Amid the uncertainty, Singapore continues to be attractive as a safe investment hub for stable returns and capital preservation, as global and regional investment flows seek ports of economic and political stability.

Both institutional funds and private wealth continue to scout the market for opportunities, with deals brewing especially in Singapore’s industrial sector with its diverse spread of assets. Nevertheless, quality assets in all sectors remain tightly held with premiums needed to prise these from existing owners.

Positioned as such, the total investment sales value for the whole of 2025 is expected to range from S$27 billion to S$30 billion similar to the S$29.3 billion in 2024.
