Singapore New Private Home Sales by Month: 5,038 Units Sold in 2026 So Far (Tracker to August 2026)

Source: URA developer sales, as reported in the AsianPrime Monthly Property Market Brief. URA revises recent months slightly as data is confirmed, so the monthly figures may not add up exactly to URA’s year-to-date total.

Over these 24 months, developers sold about 19,900 new homes, an average of roughly 830 a month. That average hides the real pattern. Just seven months sold 1,000 units or more, and together they account for about 64% of all sales in the period. The typical month, measured by the median, sold only about 560 units.

Every one of those big months had a large launch weekend behind it. Sales in Singapore follow the launch calendar: when several projects open at once, buyers who have been waiting move together. When nothing new is launched, sales come only from projects already on the market and the monthly count drops to a few hundred.

For the full year, developers sold 6,421 homes in 2023 and 6,469 in 2024. The monthly figures for 2025 add up to about 10,900, the strongest year in this period, helped by large launches in February, August and October.

Three periods tend to produce low numbers year after year:

The seventh lunar month. Many buyers avoid major purchases during this period, so developers hold launches back. In 2026 it ran from 13 August to 10 September, which is why August sold only 153 units with no new project launched.

June school holidays. June 2025 sold 272 units and June 2026 sold 156, as families travel and launches pause.

Year end. December 2024 sold 203 units and December 2025 sold 197.

A quiet month on its own says little about demand. Read the year-to-date total and launch take-up instead. Launches in 2026 are down 43.9% on 2025, more than sales, which points to thinner supply rather than weaker interest from buyers.

Launches resumed after the lunar month. Amberwood at Holland sold 23 of its 212 units on its September launch weekend at an average of $3,019 psf. Lucerne Grand at Lakeside Drive sold 350 of 570 units (61%) on 3 and 4 October at an average of $2,480 psf, with about 93% of buyers Singaporean. September and October should therefore show a sharp recovery from August.

URA’s flash estimate showed private home prices up 1.4% in the third quarter of 2026, the strongest quarterly gain since the end of 2024. Industry analysts expect about 7,000 new homes to be sold in 2026 as a whole. Supply remains high, with 9,320 private homes planned under the 2026 Government Land Sales programme.
