Buyer profile

Chart 1: Buyer profile for new homes excluding ECs

Singaporeans made up the majority of new home buyers (87.8%) in January 2024. Foreign buyers continue to stay away from the new home segment after the punitive Additional Buyer Stamp Duty (ABSD) hike in April 2023

Looking at the nationality by countries, 31 of the foreign buyers were of un-specified nationality, and there was one buyer each from Thailand and Myanmar.

Luxury properties (non-landed home $5 mil and above)

Seven luxury new homes were sold in January 2024. All the luxury new homes sold in January were purchased by Singaporeans, further illustrating the discernible shift away from higher-priced homes by foreigners and foreign investors, influenced by the 60% ABSD.

Two units were sold at Watten House. Another five other luxury home transactions came from The Reserve Residences and 19 Nassim.
