A leading market analyst reports that prices in Singapore’s Core Central Region (CCR) are positioned for continued upward momentum due to resilient buyer demand, scarcity of new launch land, and long-term wealth capitalisation behaviour among families and investors.

Why prices remain supported in CCR

Key buyer groups sustaining demand include:

• High-net-worth Singaporeans reallocating wealth into property
• Upgraders moving from fringe districts to prime core
• Foreign family offices and long-term asset holders

Units near MRT nodes, branded developments, and well-planned layouts continue to attract significant absorption.

Signals pointing to further price stability

1. Shrinking unsold inventory

CCR stock is being absorbed steadily, and land replacement cost remains high.

2. Strong equity-based buyers

Prime-tier buyers typically utilise less leverage, reducing forced-selling pressure.

3. Wealth storage over yield-seeking

Prime real estate functions increasingly as a capital vault — owners hold long term.

Impact for buyers

• Freehold irreplaceable core units likely remain sticky in price
• Integrated/MRT-linked projects see top-tier demand
• Buyers should evaluate layout before PSF headline

For landlords & investors

Rental growth may not match price velocity — yields could compress.

• Compare rental yields vs mortgage cost
• Smaller prime units rent fastest
• Tenant catchments near CBD & Novena strongest

Not all CCR properties are equal. Projects with freehold tenure, transport connectivity, developer track record and efficient stack layouts out-perform.
