Analysts expect Singapore’s property cooling measures to be reviewed, as market conditions are set to soften further this year. Full-year HDB resale price gains eased to 2.9% in 2025 — the smallest increase since 2019. For the first time since 2020, prices also stayed flat in Q4 2025. Meanwhile, private home prices inched up 0.6% in Q4 2025. This brings the full-year increase to 3.3%, softening from the 3.9% growth in 2024. Analysts are also expecting the private property market to cool further in 2026, on the back of more project launches and lower interest rates. Eugene Chow reports.
