New Condos in Singapore
(Guide and Listings)

New launches come from two sources – Government Land Sales (“GLS”) where sites are released by URA via public tender, and en-bloc or collective sales where privately owned lands are sold by owners to a developer. Both result in the redevelopment of the sites into new condos. The difference is how the land was acquired.

Future launches typically trace back to recently awarded GLS sites, successful en-bloc deals, and plots sitting on URA’s Reserve List that may be triggered for sale.

Yes, but it depends on your citizenship and MOP. If your HDB hasn’t met its MOP, you can’t buy private residential property yet. Singapore Citizen couples may be liable for ABSD but can qualify for remission when certain conditions are met. PR owners generally must dispose of their HDB within six months of buying a private home. Always confirm specifics with current HDB and IRAS rules.

Under MAS regulations, the standard minimum is 25% (5% cash and 20% in CPF/cash). You’ll also need to budget for Buyer’s Stamp Duty and ABSD where applicable.

You pay in stages as construction progresses — from foundation to key collection. This is one of the biggest reasons buyers choose new launches, because payments are spread over 3–4 years. Run our Progressive Payment Calculator to estimate your numbers.

No, prices are set by the developer and are the same for all buyers. However, developers may offer:

• early-bird prices

• limited-time discounts

It depends on entry price, surrounding supply from GLS sites, genuine rentability, and whether upcoming infrastructure improves daily convenience—not just headlines.

New launches appeal because they’re brand new, have modern layouts, and allow you to enter earlier in the development cycle; the trade-off is lower initial yield compared with some resale options.

Yes — foreigners may buy private condos (including new launches). Foreigner ABSD at 60% applies currently. Foreigners cannot buy landed homes without special approval from Land Dealing Approval Unit (“LDAU”).

Most projects complete within 36–48 months, depending on building scale and speed of construction.

Executive Condominiums come with citizenship eligibility rules and income caps at purchase, may receive CPF grants, and become fully privatised only after 10 years. Private condos have no purchase eligibility restrictions. ECs usually start at a lower entry price but follow a different policy framework.

Budget for Buyer’s Stamp Duty, any ABSD, legal and valuation fees, and—after TOP—property tax and monthly maintenance. Planning these early keeps cash flow realistic across the build period and beyond.

You’re getting brand-new facilities, contemporary layouts, lower renovation needs, and a payment schedule paced by construction. Resale, in contrast, offers immediate move-in and clearer surrounding comparables. The right choice depends on your timeline, budget structure, and whether you value new-build. convenience over immediate occupancy.

No. Freehold only offers a real advantage for buyers holding long-term across generations or purchasing in locations where freehold supply is genuinely scarce. For most buyers with 10–15 year holding horizons, location, accessibility, and layout matter far more than tenure.

If you are unsure how to evaluate this trade-off properly, we break it down in detail in our guide on whether freehold is still worth buying in Singapore today.

Freehold properties typically command a 15–30% premium because they have no lease expiry. However, this premium often reflects tenure perception rather than better location or daily convenience, which is why buyers should compare what they are giving up to pay for freehold.
