Stable sentiment

Singapore’s real estate market continues to exhibit resilience, with one in two consumers intending to buy a property within the next five years, according to the PropertyGuru Singapore Consumer Sentiment Study H2 2024.

The Sentiment Index—which measures current real estate satisfaction and overall climate, housing affordability, interest rates, perceived government efforts, and property prices—remained stable at 43 points. This represents a slight decrease from the H1 2024 report, which recorded 44 points.

This year’s awards mark the debut of several new categories, including Best Renovated Commercial Development; Best Renovated Residential Development; and Best Sustainable Development.
