Savills’ report highlights that developer involvement in GLS tenders has actually improved to an average of 6.5 bids per site last quarter, significantly more than levels seen over the past 2 years and the initial half of 2025. This comes as brand-new launches, combined with dropping interest rates, have actually increased brand-new home sales.

Therefore, the company has upgraded its forecast, with total investment sales now forecasted ahead in between $28 billion and $30 billion.
Jeremy Lake, managing executive of financial investment sales and capital markets at Savills Singapore, keeps in mind that property investment sales remained to be underpinned by public deals. “The actual number of private investment sales excluding relevant party deals and REIT IPO deals remains disappointingly poor,” he states.
Singapore realty investments rose in 3Q2025, accomplishing its greatest quarterly productivity to date this year. Research study put together by Colliers tabulated $10.3 billion in financial investment sales past quarter, which represents a 35.6% spike q-o-q and the highest possible quarterly figure in around three years, the firm states.

The pick-up in revenues was steered by land parcels presented under the Government Land Sales (GLS) program. 7 non commercial places, one commercial and non commercial site, and 4 commercial areas were granted in 3Q2025 for a total of almost $4.15 billion, up nearly 242% q-o-q.
Colliers projects full-year investment sales to range in between $29 billion to $32 billion, that represents a growth of 10% to 20% y-o-y. “Expecting 2026, emerging asset courses such as co-living and workers’ dorms are poised to turn into key growth drivers,” it includes.
Catherine He, head of research at Colliers Singapore, includes that regardless of tighter returns, Singapore continues to be a crucial market for worldwide investors seeking diversity.
