Singapore Property Market October 2026: New Home Sales Rebound on Strong Project Launches
New Home Sales Rebound Sharply Singapore’s private residential market started the second half of 2026 on a stronger note, with new home sales rebounding after two consecutive months of decline. According to URA data, new private home sales jumped from 156 units in June to 731 units in July 2026, more than quadrupling month-on-month. However, sales were still 22.2% lower year-on-year compared with the 940 units sold in July 2025. The rebound was driven mainly by two major launches: Dunearn House in the Core Central Region and Lentor Gardens Residences in the Outside Central Region. The projects achieved healthy take-up rates of 55.8% and 54.1%, respectively. Dunearn House benefited from its first-mover position in the new Turf City Precinct, while Lentor Gardens Residences attracted buyers with efficient layouts, accessible pricing and proximity to Lentor MRT and Lentor Modern Mall. Suburban Demand Leads Developer Sales The Outside Central Region accounted for 45.7% of July developer sales, or 334 units, making it the strongest-performing market segment. The Core Central Region contributed 32.1%, while the Rest of Central Region accounted for 22.2%. Luxury demand also remained present, including a S$17.3 million unit at Skywaters Residences, sold at S$5,880 per sq ft. Outlook The strong performances at Dunearn House and Lentor Gardens Residences have given Singapore’s residential market a positive start to H2 2026. Buyer demand should remain selective, with well-located and competitively priced launches likely to perform best. Upcoming projects such as Amberwood at Holland and Lucerne Grand will be key launches to watch as the year progresses.

Saudi Arabia Property Market October 2026: Riyadh Leads as Investment Turns More Selective
Market Growth Becomes More Selective Saudi Arabia’s property market entered the second half of 2026 in a period of recalibration. Long-term fundamentals remain strong, but residential demand is becoming increasingly price- and affordability-sensitive, favouring well-located and correctly priced projects over broad market speculation. Real estate transaction value reached SAR 112 billion in Q1 2026, up 6.8% year-on-year, while Q2 recorded 53,663 transactions worth SAR 72.3 billion. Residential prices increased 1.3% year-on-year, but financing conditions and affordability are playing a larger role in buyer decisions. Demand remains structurally supported by population growth, household formation and Saudi Arabia’s homeownership agenda, although buyers are becoming more selective about value, location and end-user demand. Riyadh Office Market Remains a Standout Riyadh continues to offer one of the strongest commercial property stories. Prime office rents reached SAR 3,320 per sqm in Q2 2026, up 3% year-on-year, while Grade A occupancy remained near full capacity. Limited high-quality supply, corporate expansion and continued Vision 2030 investment are supporting office demand. Broader opportunities are also emerging across hospitality, logistics, industrial, mixed-use and infrastructure-linked assets, supported by tourism development, economic diversification and major construction activity. Outlook Saudi Arabia remains a positive long-term growth market, but investment is shifting toward a more fundamentals-driven approach. Riyadh is likely to remain the strongest opportunity, while investors should prioritise location, tenant or end-user demand, cash flow visibility and development execution. Affordability pressure, financing conditions and differences between prime and secondary locations remain key risks, reinforcing the need for a selective rather than broad-based investment strategy.

Residential Recovery Moves Into Clearer View The Philippine property market is showing stronger signs of recovery, led by a sharp improvement in residential absorption. In Metro Manila, preselling net take-up surged 765% year-on-year in Q1 2026, driven mainly by the economic and affordable segments. As a result, remaining inventory life fell to 6.8 years, down from a peak of 13.4 years in mid-2025. Developers are now prioritising the clearance of ready-for-occupancy stock before launching new projects, while completions are expected to decline from 2027 onward. Vacancy is still projected to reach 25.6% by year-end, but this largely reflects earlier supply decisions rather than current demand conditions. Demand also remains healthy in well-priced fringe locations such as the C5 Corridor and Katipunan, reinforcing the importance of the right combination of product, location and pricing. Commercial and Industrial Demand Adds Depth The recovery is also being supported by stronger commercial demand. The Philippines is ranked as the world’s second-largest GCC delivery location, with the GCC workforce projected to reach around 289,000 professionals across approximately 200 centres in 2026. This is supporting demand for prime CBD offices and key provincial markets. Tourism has also improved, with 3.16 million international arrivals in H1 2026, up 5.4%, while hotel average daily rates rose 2.4%. Industrial remains another strong segment, supported by new logistics supply and PHP 81.4 billion in approved foreign manufacturing pledges. Outlook The Philippines appears to be entering a confirmed recovery phase, but opportunities remain selective. With buyer-friendly pricing gradually being absorbed and future supply becoming more constrained, well-located residential, office and industrial assets may benefit most as the market continues to improve.

Asia Pacific Investment Outlook October 2026: Resilience, Property Growth and Stronger Regional Returns
Asia Pacific Defies Global Expectations The global economy has remained more resilient than expected in 2026 despite persistent inflation and elevated energy prices. The IMF projects global growth of 3.0% in 2026, rising to 3.4% in 2027, while Southeast Asia’s five largest emerging economies are expected to grow 4.1% this year. Asia Pacific is performing particularly strongly. CBRE raised its 2026 regional growth forecast from 3.9% to 4.3%, supported by demand for AI-related products and semiconductors. Commercial real estate investment across the region also increased 27% in the first half of 2026, despite higher interest rates in several markets. Property investment momentum remains robust. JLL recorded US$47 billion in Asia Pacific property investment in Q1 2026, the strongest first quarter on record, followed by a second quarter in which investment rose 38% year-on-year. Property and Gold Remain Key Portfolio Anchors Rental returns continue to support the investment case for selected property markets. Gross rental yields were approximately 5.3% in Malaysia, 6.5% in Thailand, 7.9% in Turkey and 8.2% in Indonesia, highlighting the income potential available across different markets.
