Singapore’s private housing market is set for a significant uplift as the Government Land Sales (GLS) programme continues to release strong supply across 2025 and 2026, reinforcing efforts to stabilise the property market and meet medium-term demand.

The Government announced that the GLS Programme for the first half of 2026 will be strengthened with approximately 4,500 new private residential units.

With this injection, Singapore’s overall private residential supply pipeline now exceeds 58,000 units, one of the highest in recent years, signalling continued commitment to ensuring an adequate housing pipeline for buyers.

Regulatory Changes for Private Residential Property

Enhanced Sales Documentation Requirements

What developers must now show in sales documents:

• Structural walls - These are load-bearing walls that cannot be removed or modified. Buyers need to know where these are located to understand renovation limitations
• Refuse chambers - The designated areas for trash collection/disposal within the development

Why this matters: Currently, buyers may purchase a unit without knowing exactly which walls are structural or where waste management areas are located. They might plan renovations or assume certain modifications are possible, only to discover later that structural walls restrict their options or that refuse chambers are near their unit.
