Here is this week’s data-led look at Singapore’s property market, covering record transactions, rental benchmarks and the most searched homes on EdgeProp.
The following insights are compiled from EdgeProp Buddy, URA Realis and data.gov.sg, downloaded as of July 7.
The highest-priced condo transaction over the past fortnight was a unit at The Ritz-Carlton Residences Singapore Cairnhill, a freehold District 9 development with just 58 units. The three-bedroom apartment on the eighth floor fetched $11.68 million, or $4,126 psf based on its strata area of 2,831 sq ft.

Second place went to The Orchard Residences, also in District 9, with a high-floor unit changing hands for $10.2 million or $3,576 psf. It is located on the 50th storey of the 56-storey tower, which is the residential component of the 99-year leasehold integrated development that also comprises Ion Orchard mall.
Nearby, the Ardmore II freehold condo clocked the third priciest sale in the past 14 days, with a four-bedder fetching $6.8 million or $3,360 psf in late June.
In the rental market within the Outside Central Region (OCR), the most popular condo among tenants, by a long shot, was Treasure At Tampines. At the mega 2,203-unit development, there were 58 rental contracts with leases starting from May 2026.
Quarterly data tabulated by EdgeProp Research shows the median rental at Treasure At Tampines was $5.38 psf in the second quarter of 2026, across 109 contracts signed. Average rental yield in the past 12 months was about 3.6%, based on URA data.
Lentor Modern was second on the list with 30 rental deals. Homeowners collected their keys late last year when the residential component obtained its temporary occupation permit at the end of August. Rental yield has thus far averaged 2.9%.
Other popular rented condos in the OCR included Watertown in Punggol, J Gateway in Jurong East, Riverfront Residences in Hougang, and D’nest in Pasir Ris, with 25 to 28 rental deals each.

New-launch private residential development saw more muted transaction activity due to a dearth of fresh project launch weekends during the period in review.
Coastal Cabana logged five deals in the 14 days to July 7, while Chuan Park, Hudson Place Residences, and Union Square Residences recorded three deals, based on caveats lodged.
Among resale developments, owners at the 1 Canberra executive condo (EC) made three sales in the past 14 days. Summerdale along Boon Lay Drive and Echelon in the Alexandra area also each logged three resale transactions.
Based on searches on EdgeProp’s website, prospective buyers were most interested in new-launch condos such as Dunearn House, Hudson Place Residences, Lentor Gardens Residences, and River Modern.
The likes of Newport Residences and Grand Dunman also made the list going by data from the past seven days to July 7.
As for resale condos, buyers searched for developments including Marina One Residences, Melville Park, V On Shenton, and Reflections At Keppel Bay over the last month
