Demand and stability

The latest edition of the PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards (Singapore) arrives as the property market shows stability and resilient housing demand. In the first half of 2026, 4,575 private residential units will be tendered under the GLS programme, a figure representing 50% above the decade average. Meanwhile, landed property prices rose 3.4% quarter-on-quarter as of January 2026, outperforming non-landed segments and highlighting buyer urgency for long-term family homes in a tightly restricted market.

Considering the market’s evolution, the 16th PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards (Singapore) introduces several new award categories, including Best Condo Developer, Best Housing Architectural Design, Best Sales Gallery Interior Design, and Best Flexible Work Space.

Jules Kay, general manager of PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards and Events, said: “Despite global headwinds, Singapore’s property market has shown resilience, with steady price growth and sustained developer confidence even at premium price points. This year’s international awards showcase Singapore’s market dynamism, and with several new categories introduced, we invite industry leaders to showcase their finest developments, designs, and ESG initiatives. Whether you’ve delivered standout projects or driven innovation in a stable but competitive market, now is the time to demonstrate excellence and raise the bar higher for Singapore property.”
