DBS’s forecast of private home prices hitting S$4,000 psf in 15 years sounds bold but not unrealistic. With limited land, strong governance, and steady foreign inflows, Singapore property has natural long-term support. Even if growth isn’t smooth, the city’s transformation and infrastructure push should keep values trending upward.

Still, I doubt the rise will be linear. Factors like interest rates, global uncertainty, and population shifts could slow the pace. Doubling in 15 years assumes strong income growth and sustained demand — conditions that may not always align.

Personally, I prefer balance. Property is a good hedge, but I’d rather diversify through REITs and equities to capture growth with lower capital and debt risk. Prices may keep climbing, but I’m not betting everything on real estate alone.

SG Home Prices May Double! Impacts on S-REITs & Daily Life?
A recent research report from DBS Bank has stirred heated debate: In 15 years, the average psf price of private homes could exceed S$4,000 — roughly double today’s level! For context, according to URA data, the median psf for non-landed private homes in the first three quarters of this year was just S$2,139. That means — a 1,000 sq ft condo that costs S$2.14 million today could reach S$3.5–4.05 million in 15 years! What’s your take? 1️⃣ I believe it — Singapore property only goes up. 2️⃣ Sounds far-fetched — doubling in 15 years is too much. 3️⃣ Doesn’t matter to me, I’m investing in REITs.

    If got oni one property, S$10k oso no use because all property prices will rise. But if got more than one, then useful.
