Against all odds, the non-landed private property market, including condominiums and executive condominiums (EC), has surpassed expectations and proven highly resilient in the COVID-19 pandemic. But all good things must come to an end.
The announcement of the December 2021 property cooling measures saw the first quarter of 2022 kick-off to a modest start. New private home sales slumped in the first quarter due to the lack of launches and the Chinese New Year festive lull period. According to the Singapore Property Market Report Q2 2022, asking prices for non-landed private property continued to rise in Q1 2022, but at a slower pace; this mirrors the Q1 2022 figures reported by URA.
Still, there is high demand for executive condominiums (ECs), in part thanks to the limited stock on the market. The EC market has been unscathed by the recent round of property cooling measures, with both HDB upgraders and first-time home purchasers showing strong interest in executive condos.
So, what’s in store for new condo launches in 2022? Here’s what homebuyers can look forward to.

New Condo Launches: What We Can Expect
As far as what to expect from new condo launches in 2022, those who are looking for home condos in the Outside Central Region (OCR) have a fairly wide selection to choose from.
However, in general, the number of new condo and executive condo launches will be lower than in previous years as the government has tightened the supply of land released through the Government Land Sales (GLS) Programme.
In addition, interest rates are expected to rise in 2022, which could make financing more costly and dampen interest in the projects. Take for instance, fixed rates have almost doubled in May 2022, as compared to the start of the year. Those who wish to buy a new launch condo in 2022 will need to monitor interest rates and prices closely to ensure affordability.
