Freehold condos in District 5, which covers areas like Pasir Panjang, Buona Vista, and West Coast, have shown more moderate price growth compared to some high-performing leasehold projects in other parts of Singapore. Over the past decade, most of the fastest appreciating condos in District 5—for example, The Clement Canopy—are actually 99-year leasehold developments, with price increases hitting around 50% to 60%. Freehold condos in this district generally have experienced slower appreciation compared to these leasehold counterparts.
Overall, the wider Singapore condo resale market saw an average price growth of about 7.2% from 2022 to 2023, but growth rates vary significantly by tenure and location. While certain leasehold projects in District 5 and elsewhere have achieved above-average capital gains, most freehold condos in the district have seen more subdued growth, reflecting established price levels and lower transaction volumes.
In summary:
- Major price growth in District 5 has been led by large leasehold projects, not freehold.
- Freehold projects tend to have lower but more stable long-term growth.
- Market-wide, growth for freehold condos in District 5 over the past decade generally lags behind the most dynamic leasehold counterparts in the same district and other regions.
