Which unit type will be most popular with buyers in 20 years

Landed properties are forecasted to remain the most popular unit type with buyers in 20 years due to their status as the premium asset class with limited supply, driving strong demand and price appreciation.

In Singapore's property market, landed homes like good class bungalows and semi-detached houses are expected to stay highly sought after. Forecasts indicate around 75,000 landed units by 2040, even as condo and apartment supply grows to about 500,000 units to support population increases. This scarcity positions landed properties as the "cream of the crop," appealing to affluent buyers and investors for long-term value.

Meanwhile, HDB public housing will expand by roughly 200,000 units and condos/apartments by 120,000 units over the next 15 years, but landed properties' exclusivity ensures their enduring popularity. Developers are sensitive to buyer preferences, often prioritizing designs that match demand, yet limited land keeps landed options rare.
