In Singapore, private condo developers typically do not build the projects themselves. They buy land, appoint architects and consultants, and arrange financing and marketing. A main contractor is hired to construct the development and manage subcontractors. Rarely, a developer may also act as the builder.

For private residential projects bought via GLS, approach the developer soon after the land is awarded and the main concept/design team is in place, but before the main contractor and key trades are locked in. Key windows: 1) Early design stage (3-9 months post-award), 2) Pre-construction/main contractor tender period, 3) Early construction stage.

Owners must follow URA rules: minimum 3-month tenancy, max 6 occupants (unless a single family), no daily/weekly rentals, no conversion to workers' dormitory (max 8 workers). Owner-occupied units may qualify for tax rates. Home Office registration needed for business use. Existing HDB flats must be disposed of for certain new properties.

Reasons a Singapore property stays unsold for months include high asking price, weak unit attributes, small buyer pool, financing and policy constraints, marketing exposure and agent strategy, project or location perceptions, and mismatch with current market demand.

Purchasing a resale condo in Singapore typically takes about 10-15 weeks from granting the Option to Purchase (OTP) to completion. Here is the sequence: unit search and offer, OTP granted, arrange financing and checks, exercise the OTP, completion period, and key collection.

For purchases on or after 4 July 2025: 16% (within 1 year), 12% (1-2 years), 8% (2-3 years), 4% (3-4 years), no SSD after 4 years.
