Kenny's Take
A freehold bungalow on Branksome Road just sold for S$13.168 million, or S$2,603 psf on 5,058 sq ft of land — landing almost exactly on District 15's trailing landed median of S$2,586 psf. That's a useful reference point right now because landed volume in the district has been thinning (107 transactions over the last three months versus 130 the quarter before), which usually makes it harder to find a clean comp. This is the second seven-figure-plus deal on this exact street in 2026, following a S$16.9 million (S$2,674 psf) sale back in March — two prints on one street within six months is about as clean a benchmark as this market offers, and it's holding rather than climbing. Meanwhile Villas @ Greenbank Park in Bukit Timah finally showed its full price ladder: two freehold semi-detached homes from S$9.5 million and a six-bedroom bungalow at S$15 million, all completed last month. And in Queenstown, a five-room flat at Dawson Road sold for S$1.5 million — another data point in an estate that keeps resetting its own resale ceilings across unit types.
🏡 Branksome Road Bungalow Sells At District 15's Landed Median
- A freehold detached house at Branksome Road sold for S$13.168 million, working out to S$2,603 psf on 5,058 sq ft of land — almost exactly at District 15's trailing 12-month landed median of S$2,586 psf.
- It's the second big-ticket deal on this same street in 2026: an earlier sale in March fetched S$16.9 million (S$2,674 psf), meaning this corridor now has two closely-matched, recent comps rather than one outlier.
- Landed transaction volume in D15 has been thinning — 107 deals in the trailing three months versus 130 the quarter before — so a repeat print on one street is a cleaner reference point than usual for anyone benchmarking a Katong-area landed purchase or exit.
🏡 Villas @ Greenbank Park Shows Its Full Price Ladder
- Tong Eng Group's freehold trio at 50, 52 and 54 Greenbank Park in Bukit Timah — designed by RT+Q Architects — has now revealed pricing on all three homes: two 5-bedroom semi-detached houses from S$9.5 million, and a 6-bedroom detached bungalow at S$15 million.
- All three homes completed construction last month, putting this rare freehold landed release in a Bukit Timah corridor known as a relative-quantum entry point into the Core Central Region — landed exposure without paying full Newton or Holland pricing.
- Buyers who had been waiting on the bungalow number before deciding between this and a resale Good Class Bungalow now have a complete price comparison to work with.
🏘️ A Five-Room Flat In Dawson Road Sells For $1.5 Million
- A five-room unit at Block 92 Dawson Road — 1,065 sq ft on the 28th to 30th floor — transacted for S$1.5 million on 5 September, the latest high-value print in the Queenstown estate.
- Queenstown has produced a run of high three-room resale prices this year on the back of its central location and a deep MOP-ready upgrader pool; this five-room transaction is a reminder the same dynamic shows up across unit types, not just the segment most closely tracked so far.
💰 Rates: SORA Holding Near 1.20%
- 3-month compounded SORA is reported around 1.19–1.20% this week, with Maybank and OCBC still the best-in-market floating packages at roughly 1.39–1.40% all-in (3M SORA +0.20%).
🔭 What I'm watching
- Whether Villas @ Greenbank Park's S$15M bungalow moves before its semi-detached siblings — buyers at this size and quantum are a thinner pool.
- The ULI Singapore Annual Conference on 15 September, where 250+ real estate and urban development professionals gather — often a source of forward guidance on land use and upcoming GLS supply.
