Surge in Property Transactions
The Sentosa property market experienced a notable surge in transactions during the first half of 2024. There were 101 recorded transactions, a 74.1% increase from the 58 transactions in the same period in 2023. This growth was significantly driven by the relaunch of The Residences At W Singapore Sentosa in April, offering attractive price points and spiking interest particularly in the Sentosa Cove area, part of the Core Central Region (CCR). This area is known for its exclusive, prestigious properties that represent a high-end lifestyle and sound investment opportunities.
Price Moderation and Market Health
The median unit prices of condominiums in Sentosa saw a slight moderation in the second quarter of 2024, adjusting from $1,999 psf in Q1 2024 to $1,801 psf in Q2 2024. This adjustment indicates a balanced market and provides potential buyers with more attractive entry points. Sentosa remains a sought-after destination due to its luxurious lifestyle and prestigious properties, making it an appealing investment opportunity even amidst price moderation.
Noteworthy Transactions
Several high-value transactions were recorded in the first half of 2024, underscoring the dynamic nature of Sentosa’s property market:
• The highest transacted property was a detached house on Ocean Drive sold for $16 million ($1,844 psf) in February, yielding a 19.6% profit gain from its purchase price in 2018.
• The Oceanfront @ Sentosa Cove, a 99-year leasehold condominium, saw a transaction at $8.1 million ($1,665 psf), generating a 26.6% profit.
• The revitalized interest in The Residences At W Singapore Sentosa Cove resulted in three separate transactions at $6.1 million each for units on the sixth floor.
These transactions highlight the potential for positive returns on investment and the ongoing demand for high-end properties in Sentosa.
