For digest readers, the four numbers that matter for Detached D5 in the trailing multi-year window are: (a) transacted volume relative to trailing-12-month averages, (b) median PSF for the comparable-quality sample, (c) gross rental yield (where applicable), and (d) the segment-mix composition that influenced the headline aggregate. Cross-reference the chart in this digest against URA for verified caveat-level detail, and against the URA Property Price Index for the quarterly cycle-level benchmark.
The landed transacted price trajectory reading for Detached D5 reflects the interplay between (1) the policy environment (IRAS ABSD rates for buyer-side cooling, IRAS BSD rates for the standard upfront stamp), (2) the financing cost environment (MAS SORA dashboard for the floating-rate benchmark plus typical 0.6–0.85% bank spread = ~4.0% all-in), and (3) the MAS TDSR / cooling measures explainer that caps debt-servicing at 55% of gross income. Each of these levers can shift period-to-period readings independently.
The the trailing multi-year window landed price trend digest for Detached D5 sits within a defined cycle context. Singapore landed property prices are structurally constrained by limited supply (~73,000 units) and the LDAU foreigner restriction. This digest reads the period’s data alongside the structural framework set by Singapore’s post-April-2023 cooling-measure regime — foreigner ABSD at 60%, Singapore Citizen second-property ABSD at 20%, 3M SORA in the 3.0–3.5% band — that shapes how the raw figures translate into actionable buyer or seller decisions (as of 2026-Q1).

Detached House in District 5
This analysis tracks Detached House price movements in District 5 using URA REALIS transaction data. Landed pricing in a single district can be volatile because of the small number of trades — a single GCB or bungalow deal can move the average PSF meaningfully. The trend table below smooths that noise by aggregating annually, while the benchmark section compares the district against the islandwide Detached House average so you can see whether this postcode trades at a premium or discount.
Historical Price Trend
| Year | Volume | Avg PSF | Avg Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 4 | $1,244 psf | $7,900,000 |
| 2022 | 3 | $1,128 psf | $18,475,512 |
| 2023 | 1 | $1,578 psf | $7,300,000 |
| 2024 | 5 | $1,426 psf | $5,407,778 |
| 2025 | 2 | $1,868 psf | $6,108,000 |
| 2026 | 1 | $1,941 psf | $5,900,000 |
The most recent year printed $1,941 psf on 1 Detached House trades — 19.5% above the prior 3-year baseline of $1,624 psf. ↑ 19.5% District-level landed trends often lag broader condo momentum by 6–12 months because owners tend to hold through cycles rather than trade tactically.
D5 Detached House trades at a 0.6% premium to the islandwide Detached House average of $1,625 psf. Compare this figure against the District 5 (Pasir Panjang, Hong Leong Garden, Clementi New Town) district profile to understand how much of the gap is driven by GCB-eligible pockets versus wider type mix.
The the trailing multi-year window period’s landed transacted price trajectory for Detached D5 reflects specific micro-level drivers. Within the aggregate figure, individual sub-segments (different unit types, floor bands, tenure types) typically move at different rates — the period’s ‘top movers’ are units or sub-cohorts whose performance deviated meaningfully from the mean. For investors and sellers, identifying these movers is more useful than the headline average because the mean smooths out the dispersion that creates actual buying or selling opportunities.
Typical top-mover categories in any digest period include: (a) freehold units in 99-year-dominated districts that command a meaningful tenure premium, (b) high-floor units in projects with strong views or panoramic orientation (5–15% PSF premium vs low-floor in same project), (c) recently-renovated stock that commands ~5–10% premium over comparable un-renovated transacted PSF, and (d) units close to recently-opened MRT lines or new developments that create proximity-premium uplift. For Detached D5 in the trailing multi-year window, the dispersion across these categories is the more informative reading than the headline median. Use landed prices map for cross-reference.
Conversely, soft-mover categories typically include 99-year leasehold stock approaching financing-window thresholds (lease <30 years), units with unfavourable orientation or noise exposure, and developments where MCST management quality has degraded. Cross-reference URA for the per-project caveats and assess which projects in Detached D5 fall into which category.
The embedded chart for this landed price trend digest of Detached D5 in the trailing multi-year window visualises the landed transacted price trajectory trajectory. The two readings to focus on are (1) the absolute level versus the trailing-12-month mean, and (2) the direction of change across the most recent 3–4 periods. A single-period spike or trough is rarely informative; sustained directional movement across multiple periods signals a structural shift worth acting on.
For comparative context, place Detached D5’s the trailing multi-year window reading against (a) the corresponding national-level URA Property Price Index figure for the segment, and (b) the equivalent reading in adjacent districts or towns. The relative positioning — whether Detached D5 is leading or lagging the national segment — informs whether the period’s reading is geography-specific or part of a broader cycle move. Use landed stamp duty calculator for district-level visual comparison and landed vs condo calculator for direct numeric benchmarking.
Looking ahead from the trailing multi-year window, the forward variables for Detached D5 landed transacted price trajectory are (a) the URA Government Land Sales pipeline within a 1km radius, which determines new-supply pressure, (b) the SORA trajectory over the next 2–4 quarters, which shapes mortgage-driven affordability, and (c) any local infrastructure changes (new MRT stations, school openings, redevelopment of neighbouring plots) that could shift relative attractiveness. Track these via URA and the MAS SORA dashboard (as of 2026-Q1).
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Detached House in D5 a good buy at current prices?
The district currently trades at a premium to the islandwide average for this type. Use this data as one input alongside tenure, plot size, rebuild potential and long-term hold horizon — not as a standalone entry signal.
Why does district-level landed pricing fluctuate year to year?
Landed transaction volume in a single district is small, so composition effects dominate — a single GCB-area trade, a tenure-mix shift, or a cooling-measure repricing can all move the annual average by 5–10% without signalling a broader market change.
How far ahead should I plan for a landed purchase?
Budget 6–12 months from initial search to completion for landed purchases — inventory is thin, due diligence on tenure and rebuild potential is more involved than for condos, and sellers often take their time to accept offers.
What policy environment shaped this reading?
The reading sits within the post-April-2023 cooling-measure regime: foreigner ABSD 60%, SC second-property ABSD 20%, TDSR 55% per the MAS TDSR / cooling measures explainer. SORA-linked mortgage rates near 4.0% effective shape the affordability ceiling. These structural variables affect demand-side composition across all digest periods since 2023.
Should I act on this digest?
Honest answer: depends on holding horizon and buyer profile. For owner-occupiers with 10+ year horizons, single-period digest readings rarely trigger action. For sellers or short-horizon investors, sustained directional moves across 3–4 periods may indicate timing windows. Cross-reference your specific buyer profile via the IRAS BSD rates and CPF home ownership rules alongside the digest data.
