<\/div>\n

The Ministry of National Development (MND) recently announced several major revisions<\/a> to Singapore\u2019s Executive Condominium (EC) scheme, with one of the most impactful changes being the removal of the Deferred Payment Scheme (DPS) for all future EC sites launched under the 1H2026 Government Land Sales (GLS) programme onwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The move is expected to significantly affect buying behaviour, particularly among second-timers, as DPS has long been one of the key financing options in the EC market. According to Mr. Luqman Hakim, Chief Data & Analytics Officer at 99.co, around 60% of EC buyers currently rely on the scheme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This scheme allows purchasers to pay only the booking fee and down payment upfront while deferring the bulk of the loan payments until the project obtains its Temporary Occupation Permit (TOP) or Certificate of Statutory Completion (CSC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With DPS set to disappear for future launches, more attention is now shifting towards the final batch of EC projects that remain exempt from the new rules. These developments are expected to see heightened interest from buyers hoping to secure an EC under the more flexible financing structure before the policy changes fully take effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      ECs still available under the Deferred Payment Scheme<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Following the full sell-out of Rivelle Tampines<\/strong><\/a> within just a month, Coastal Cabana<\/strong><\/a> in Pasir Ris now stands as the only EC project on the market with a sizeable remaining inventory. Around 150 units remain unsold since its launch in December, although market watchers expect demand to accelerate after the latest EC policy revisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Beyond existing projects, five upcoming EC developments will also remain exempt from the tighter rules as their land parcels were awarded before the policy announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Among the upcoming projects, City Developments Ltd (CDL) is preparing two EC launches after securing the Senja Close and Woodlands sites in August 2025<\/a>. Meanwhile, Sim Lian picked up another Woodlands parcel in January this year at a record land rate of S$794 psf ppr<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      More up north, JBE Holdings secured the Sembawang Road site, while Hoi Hup Realty acquired the Miltonia Close parcel last month. Collectively, these five projects are expected to deliver around 1,970 new EC units, with launches likely to take place progressively from the second half of 2026 through 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
