Unit sizes are converted from the recorded strata area and rounded to the nearest sqft.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Singapore&#8217;s private resale market remained active in Q2 2026, with 3,813 resale transactions recorded, up from 3,225 in the previous quarter. Resale properties accounted for 62% of all private home transactions during the quarter.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Among the older leasehold transactions recorded during the quarter were homes at <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/condos-apartments\/orchard-court\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Orchard Court<\/a><\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/condos-apartments\/neptune-court\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Neptune Court<\/a><\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/condos-apartments\/lagoon-view\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lagoon View<\/a><\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/condos-apartments\/lakepoint-condominium\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lakepoint Condominium<\/a><\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/condos-apartments\/pine-grove\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pine Grove<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/condos-apartments\/ivory-heights\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ivory Heights<\/a><\/strong>. Their leases began between 1973 and 1986, which means these properties were already around 40 to more than 50 years into their original tenure when they changed hands.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yet buyers were still willing to pay substantial amounts for them.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Across the 17 older transactions examined, the median selling price was S$1.81 million, while the median price worked out to about S$1,095 psf. Meanwhile, the median unit size was approximately 1,647 sqft. In fact, 12 of the 17 homes were at least 1,500 sqft, while 13 changed hands for S$1.5 million or more.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, while an older lease may bring a lower psf in some cases, these properties are not necessarily &#8220;cheap&#8221;. Instead, buyers appear to be making a trade-off between remaining lease, price, space and location.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-first-just-how-much-more-space-can-an-older-condo-buy\"><b>First, just how much more space can an older condo buy?<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perhaps the clearest case for an older condo can be seen in River Valley. A 667 sqft 2-bedroom unit at <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/condos-apartments\/irwell-hill-residences\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Irwell Hill Residences<\/a><\/strong>, which has a 99-year lease from 2020, changed hands for S$2 million or S$2,997 psf in May 2026.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the same month, a 1,442 sqft unit at Orchard Court sold for S$2.15 million or S$1,491 psf. Its lease, however, started in 1973, leaving around 46 years remaining in 2026. In other words, the Orchard Court buyer paid just 7.5% more in total, but received about 2.2 times as much floor area. The unit price was also about 50% lower.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is only one comparison and should not be taken as a market-wide rule. Nevertheless, it captures the basic appeal of many older condos: a buyer may not necessarily spend less overall, but the same budget can stretch much further.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, a low psf alone does not make a property cheap, nor does a large home automatically make it good value. Instead, buyers need to ask <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">why <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">that discount exists.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n    <section

400;\">When buyers purchase a leasehold property, they are not only buying the home itself. They are also buying the right to use the land for however much of the lease remains.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, a 1,700 sqft unit at S$1,000 psf and a newer 1,000 sqft unit at S$2,000 psf should not be compared on floor area and unit price alone. The newer property may have many more decades left on its lease, while the older home may have around 50 to 60 years remaining.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the remaining lease gets shorter, that difference becomes increasingly important.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"border: 2px solid #000; padding: 16px; border-radius: 8px; background-color: #f9f9f9; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.6;\">\r\n  <em><strong>\r\n    Find Out Your Home\u2019s Worth with\r\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/go.99.co\/srx-xvalue-99co-insider\" target=\"\\\\\\_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" style=\"color: #0066cc; text-decoration: underline;\">\r\n      X-Value\u00ae\r\n    <\/a>\r\n    \u2014 Singapore\u2019s Trusted Property Valuation\r\n  <\/strong><\/em>\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/balas-curve-leasehold-property-value\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bala\u2019s Curve helps illustrate this trade-off<\/a>. Commonly used as a reference for leasehold land values, it shows that the value attached to a remaining lease does not fall evenly over time, with the decline becoming more pronounced as the lease gets shorter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That does not mean an older condo immediately loses its appeal once it reaches a certain age. After all, location, condition, rental demand and the attractiveness of the individual development still matter.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, buyers should recognise that a lower psf may partly reflect the market pricing in fewer years of ownership.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is especially important for someone hoping to hold the property for another 10, 15 or 20 years. A condo with 50 years left today will have only around 30 years remaining two decades from now, and the next buyer will have to assess the property under very different circumstances.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-financing-can-become-part-of-the-equation-too\"><b>Financing can become part of the equation too<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A shorter remaining lease can also affect how future buyers finance the property.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Under CPF rules, the remaining lease generally needs to cover the youngest buyer until at least age 95 for the maximum allowable CPF usage. If it does not, CPF usage is pro-rated. Meanwhile, CPF savings cannot be used to purchase a property with 20 years or less remaining on its lease.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Banks may also become more conservative when financing homes with much shorter remaining leases.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a result, the issue is not only whether <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">you <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">can afford an older condo today. It is also worth thinking about who might be able to afford and finance it when you eventually want to sell.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, a relatively young buyer may still see plenty of runway in a project with 55 or 60 years remaining. However, after a long holding period, a shorter lease could narrow the next pool of buyers, particularly among households that rely heavily on financing.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-but-location-can-still-carry-a-lot-of-weight\"><b>But location can still carry a lot of weight<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone wp-image-97580 size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/are-older-condos-worth-buying-neptune-court.jpg\" alt=\"neptune court\" class=\"wp-image-97580\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Neptune Court\u2019s location places it within one of the east\u2019s most established residential areas. Image credit: Google Maps.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lease length is important, but homes are not valued on tenure alone. For older condos in particular, location can play a major role in how attractive the development remains over time.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A well-located older condo may continue to appeal to both buyers and tenants when it offers convenient transport links, established amenities and access to neighbourhoods that are still improving. In some cases, the surrounding area may have changed considerably since the condo was first built, giving residents access to infrastructure that did not exist when the development was completed.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Neptune Court is one example. Its Q2 2026 transactions ranged from S$984 to S$1,118 psf, with units of around 1,270 to 1,637 sqft changing hands for between S$1.25 million and about S$1.83 million.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beyond the amount of space available, the development benefits from its location in Marine Parade. Marine Terrace MRT station on the Thomson-East Coast Line is around 450 metres away, providing residents with a more direct rail connection towards areas such as Marina Bay and the CBD. Meanwhile, East Coast Park can be reached via nearby pedestrian links, while Parkway Parade and the wider Katong and Marine Parade areas offer plenty of dining, retail and everyday amenities.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For buyers who value both space and lifestyle, this means an older home can still provide convenient access to transport, recreation and an established neighbourhood even as its remaining lease gets shorter.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While Neptune Court benefits from an already established neighbourhood, Beauty World Centre shows how upcoming improvements can add to an older development\u2019s appeal. A 1,872 sqft unit changed hands for S$2.05 million, or S$1,095 psf, in Q2 2026.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The upcoming integrated transport hub is expected to bring Beauty World MRT station together with a new air-conditioned bus interchange and more retail options. Nearby, the planned Bukit Timah Community Building will also bring facilities such as a market and hawker centre, public library, sports facilities and community services. Together, these additions could make everyday travel and access to amenities more convenient for residents.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a result, residents stand to benefit from easier transfers between rail and bus services, along with more everyday amenities within the neighbourhood. For an older development, these improvements can help strengthen the appeal of the location even though the lease itself continues to run down.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ivory Heights presents another variation of the same story. Two units of around 1,700 sqft changed hands for S$1.825 million and S$1.94 million, or S$1,073 and S$1,141 psf respectively.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The development is located near Chinese Garden MRT station and is also within reach of the Jurong East transport and commercial hub. In the longer term, it sits close to the wider transformation of Jurong Lake District, which is planned as a major business and lifestyle district in western Singapore.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That could make the area increasingly convenient for residents who work, shop or spend time in the west, while stronger employment, transport and leisure options nearby may also help keep the neighbourhood relevant to future buyers and tenants.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, these improvements do not reset the lease or remove the effects of lease decay. What they can do is give an older condo more reasons to remain attractive. In that sense, two older condos with similar remaining leases can have very different prospects. One may sit in an established or improving neighbourhood with strong transport links and amenities, while another may have fewer location advantages to offset the trade-offs that come with age.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-rental-buyers-may-see-the-equation-differently\"><b>Rental buyers may see the equation differently<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For an investor, the question can also look quite different from that of a buyer focused mainly on resale gains. Tenants generally care more about the home&#8217;s monthly rent, location, usable space, condition and accessibility than whether the property has 50 or 80 years remaining on its lease.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the same time, because an older condo may have a lower purchase price relative to the amount of space offered, rental yields can sometimes look attractive. For instance, 99.co estimates a gross rental yield of around 3.64% at Neptune Court and 3.37% at Ivory Heights, showing that some older developments can still generate reasonable rental returns despite their shorter remaining leases.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That said, gross yield is only the starting point of the calculation.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Older developments can come with higher maintenance needs, while ageing lifts, piping, roofs, common areas or other building systems may eventually require more spending. If the management corporation&#8217;s reserves are not sufficient, owners could also face additional contributions for major works.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a result, investors should not assume that a higher headline rental yield automatically translates into a better return. The more useful question is what remains after maintenance fees, repairs, vacancy and other ownership costs are taken into account.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-could-the-new-en-bloc-proposals-make-older-condos-more-attractive\"><b>Could the new en bloc proposals make older condos more attractive?<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone size-full wp-image-97583\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1140\" height=\"760\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/c0ed5601e2997e823df130dfcd165a3df926ede50c37e98926779b9b643a4364.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-97583\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Pine Grove\u2019s collective sale history shows that age alone does not guarantee an en bloc deal.

Under the proposed changes, developments aged 40 to 59 years would require 70% consent by share value and strata area, down from the current 80%. For developments aged 60 years and above, the requirement would fall further to 65%. Meanwhile, the thresholds would remain unchanged at 80% for developments aged 10 to 39 years and 90% for those below 10 years old.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b><i>Read more: <\/i><\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/proposed-en-bloc-consent-thresholds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><i><i>Older condos could get lower en bloc consent thresholds<\/i><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At first glance, that could make collective sales appear more achievable for some older developments. Yet the proposal also introduces tighter safeguards. These include shortening the period available to collect the required signatures from 12 months to six months, as well as extending the restriction period following a failed attempt from two years to three.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More importantly, reaching the required consent level is only one part of a successful en bloc sale.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A developer still needs to see enough value in the site at the price owners are asking for. Large projects can require substantial capital outlays, while developers must also consider how many new homes could eventually be built and whether there would be enough demand to sell them within the required timeline.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Developers purchasing residential land also face Additional Buyer\u2019s Stamp Duty (ABSD) obligations and deadlines for developing and selling the new homes. From 29 July 2026, qualifying large en bloc sites that can produce 700 to 1,399 homes may receive a six-year completion and sales timeline, while qualifying mega sites with at least 1,400 homes may receive seven years. Even with the longer timelines, developers still take on considerable financial and sales risks when acquiring very large sites.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Past attempts also show why lower consent thresholds alone may not be enough.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pine Grove provides a useful reminder. Despite its size and location in District 21, its S$1.78 billion collective sale tender in 2024 closed without a bid. This shows that even an established project in a sought-after area may struggle to attract a buyer if the land price, redevelopment potential or market conditions do not work for developers.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ivory Heights tells a similar story. The Jurong East project pursued a collective sale during the 2017 to 2018 cycle, but the attempt did not go through before market conditions shifted following the July 2018 cooling measures.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Taken together, the proposed lower consent thresholds <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">could <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">improve the chances of some ageing developments reaching the owner approval needed for a collective sale. They do not, though, automatically make every older condo an en bloc candidate.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Paying a premium today because a development &#8220;might go en bloc&#8221; means placing part of the investment case on an outcome that depends on owner support, developer interest, land value and market conditions \u2013 all of which can change.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-so-are-older-condos-worth-it\"><b>So, are older condos worth it?<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They can be, but usually for a very specific reason \u2013 or rather, for certain groups of buyers.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-who-could-an-older-condo-make-sense-for\"><b>Who could an older condo make sense for?<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For owner-occupiers, an older condo may be worth considering when space and location carry more weight than long-term capital growth.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A family that wants a 1,500 sqft or 2,000 sqft home, for instance, may find that an older development gives them considerably more room within their budget. This could be especially useful for larger households, buyers working from home or families living across several generations.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It may also work for buyers who intend to stay for a long time and are less concerned about selling the property again within a few years. Similarly, some older buyers or right-sizers with more existing home equity may be comfortable purchasing a shorter-lease property if it meets their lifestyle needs and leaves sufficient lease for their planned period of occupation.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Investors, meanwhile, may find selected older condos interesting where the entry price is relatively low but rental demand remains supported by location and unit size.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-who-may-want-to-be-more-cautious\"><b>Who may want to be more cautious?<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An older condo becomes harder to justify when a buyer needs both maximum financing and strong resale flexibility.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For younger households, a shorter lease may matter more because they could still own the property decades later. Moreover, if they intend to sell after another 10 or 15 years, their eventual buyer will be evaluating an even shorter remaining lease.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buyers should also be careful with developments where major repairs have repeatedly been postponed or where the MCST has limited funds for future works.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, paying a premium merely because a development looks like an en bloc candidate can be particularly risky. Collective sales depend on owners, regulations, land value, development potential and developers&#8217; appetite at that point in the market.
