The average price of $1,766 psf Executive Condominium in 2025. Is this a story of success and stalemate?

The $1.76M Executive Condominium in 2025 — Dream Upgrade or Financial Standstill?

Executive Condominiums now average $1,766 psf in 2025, with many family-sized units above $1.7 million. Demand remains strong — but this newsletter asks a deeper question:

Is today’s EC still a stepping stone to the Singapore Dream, or has it become a high-stakes, long-term financial commitment?

Once created as a bridge between HDB and private property, ECs have evolved into powerful wealth-building tools. Many early buyers have seen huge paper gains — but selling and upgrading today comes with six-figure costs, fresh debt, and reduced flexibility. Success, ironically, now brings new constraints.

Despite this, ECs continue to attract buyers due to:

• A ~20% discount vs private condos
• ABSD-avoidance pathways for future upgrades
• A 10-year privatisation timeline with phased value unlock

Final question every buyer must face:

• Are you simply buying a home — or committing to a 10-year financial strategy?
• When your EC succeeds… can you actually afford to move on?

This is not just a story about property prices. It’s about policy, ambition, risk, wealth, and the emotional cost of success.

Is today’s million-dollar EC still a bridge to the Singapore Dream — or a beautiful, expensive island?

• How the 10-year privatisation timeline unlocks value in phases
