Houses in Singapore: buying and renting, prices and rules

Updated 4 November 2026

Property listings in Singapore's search results start at about S$1,950,000 for a two-bedroom home and reach S$6,250,000 for a three-bedroom one, approximately, according to sellers' websites, November 2026. Rent for a house is quoted per month, and one rental listing shows S$8,800 a month. For a current price in your area, send a request on BlaBlaPrice and sellers will answer with their own figures.

Landed houses are a separate market

Search results treat landed houses separately from condominiums and HDB flats, and the rules and prices differ between them. Before you compare two homes, ask the seller which type each one is. A landed house and a flat in the same district are not comparable on price, so compare the price per square foot only within one type.

Rental rules to check

Under the rules in the search results, a private home needs a lease of at least 3 months, and an HDB flat at least 6 months. Short stays are generally allowed only in licensed serviced apartments, and renting out a home for stays of a few days or weeks is illegal for most homes. A house listing may say that short stays are permitted with a one-month minimum, so read the minimum term in the offer before you commit.

Season and timing

Singapore is hot all year, with a wet season and a dry season instead of winter and summer. There is no cold spell that makes a house harder to see, so viewings can be booked in any month. Plan visits for the dry part of the day, especially when you want to look at the garden, the driveway or the roof, because heavy rain can cut a visit short.

What to put in the request

Say whether you want to buy or rent, and whether you need a landed house, a townhouse or a duplex. Give the area, for example Tampines, Jurong West, Woodlands or Ang Mo Kio, and the number of bedrooms. Give the land or floor size in square feet, since listings quote sizes that way. State the budget as a total price or a monthly rent, and add the move-in date and whether you need a garage or parking.

Requests on BlaBlaPrice are free for buyers. Describe the house you need in your own words in a chat, and add a photo if you have one. BlaBlaPrice reads the request, asks for missing details, and looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Singapore before it shows the prices and businesses it found. Registered sellers reply in the chat with their own offer, and your contacts stay hidden until you choose to exchange them. You can also send the request link to local sellers yourself.
