Singapore’s Executive Condominium (EC) market has witnessed a clear trend – buyers gravitate towards larger units. Over the past few years, there has been a noticeable increase in demand for 4-bedroom and 5-bedroom ECs, a shift driven by growing families, multi-generational living needs, and the desire for more functional spaces.
Why Are Buyers Choosing Bigger EC Units?
1. Multi-Generational Living
With rising property prices and the high cost of upgrading to private condominiums, many families opt for ECs as long-term homes. The 4-bedroom and 5-bedroom units allow multiple generations to live together comfortably under one roof. Parents, children, and even grandparents can enjoy privacy while sharing communal spaces like the living and dining areas.
2. Work-From-Home (WFH) Culture
The pandemic accelerated the WFH trend, and even though offices have reopened, many professionals still spend part of their workweek at home. As a result, homebuyers are prioritizing dedicated workspaces, and a 4- or 5-bedroom unit provides the flexibility to convert an extra room into a home office.
3. Higher Resale Potential
Larger units often fetch better capital appreciation and rental yields. As demand for spacious homes continues, buyers anticipate that 4- and 5-bedroom ECs will remain attractive even after the Minimum Occupation Period (MOP). ECs typically see strong resale value growth when they reach full privatization.
4. More Space for Growing Families
Young couples planning to have children or expand their families prefer 4-bedroom and 5-bedroom units to future-proof their housing needs. Having extra bedrooms allows for nurseries, playrooms, or guest rooms.
5. Scarcity of Large EC Units
Developers tend to build fewer large units in EC projects as they focus on affordability and maximizing the number of smaller units. This means that 4-bedroom and 5-bedroom ECs often sell out first, making them a prized choice for homebuyers who manage to secure one.
Current EC Market Trends in Singapore
Recent EC launches have seen swift take-up rates for larger units, a strong indication that demand remains robust:
- Copen Grand (Tengah) – 4-bedroom units sold out quickly within the first few weeks of launch.
- Tenet (Tampines) – Premium larger units were snapped up by buyers despite higher quantum prices.
- Altura (Bukit Batok) – 4- and 5-bedroom units were the most sought-after due to the growing preference for spacious living.
- Aurelle of Tampines – Launched recently, this EC saw all its 4- and 5-bedroom units fully sold out on launch day, reinforcing the market’s strong demand for larger EC units.
With upcoming EC launches in Tengah, developers will be keen to observe this trend and may increase the proportion of bigger units in their future projects.
