In the third quarter of 2025, the property auction market in Singapore saw a notable increase in the number of properties listed for auction. According to research by Knight Frank Singapore, there were a total of 132 auction listings in the quarter, excluding properties that were sold outside of auction or were repeat listings.
This marks a 10% rise from the previous quarter, which had 120 auction listings, and a 53.5% increase compared to the same period last year. This surge in listings can be attributed to the rise in mortgagee sales, which saw 85 listings in the quarter, a 32.8% increase from the previous quarter’s 64 listings.
Knight Frank’s research points to the recent reduction of interest rates and the convenience of electronic bidding platforms as the main factors contributing to the rise in mortgagee listings. Additionally, there were 29 owner sale listings in the quarter, a decrease of 29.3% from the 41 listed in the previous quarter. The remaining 18 listings were of other property types, up from 15 in the previous quarter.

Of the nine properties successfully auctioned, six were sold at a discount from their opening prices, with discounts ranging from 2.2% to 14.7%.
