Slump in resale condo activity in April due to US tariffs and market uncertainties
Sales momentum in the resale condo market stalled in April, with 1,044 condo units worth nearly $2.11 billion being resold during the month - compared with the 1,173 resale transactions valued at $2.27 billion transacted in March.
The decline in resale home market activity could have been due to the economic uncertainties and market volatilities spurred by the US liberation Day tariffs on 8 April. During the month, overall home sales activity saw a pullback as more buyers adopt a wait-and-see approach, opting to observe how the US-tariff situation would unfold before making any decisions. In April, new sales accounted for just 37% of non-landed transactions, while resale transactions accounted for more than half of transactions (59%, see Chart 1).

Due to the surge in city-fringe new launches from One Marina Gardens and Bloomsbury Residences during the month, the average unit price of new non-landed homes sold rebounded strongly after dipping for two consecutive months. The average new sales price jumped by 17.8% month-on-month (MOM) to $2,756 psf in April, while the average resale unit price inched up by 0.7% MOM. As such, the new sale and resale price gap expanded to 54.7% in April (see Chart 2). This is the widest the new sale-resale price gap has been since September 2023 when it stood at 61%.

Uptick in profitability and winners
In terms of profitability, resale condo units transacted in April saw a pickup in gains compared with the previous month. Analysing the profits reaped by resale non-landed private homes in March and April 2025, it was found that resale condo deals garnered higher profits. That said, the proportion of loss-making transactions crept up in April 2025 over the previous month. The resale profit analysis involves computing gains achieved for the units by matching the condo resale transactions in April against their respective previous purchase price, according to caveats lodged.
The study showed that 15.4% of resale condo transactions (135 deals) in April made more than $1 million in profits, compared with 13.6% in March. Of these million-dollar profit-making deals, a substantial portion (36.5%) came from the Outside Central Region (OCR) homes (35.8%), followed by city fringe or Rest of Central Region (RCR), and Core Central Region (CCR) homes (27.7%). Loss-making deals in April accounted for 4.5% of transactions, ticking up from the 4.3% in March (see Chart 3).

The average profit was subsequently computed on a project basis. To minimise sampling errors, resale condominium projects that posted fewer than five transactions during the month are excluded from the study. Based on URA Realis caveat data analysed by PropNex Research, the most profitable condo in the CCR, was Horizon Towers in District 9, which pulled in an average profit of more than $1.1 million across five transactions in April. Horizon Towers was also the overall best performing project in terms of average profit quantum in April.
