When it comes to landed properties in Singapore, detached homes occupy the highest rung of exclusivity. Representing the pinnacle of freehold living, they offer unmatched privacy, plot size, and redevelopment potential. Yet in District 14 (Eunos / Geylang / Paya Lebar), just like every other district, detached homes form the rarest segment of the landed market, with just 31 active listings as of August 2025.
In this week’s Landed VIP Club edition, we zoom in on D14’s detached homes—exploring their price dynamics, supply trends, and long-term investment potential.
Detached Homes in Context: Why They Matter
Detached homes in D14 stand apart for several reasons:
The combination of exclusivity and location positions detached homes in D14 as an aspirational choice for families who want both privacy and connectivity.
Supply Profile: A Market Anchored in Scarcity
The quantum price distribution of detached homes in D14 tells a clear story of exclusivity.
This distribution reflects a “barbell” structure—most activity occurs in the mid-upper bands, while both entry-level and ultra-premium tiers remain tightly held. The result is strong pricing support in the $7M–$12M range, where most affluent buyers transact.
Transaction Activity and Absorption Ratio
Between September 2024 and August 2025, detached homes in D14 recorded 5 transactions against a pool of 29 listings. This translates to an absorption ratio of ~5.8 months.
To put this in perspective:
This balance of rarity and steady absorption underscores that detached homes are not just trophy assets; they retain real liquidity within the landed spectrum.
Price Growth Performance: A Decade in Review
From 2015 to 2025 (YTD), detached homes in D14 achieved a CAGR of 4.3%.
Though slightly trailing the Overall OCR CAGR of 5%, D14’s detached segment demonstrates resilience and holding power, especially given its small base of supply and legacy ownership patterns.
Condition Spectrum: Reading Through the PLB Landed Framework
Price bands for detached homes are also closely aligned with property condition:
For buyers, this means that pricing reflects not only location and plot size, but also redevelopment stage. For sellers, understanding where their home sits on this spectrum is crucial to positioning and pricing strategy.
What Drives Demand for Detached Homes in D14?
Freehold Scarcity
Detached homes already form the smallest landed pool in Singapore. In D14, freehold tenure further amplifies their exclusivity—especially attractive to legacy buyers seeking multi-generational assets.
Location Advantage
Unlike Good Class Bungalows (GCBs), which are confined to central districts, D14’s detached homes are situated in city-fringe enclaves with excellent MRT and road links:
This balance of privacy and accessibility appeals strongly to affluent families.
Redevelopment Potential
Large land parcels offer flexibility for rebuilding into modern multi-storey homes with basement parking, lifts, or multi-generational layouts—an opportunity highly valued in today’s market.
Lifestyle Appeal
The proximity to Paya Lebar’s commercial transformation, Geylang’s food culture, and the green corridors of the Eastern waterfront enhances the liveability quotient for detached homeowners.
