๐๏ธ๐ก Why can a $4M penthouse take longer to sell than a smaller condo in the same development?
More space doesn't automatically mean stronger resale demand.
In Singapore's resale market, larger units and penthouses often trade at a lower PSF than standard-sized units, because the total purchase quantum narrows the pool of buyers who can afford them. PropertyNet's valuation methodology specifically accounts for this size effect when comparing larger units and penthouses.
Once the price crosses $4M, buyers become increasingly selective.
๐ฐ Higher total quantum
Even when the PSF looks attractive, the absolute amount of cash, CPF and financing required can be substantial.
๐ฅ Smaller buyer pool
A conventional 3- or 4-bedroom unit may appeal to many upgrader families. A $4M+ penthouse needs a buyer who wants both the space and the lifestyle.
๐ Not all penthouse space is equal
Roof terraces, voids, oversized balconies and awkward layouts may increase the stated floor area without adding equivalent everyday utility.
๐ฆ Financing matters
At higher price points, TDSR, downpayment requirements and monthly repayments become increasingly important.
But this doesn't mean penthouses are poor performers.
They can outperform when they offer something genuinely difficult to replicate:
๐ Exceptional views
๐ก Efficient internal living space
๐ฟ Usable outdoor areas
๐ Privacy or private lift access
๐ A highly desirable location
๐ข Very limited competing penthouse supply
Recent transactions show just how property-specific this market can be. A 2,508 sqft SilverSea penthouse transacted at about $4.91M in September 2026, while Maple Woods recorded penthouse transactions of $4.1M and $5.8M in 2026.

๐ With penthouses, bigger isn't automatically better.
The real question is whether the additional space creates enough scarcity, usability and lifestyle value for the next buyer to pay for it.
