If you already own a landed home or another large property, a recent analysis from Stacked Homes offers a reference point on how the market values land. In the first half of 2026, freehold terraces averaged $5 million and freehold strata landed homes $3.95 million, a gap of about $1.05 million.
The reason is ownership. With a strata landed home, you own the house but not the land, which is shared by all residents in the development. A conventional terrace comes with its own plot. The market has been willing to pay a large premium for the latter, and the gap varies from about 6% in District 13 to nearly 39% in District 11, according to the same report.
For an owner, the first takeaway is that land ownership has a visible price. If you own a conventional landed home, that premium is part of what you hold, though it does not mean the value of your own house will follow any average. Condition, size, street and timing all matter, and the figures cover only the districts where a comparison was possible.
The second takeaway is that owners considering a move should think about what they are trading. Some owners look at downsizing or moving to a home with shared grounds, lower maintenance and security, while others prefer to keep control of their own plot. The $1.05 million gap shows the market sees these as different products, with different prices.
Dunearn Green is a different product again. It is a 99-year leasehold condominium by a joint venture of Wing Tai Holdings and Metro Holdings, with ground-floor retail and about 330 units. Sixth Avenue MRT is about 630 metres away, and registration of interest is open. An owner of a larger home who is curious about a condominium alternative can compare the lifestyle and the cost on the location page and through a site visit.
A leasehold condominium and a freehold landed home cannot be compared on price alone. Tenure, size, running costs and plans for the next decade should all be part of the conversation. Anyone thinking about selling an existing property should also account for transaction costs and the timing of any purchase, and seek independent advice.
Above all, the Stacked Homes figures describe half a year of transactions. They are a snapshot of past prices and do not suggest what any home will fetch tomorrow.
Anyone planning a move should also think about the sequence: whether to sell first or buy first, how long the sale might take, and what the carrying costs are in between. Those practical details often matter more to the final outcome than the headline price of either home, and an independent adviser can help map them out.
