2 bedroom condo Singapore: what it costs, rents for and yields, and how big it is
By Realila
A two-bedroom condominium or apartment in Singapore cost a median $1,439,500 as a resale and $1,813,300 at new launch in 2025. It rents for $5,200 a month in the core central region, $4,300 in the rest of central and $3,600 outside central. Its gross rental yield is 3.29%, and a new one is 678 sqft whichever region it is in. Below $1 million, 315 sold in 2025, all resales.
Each of those numbers comes from a research note that shows its data, its method and what it does not tell you. This page gives the answers first, in the order buyers and tenants ask the questions; the link in each paragraph opens the note behind it. Last updated 3 September 2026.
What it costs
The median resale two-bedroom sold for $1,439,500 in 2025 and the median new launch for $1,813,300, and the gap between new launch and resale is widest in the OCR, where it grew from 3.8% in 2017 to 29.4% in 2025.
Per square foot, a resale two-bedroom sells for $1,776, against $1,700 for a three-bedroom and $1,784 for a one-bedroom, so the small-unit premium per square foot has gone from the resale market and survives only at new launch.
A CCR two-bedroom sold for a median $2,060,000 in 2025 against $1,250,000 in the OCR, and the CCR costs 44.1% more per square foot than the OCR.
What it rents for
Median monthly rent in 2025 was $5,200 in the CCR, $4,300 in the RCR and $3,600 in the OCR. Rents rose 30%, 48% and 57% from 2017, almost all of it in 2022 and 2023, so the CCR's premium over the OCR narrowed from 74% to 44%.
What it yields
A two-bedroom has a gross rental yield of 3.29% against 2.89% for a three-bedroom, and the two-bedroom's lead has more than tripled since 2017, because its price premium disappeared while its rent premium held.
By region the rental yield is 3.45% in the RCR, 3.40% in the OCR and 3.12% in the CCR. The CCR has had the lowest rental yield in every year since 2017, because its price premium over the OCR is double its rent premium.
How big it is
A new-launch two-bedroom is 678 sqft in the CCR, the RCR and the OCR alike. A resale one is 936 sqft in the CCR, 807 in the OCR and 786 in the RCR, and in the RCR and OCR the resale two-bedroom has been shrinking, losing size from 936 to 786 sqft in the RCR and from 947 to 807 in the OCR as the compact units of the 2010s age into the resale pool.
What $1 million buys
315 two-bedrooms sold at or below $1 million in 2025, one in twenty-seven of all two-bedroom sales and every one a resale; none of the 4,537 new launches was below it. Below $900,000, 88 sold; below $700,000, none. The ten projects that sold the most sub-million two-bedrooms in the twelve months to August 2026 are all in the OCR, nine of them leasehold.
Freehold, leasehold and age
At equal building age, a freehold two-bedroom costs 8.6% to 34.3% more per square foot than a leasehold one, and the premium grows with age; the headline premium looks smaller because the freehold stock is older and differently mixed. The two-bedroom's premium over larger units shows no pattern by building age.
What this page does not tell you
Every figure here is a market-wide or regional median as at its note's data date, and the note states that date; a specific unit's floor, facing, age and project move its price and rent more than any median does. The notes are not listings and do not say what is for sale.

- Sentosa Cove property: what fifteen years of prices show
Almost everyone who bought at a Sentosa Cove launch has lost money, and one number explains most of it: the price the developer charged, against the $1,679 per square foot the resale market has settled at since 2012. Five notes, summarised.
- Sentosa Cove rental yield: why it is higher than prime mainland
Size for size, Sentosa rents 2.5% to 21% more than prime mainland and costs 4% to 29% less, so it yields about 40% more. For buyers at the launches it is still not enough: sixteen years of rent recovers about 60% of their capital loss.
- Sentosa Cove: entry price beat every other factor
Buyers who paid under $1,679 per square foot made money 50 to 72 percent of the time, whichever route they used. Buyers who paid more made money 5 to 9 percent of the time, whichever route they used.
