Singapore's Fertility Rate Is 0.87. Who Will Buy Your Big Family Home In Twenty Years?

Summary

Singapore's fertility rate has fallen to just 0.87, but does that mean fewer buyers for your big family home in the future? Not necessarily. While housing demand may continue to grow, changing household sizes and an ageing population could reshape the types of homes buyers want in the coming decades.

Fewer babies, changing demand: Singapore's fertility rate dropped from 0.97 in 2024 to 0.87 in 2025. Smaller future generations could eventually affect demand for larger family homes, although immigration, incomes and household formation will also play a role.

More households don't mean bigger homes: Resident households grew from 1.463 million in 2024 to 1.487 million in 2025. But more households, especially smaller ones, do not automatically translate into stronger demand for four- or five-bedroom properties.
