UOL's Dorset Gardens (about 428 units) is slated for the first half of 2027.

Market context: why October matters
August was quiet because no new project launched and it overlapped with Hungry Ghost Month, not because buyers vanished. October brings the biggest cluster of launches of the year, which is why previews are already open. Analysts quoted by EdgeProp expect price growth of about 2% to 5% for 2026; CBRE's own forecast is 2% to 4%. These are forecasts, not guarantees.
CCR, RCR or OCR: which suits you?
- OCR (suburban): usually the lowest entry price and the most launches. Lucerne Grand sits here.
- RCR (city fringe): shorter commutes, higher psf. Thomson Reserve and Dorset Gardens are here †.
- CCR (prime central): the highest psf and the smallest developments. The Serra Residences is here.

The HDB upgrader checklist
- Know your real budget. Work out the loan under TDSR first. Our mortgage calculator helps, and the TDSR guide explains the limit.
- Sort the HDB sale timing. Owning two homes at once can trigger ABSD. Read upgrading from HDB and use the stamp duty calculator.
- Understand new launch payments. You pay in stages, and completion is years away. See buying a new launch.
- Plan where you live meanwhile. Sell-then-rent or buy-then-sell each have costs.
- Compare psf like for like. See new launch prices.
- Visit twice, once at the preview and once on a weekday.

Frequently asked questions
What are the new launch condos in Singapore in October 2026?
The main October 2026 launches are Thomson Reserve (1,268 units, launch due in Q4), Lucerne Grand (570 units, bookings from 3 October) and The Serra Residences (133 units, official launch 16 October). Dorset Gardens (about 428 units) is slated for the first half of 2027. Check dates with the developer.
How much does a new launch condo cost in Singapore?
Recent and upcoming launches range from about $2,250 psf to over $3,000 psf, depending on location. Lentor Gardens Residences had a median of $2,357 psf in July 2026, and the developer's guide price for The Serra Residences starts from $3,120 psf.
Can HDB upgraders buy a new launch condo?
Yes. You will usually need to sell your HDB flat after the MOP, and buying a private home before selling can trigger ABSD. Plan the timing with an agent and your bank.
How does paying for a new launch condo work?
You pay a booking fee at the sales gallery, sign the Sale and Purchase Agreement, then pay in stages as construction progresses until the Temporary Occupation Permit.
Is a new launch condo better than a resale condo?
It depends. New launches have a long wait and a premium, but the latest layouts and facilities. Resale condos can be cheaper and ready to move in. Compare psf and your timeline.
