To The Moon

In 2025, total new private home sales (excluding ECs) reached 10,821 units, up 67.3% year-on-year from 6,469 units in 2024 — the highest level since 2021. At the same time, residential prices continued to edge higher. For the full year, prices rose by approximately 3.4% — not an aggressive surge, but clearly maintaining an upward trend. New home transactions surged, but the more tradable opportunity could be in REITs. For investors: the opportunity is trading REITs? Strong home sales do not mean investors need to buy physical property. For stock market participants, S-REITs offer a more liquid and flexible way to express a view on property fundamentals while trading interest-rate expectations and cash-flow re-rating. The key takeaway from the housing rebound is not price momentum, but: demand resilience, more stable rental fundamentals, and manageable asset-side pressure. Once the market starts pricing in an easing rate environment, REIT prices often respond faster than physical property values. Beyond blue chips: mid-cap S-REITs that became more active in 2H 2025 Large REITs tend to attract long-only allocation flows. But in 2H 2025, trading activity picked up meaningfully among a group of mid-cap S-REITs, driven by events, operational data, and shifting expectations. Their common trait: liquidity followed catalysts. $Lendlease Reit(JYEU.SI)$— Asset recycling in focus 👉 Average daily turnover jumped from S$2.5m in 1H to S$6.7m in 2H Sold part of its JEM office asset to reduce leverage and unlock capital; Subsequently acquired a 70% stake in PLQ Mall, funded by a private placement that was nearly 3× oversubscribed. $AIMS APAC Reit(O5RU.SI)$ — Sponsor signal + industrial cash flow 👉 Trading liquidity more than doubled in the second half Sponsor increased its stake to nearly 18.7%, strengthening alignment; Acquired an industrial asset with positive DPU accretion; Industrial REITs continue to be viewed as defensive cash-flow vehicles $Sasseur Reit(CRPU.SI)$ — Consumption recovery validation 👉 Notable increase in trading activity during 2H 2025 Anniversary sales at four outlet malls delivered >30% YoY growth in single-day sales.
