Are home sizes in Singapore shrinking?
Edgeprop

The sizes of the homes where we grew up — whether HDBs or condos — were larger in the 1990s and 2000s. The average size of a new condo was 1,272 sq ft in 1995, 1,286 sq ft in 2005, and 858 sq ft in 2015. In 2024, the average size was 929 sq ft. However, demographics were vastly different back then.
