With the vast majority of housing policy focused on marriage and families, singles often feel left out. At the same time, price levels in the private market have prevented many with single incomes from entering it, or limited options towards the smaller units. In this insight we highlight:<ul><li>More Singaporeans are choosing to remain single, yet housing options are limited for those who are not married. </li><li>The psf prices of smaller condo units have remained largely stable, while sizes have shrunk to keep quantums affordable. </li><li>The recently revised CPF grant for resale flats also benefit singles, but is unlikely to move the needle when it comes to affordability.</li><li>Single parents continue to fall through the gap in housing policy.</li></ul>
