Singapore Fixed Home Loan Packages Edge Higher as Yields Firm Ahead of 2027

Key Takeaways

Homebuyers and property owners hoping for a straight-line drop in mortgage rates received a reality check this week as major banks in Singapore adjusted their two- and three-year fixed home loan packages upward by 10 to 20 basis points. The repricing follows a rebound in global treasury yields and Singapore dollar interest rate swaps.

Throughout the first half of the year, intense competition among local and foreign banks pushed promotional two-year fixed packages down to multi-year lows. However, because banks fund fixed-rate mortgages through the wholesale interest-rate swap market, firmer global inflation expectations quickly feed through into retail mortgage rate sheets.

Despite the modest uptick, two-year fixed packages remain highly attractive relative to floating SORA-pegged loans, particularly when they include a free conversion option after 12 months should rates ease later in 2027.
