Luxury homes seized in Singapore’s $3 billion money laundering case are selling slowly. Only five of 47 auctioned properties have sold, including a New Futura unit for $8.5 million.
High prices, the 60 per cent ABSD for foreign buyers, and competition from cheaper new prime launches are weighing on demand.
Experts say Sentosa Cove homes may struggle more because freehold city units offer better resale value.
SINGAPORE – A freehold luxury condominium unit at New Futura in Leonie Hill Road owned by the wife of Wang Bingang, one of the suspects in the $3 billion money laundering case, was knocked down at an auction for $8.5 million on Oct 28.
This is 13% below the guide price of $9.8 million for the 2,691 sq ft property, but $500,000 above the $8 million paid for a similarly sized unit in the River Valley project in July 2025.

新加坡30亿美元洗钱案中查获的豪宅销售缓慢。47套拍卖房产中仅售出5套,其中包括一套位于新福图拉(New Futura)的公寓,售价850万美元。
高昂的价格、外国买家需缴纳 60% 的额外买家印花税 (ABSD) 以及来自价格更低的新优质房源的竞争,都对需求造成了压力。
专家表示,圣淘沙湾的房屋可能更难卖出去,因为永久产权的城市住宅单位转售价值更高。
新加坡——10月28日,位于里昂山路新福图拉的一套永久产权豪华公寓单元在拍卖会上以850万美元的价格成交。这套公寓的所有者是王秉刚的妻子,王秉刚是30亿美元洗钱案的嫌疑人之一。
这比这套 2,691 平方英尺房产的指导价 980 万美元低 13%,但比 2025 年 7 月在 River Valley 项目中购买的类似大小的单元的 800 万美元高出 50 万美元。
