The government is keeping the land taps open, 2026 supply is running more than 50% above its decade norm
The second-half 2026 Government Land Sales (GLS) programme will put 4,745 private residential units on the Confirmed List, slightly above the 4,575 units in the first half. Stack the two halves together and 2026's full-year Confirmed List supply hits 9,320 units, which the government says is more than 50% higher than the annual average over the past 10 years. This is not a one-off spike; it is a deliberately sustained, high level of supply.
GLS Supply (past decade)
What was actually announced
The 2H2026 programme has nine Confirmed List sites and 13 Reserve List sites. The Confirmed List, sites the government will release on schedule regardless of demand, carries 4,745 units (including 735 Executive Condominium units) across eight private residential plots and one White site. The Reserve List, which developers must trigger before it sells, holds a further 4,455 potential units.
The headline pipeline number: this injection lifts the total supply of private homes (including ECs) to around 61,000 units, up from about 57,000 today. Of those, around 32,000 are unsold units that developers could release for sale over the next two years or so.
Here are the eight residential plots and the JLD White site on the Confirmed List:
