Brunei Darussalam’s Residential Property Prices Rise in Q2 2025

Bandar seri begawan: Brunei Darussalam Central Bank, BDCB has released the Residential Property Price Index, RPPI for the second quarter of 2025.

According to Radio Television Brunei, the index, compiled using data from banks and in collaboration with the Ministry of Development’s Authority for Building Control and Construction Industry, shows a 1.5 percent increase year-on-year compared to the second quarter of 2024, and a 9.9 percent rise quarter-on-quarter compared to the first quarter of 2025.

The report highlights 146 transactions for private residential properties in Q2 2025, marking a 41.7 percent increase from Q1 2025 and an 18.7 percent rise from a year prior. Detached houses accounted for 60.3 percent of these transactions, followed by semi-detached houses at 18.5 percent, terrace houses at 12.3 percent, apartments at 8.2 percent, and land at 0.7 percent.

The overall median purchase price for all private residential properties was BND254,500, reflecting a 15.7 percent increase from Q1 2025 and a 1.8 percent rise from Q2 2024. Median prices for specific property types were BND276,500 for detached houses, BND209,000 for semi-detached houses, BND235,000 for terrace houses, BND203,000 for apartments, and BND110,000 for land. The median price is used in the RPPI to mitigate the influence of unusually priced properties.

Most properties purchased in Q2 2025 were in Brunei Muara district, followed by Tutong and Belait districts, with no purchases recorded in Temburong district. The top five Mukims with the highest property purchases were Mukim Sengkurong, Mukim Kilanas, Mukim Gadong, Mukim Berakas B, and Mukim Lumapas.
