The Challenge
Why Real Estate in Singapore Need Google Ads (SEM)
Singapore's real estate market presents unique challenges for digital advertising. With over 30,000 registered property agents competing for a limited pool of high-value transactions, inefficient Google Ads campaigns can rapidly drain budgets. Here are the core challenges real estate professionals face with paid search.
Extremely High Cost Per Click for Property Keywords
Property-related keywords in Singapore are among the most expensive in the market, with cost per click ranging from SGD 8 to SGD 35 for terms like 'new launch condo Singapore', 'property for sale Singapore', and 'executive condo 2025'. Without expert campaign management, agents and agencies can burn through thousands of dollars monthly with little to show for it. Broad match keywords and poor negative keyword management are the most common culprits behind wasted spend in real estate SEM.
Poor Lead Quality from Broad Targeting
Many real estate Google Ads campaigns attract low-quality leads from tenants, students, and casual browsers who have no intention or financial capability to purchase property. Broad keyword targeting and generic ad copy fail to filter out unqualified clicks, resulting in sales teams wasting hours following up on leads that will never convert. In a market where the average property transaction exceeds SGD 1 million, lead quality matters far more than lead volume.
Wasted Budget on Unqualified Clicks
Without proper audience segmentation, negative keyword management, and landing page optimisation, real estate agencies routinely waste 40-60% of their Google Ads budget on clicks that never convert to genuine enquiries. Common waste areas include clicks from competitors researching the market, clicks from overseas users with no Singapore buying intent, and clicks on broad informational queries like 'property market news' that indicate research rather than purchase intent.
Seasonal Market Fluctuations and Policy Changes
Singapore's property market is uniquely sensitive to government cooling measures, ABSD rate changes, interest rate movements, and seasonal patterns. Property search volumes and conversion rates fluctuate significantly around Budget announcements, URA land sales, and major new launch weekends. Campaigns that fail to anticipate and adapt to these fluctuations overspend during low-intent periods and under-invest when buyer intent peaks.

Singapore Market
Understanding Real Estate in Singapore
Singapore's residential property market transacts approximately SGD 25-35 billion annually across new launches, resale, and Executive Condominium segments. The market is shaped by government policies including Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty (ABSD), Total Debt Servicing Ratio (TDSR) limits, and periodic cooling measures. With over 30,000 registered property agents and 1,600+ registered estate agencies, competition for buyer leads is fierce. Digital advertising has become the primary lead generation channel, displacing traditional newspaper advertising and property fairs.
Over 30,000 CEA-registered property agents in Singapore
Average new launch condo transaction value exceeds SGD 1.5 million
72% of property searches in Singapore begin on mobile devices
Google Ads cost per click for property keywords ranges from SGD 8 to SGD 35
Regulatory Landscape
Real estate advertising in Singapore is regulated by the Council for Estate Agencies (CEA) under the Estate Agents Act. Agents must display their CEA registration number in all advertisements, use accurate property descriptions, and avoid misleading claims about pricing, availability, or investment returns. The Property Misdescriptions Act further requires that property details shared in marketing materials are accurate. Magnified ensures all Google Ads campaigns and landing pages comply with CEA advertising guidelines and the Ethical Code of Professional Conduct.
Consumer Behavior
Singapore property buyers conduct extensive online research before engaging an agent or attending a showflat. The buyer journey typically spans 2-6 months, beginning with broad searches like 'new launch condo 2025' and narrowing to specific developments, locations, and price ranges. Key decision factors include location proximity to MRT stations and schools, pricing versus comparable developments, developer track record, and unit layout. Most serious buyers request floor plans and pricing information online before visiting a showflat, making landing page quality critical for lead generation.

Our Process
Phase 1: Strategy and Setup (Weeks 1-2)
We audit your existing Google Ads account (if applicable), analyse your competitive landscape, and develop a comprehensive campaign strategy. This includes keyword research, audience definition, campaign architecture design, ad copy development, and landing page wireframing. We also review your current lead handling process to ensure no qualified enquiries fall through the cracks between ad click and agent follow-up.
Phase 2: Launch and Optimisation (Weeks 3-6)
We launch your campaigns with careful monitoring and rapid optimisation. During the first four weeks, we focus on data collection, bid refinement, negative keyword expansion, and ad copy A/B testing. Landing pages are continuously optimised based on conversion data. By week 6, campaigns are typically generating a steady flow of leads at or below target cost per acquisition.
Phase 3: Scaling and Market Response (Month 2 Onwards)
With optimised campaigns delivering consistent results, we focus on scaling successful ad groups, expanding into new keyword opportunities, and responding to property market dynamics. Budget allocation is adjusted based on new launch timelines, market conditions, and seasonal patterns. Monthly strategy sessions ensure campaigns remain aligned with your business priorities and market opportunities.
Case Study
How a CBD Property Agency Generated 340 Qualified Leads for New Launch Condos in 4 Months
The Challenge
A mid-size property agency in the CBD with 45 agents was spending SGD 12,000 monthly on Google Ads but generating mostly unqualified leads. Their previous approach used broad match keywords, generic ad copy, and sent all traffic to their main website. Of approximately 180 monthly leads, fewer than 25 were genuinely interested buyers. The cost per qualified lead was an unsustainable SGD 480, and agent morale was declining due to hours wasted on unqualified follow-ups.
Our Approach
- Restructured the entire Google Ads account into campaigns segmented by property type (new launch, resale, EC), district groupings, and buyer intent level
- Built a negative keyword list of 620+ terms to filter out tenant searches, overseas queries, competitor clicks, and informational browsing traffic
- Created CEA-compliant ad copy with property-specific messaging for 8 active new launch campaigns including specific development names, TOP dates, and starting prices
- Designed dedicated landing pages for each new launch development with floor plans, pricing guides, developer information, and pre-qualified enquiry forms
- Implemented lead scoring to automatically prioritise high-intent enquiries and route them to senior agents within 15 minutes
Results
340 in 4 months (from 25/month to 85/month)
Qualified Leads
Reduced from SGD 480 to SGD 128
Cost Per Qualified Lead
4.2x based on closed transactions
Return on Ad Spend
68% reduction in time spent on unqualified leads
Agent Follow-Up Efficiency
“The difference is night and day. Before Magnified, our agents were drowning in useless leads from renters and time-wasters. Now, the leads that come through are serious buyers who have already seen the floor plans and pricing. Our conversion rate from lead to viewing has more than tripled, and we have closed multiple seven-figure transactions directly attributable to the campaigns.”
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Most real estate agencies in Singapore allocate between SGD 5,000 and SGD 25,000 per month for Google Ads depending on the number of property types and developments being promoted. Individual agents typically start with SGD 2,000-5,000 per month for a focused campaign on their primary market segment. Given the high transaction values in Singapore property (average above SGD 1 million), even a single closed deal from Google Ads can deliver substantial ROI relative to the monthly advertising investment.
We use a multi-layered targeting approach combining high-intent keywords (e.g., 'new launch condo District 9'), audience signals such as property research behaviour and income indicators, geographic targeting focused on Singapore residents, and negative keyword lists that filter out tenants, students, and informational browsers. Landing pages with pre-qualifying questions further filter leads before they reach your agents, ensuring only genuinely interested buyers enter your pipeline.
Every ad copy and landing page we produce is reviewed against CEA advertising guidelines before going live. We include required elements such as CEA registration numbers, ensure property descriptions are accurate and not misleading, and avoid prohibited claims about investment returns or guaranteed appreciation. Our compliance checklist covers the Estate Agents Act, Property Misdescriptions Act, and CEA's Ethical Code of Professional Conduct.
We implement lead scoring systems that evaluate each enquiry based on signals such as form completion quality, property budget indicated, purchase timeline, and engagement depth on the landing page. Leads are categorised as hot, warm, or cold, with hot leads routed to agents within 15 minutes. Monthly reporting tracks the full funnel from click to viewing to closed transaction, giving you a clear picture of actual ROI rather than just lead volume.
Our real estate clients in Singapore achieve an average return on ad spend of 3.6x, meaning every SGD 1 invested in Google Ads generates SGD 3.60 in commission revenue. Given that a single new launch condo transaction can generate SGD 15,000-40,000 in commission, even conservative campaigns that close 2-3 deals per month from Google Ads deliver exceptional ROI. The key is precise targeting and lead qualification to ensure ad spend is directed at genuine buyers.
We can launch Google Ads campaigns for new property developments within 3-5 business days from receiving the development details, including floor plans, pricing, and approved marketing materials. For agencies seeking always-on campaigns covering resale and general property services, the initial setup takes approximately two weeks including keyword research, campaign architecture, ad copy development, and landing page creation. Urgent campaigns can be expedited when needed.
