The June 2025 2nd Certificate of Entitlement (COE) results are in, and after a noticeable drop in the previous round, prices are starting to bounce back. While not all categories have recovered to previous highs, this bidding round signals that the market may be entering a new phase of adjustment.

Let’s break down the numbers and help you decide whether it’s time to buy, sell, or wait.

COE Price Comparison: June 1st vs June 2nd Bidding

Category	June 1st Bidding	June 2nd Bidding	Change
CAT A (Cars ≤1600cc & 130bhp)	$96,999	$98,124 🔼	+$1,125
CAT B (Cars >1600cc or >130bhp)	$113,000	$116,670 🔼	+$3,670
CAT C (Goods vehicles & buses)	$62,000	$65,000 🔼	+$3,000
CAT E (Open category)	$113,900	$116,889 🔼	+$2,989

What’s Happening in the COE Market?

After a sharp dip across all categories in the June 1st bidding, this second round shows a modest recovery in every category, especially for Category B and C. Here’s what’s likely driving the change:

Delayed demand returning to the market after observing the previous drop.
Dealers adjusting pricing and strategies ahead of Q3 sales campaigns.
Buyers regaining confidence, especially in anticipation of possible COE quota revisions.

This rebound suggests the dip was short-term, not a full market cooldown.

Should You Buy or Sell Now?

For Buyers:

CAT A remains below $100K, offering a window of opportunity for small car or hybrid buyers.
CAT B and E are rising again but still lower than early May highs, so if you're planning to upgrade, this might be the sweet spot before prices climb again.
Commercial buyers (CAT C) should act soon — $65K is still reasonable, but trends suggest recovery.

For Sellers:

The market is warming up again. If you held off due to the last dip, now may be a good time to re-list or negotiate a stronger price.
With COE prices on the rise, buyer urgency may return, especially for those fearing another hike next round.

What to Expect in the Next Bidding?

We may be seeing a stabilisation phase — not the extreme spikes of 2023–2024, but still elevated premiums due to:

Consistently strong car demand.
Limited quota releases.
Festive or school holiday periods influencing demand patterns.

Expect Category B and E to hover close to current levels or inch higher if the rebound sustains. For CAT A, watch for a potential return to $100K in the next round if demand holds.
