Average private rentals for 3-bedroom down 3.2% MoM in May

But year-on-year, rents for this category grew 17.8%.

District 4 of Singapore is the submarket with the highest monthly rents at $9,300, followed by District 1 with $8,900, Savills reported.

Next is District 9 at a media monthly rent of $7,500.

But the average median private non-landed property rents for the 1-to-4-bedroom overall dropped 2.2% MoM across all districts. In contrast, April 2023 posted a 2.4% MoM increase.

Savills said a weakening in rents was expected due to an influx of new supply and challenging economic woes that made firms tighten their budgets.

Alan Cheong, Executive Director of Savills Research & Consultancy, said this may allow renters in Singapore to be relieved as in the air as rentals in more districts start to soften. Cheong said investors’ financial position is “still protected as the rental decline remains moderate.”

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
