Buyer demand for private homes down in Q4 22

New cooling measures led to the slowdown of price growth in the final quarter.

There was a reduced homebuyers’ demand for the private residential property segment as new cooling measures, rising interest rates and economic slowdown continue, property analysts said.

In a statement, Cushman & Wakefield made the comment as the government revealed the price increase of private residential property in 2022 increased 8.4% from 10.6% in 2021.

For CBRE, it observed that the city fringe or the rest of the central region found the highest increase in non-landed property prices at 2.6%. It performed well whilst “the core central region saw a more subdued increase of 0.5% and the outside central region saw a decline of 2.6%. 

For Knight Frank’s part, the top performer is the OCR in terms of price growth and sales volumes.

“Whilst the price index in the OCR dropped by 2.6% q-o-q in Q4 2022, it gained 9.3% for the year,” said Knight Frank.

Price expansion in 2022 was also bolstered by the strong take-up of new launches in the first three quarters of the year.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
