Condo rentals plunge 25.5% in February amidst seasonal slowdown

Leasing volume hit a five-year low of 4,995 units as Chinese New Year slowed the market to a crawl.

Condo rental volumes in Singapore fell to an estimated 4,995 units in February, down 25.5% from 6,708 units in January, according to the latest 99-SRX Media Flash Report.

This is also 1.3% lower than February 2025, and 4.5% below the five-year February average. the report said.

Overall condo rental prices decreased 0.2% month on month with prices in the Rest of Central Region (RCR) and Outside Central Region (OCR) falling by 0.5% and 0.4%, respectively, whilst the Core Central Region (CCR) recorded a 0.8% increase.

Year on year, overall prices rose 2%, with gains of 2.3% in the CCR, 1.5% in the RCR, and 1.6% in the OCR.

Mr. Luqman Hakim, Chief Data & Analytics Officer at 99.co, noted that the February decline reflected seasonal patterns around festive periods such as Chinese New Year, when leasing activity typically slows.

Regional breakdown for February 2026 showed 35.6% of rentals in the OCR, 33.8% in the RCR, and 30.6% in the CCR.

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.
