Condo rents fall 4.2% YoY in Q3

Savills expects the YoY rent change to stabilise in the next quarters.

Condo rents for one-to-three-bedroom units dipped 4.2% year-on-year (YoY) in Q3 whilst rents fell 4.3% for one-to-five-bedroom units, according to Savills.

Overall, rents for one-to-three-bedroom units in the Core Central Region (CCR) fell by 1.5%; whilst the Rest of Central Region (RCR) and Outside Central Region (OCR) saw increases of 1% and 0.3%, respectively.

In the RCR, the average median rent for three-bedroom units in Districts 5, 8, and 13 increased by 3.8% quarter-on-quarter (QoQ). Rents in District 21 grew the most (4.2%) QoQ.

The largest growth can be seen in the OCR where the average median rents for three-bedroom units in Districts 28 and 14 grew by 5.3% and 4.4% QoQ respectively.

"Although rents are generally turning the corner on a QoQ basis, they are still below what they were a year ago," Savills noted.

“Over the next few quarters, we may see the YoY rent change begin to stabilise and hover around a + or – 1% difference."

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.
