Condo resale prices up 4% in December

A $19.75m unit in CCR was the most expensive condo resold in December.

Condo resale prices rose 4% in December 2024 compared to the same month in 2023, according to data from the SRX and 99.co.

Month-on-month, overall resale prices remained unchanged in December.

Prices in the central core region (CCR) saw a slight decrease of 0.2%, whilst the rest of central region (RCR) and outside central region (OCR) experienced modest increases of 0.1% and 0.5%, respectively.

Transaction volumes in December totalled 992 units, which is 2.5% lower than in November but 29.9% higher than in December 2023.

The decline can be attributed to the usual year-end slowdown, along with increased competition from the five new project launches in November, many of which saw high take-up rates, drawing potential buyers away from the secondary market.

Despite this, demand for resale properties remains strong, driven by interest in move-in-ready units, a preference for larger homes, and a growing price gap between resale units and newly launched properties.

As a result, resale prices are expected to continue rising in 2025, fuelled by an increase in new unit completions in 2024 and a potential easing of interest rates that could further strengthen demand.

Resale volumes for December were 10.1% above the five-year average for the month. Of the total transactions, 47.2% were in the OCR, 34.4% in the RCR, and 18.4% in the CCR. The percentage of sub-sale transactions, which involve secondary sales before project completion, was 7.4% in December, down from the previous month.

The highest recorded resale price for a condo in December 2024 was $19.75m for a unit at Eden Residences Capitol in the CCR. In the RCR, the highest transacted price was $10.15m for a unit at Jadescape, whilst in the OCR, the highest price was $3.52m for a unit at Kew Green.

The median capital gain for resale condos remained at $370,000 in December 2024.

District 13 (Macpherson/Potong Pasir) posted the highest median capital gain at $679,000, whilst District 1 (Boat Quay/Raffles Place/Marina) had the lowest at -$75,000.

Meanwhile, the median unlevered return for resale condos was 29.8%, with District 21 (Clementi Park/Upper Bukit Timah) posting the highest return at 48.5%, whilst District 1 saw the lowest at -4.2%.

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.
