Moreover, the overall prices grew by 9.7% in December, down from 10.8% in the previous year.

“For the next few months, buying sentiments are expected to remain cautious. Most buyers will likely be prudent in their home purchases, due to economic uncertainties, high mortgage rates and cooling measures,” Pow Ying Khuan, Head of Research, 99 Group, said.

“For 2023, condo resale prices are expected to rise moderately, but slower than the yearly growths recorded in the past two years. Volumes likely to subside slightly from 2022 which recorded close to 12,000. Supply and construction delays are improving with more units reaching TOP in 2023 and developers are expected to launch about 10,000 to 12,000 new units.”

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.
