HDB rental market may face a downturn in H2

Leasing volumes to fall to 36,500–38,000 units in 2024.

The HDB rental market may see a downturn in the second half of the year, driven by reduced inventory and the typical year-end lull.

OrangeTee highlighted that fewer flats reaching their minimum occupation period over the past two years has led to a decline in available rentals.

"Demand may also decrease as more tenants shift back to the private market, attracted by the competitive rental rates landlords offer," the expert said.

For the year, OrangeTee expects leasing volumes to drop to 36,500-38,000 units from 39,138 units in 2023.

Meanwhile, the experts foresee an easing of HDB rental price to only 2% to 3%, from 10.2% growth in 2023.

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.
