HDB rents fall by 0.5% in October

Rentals are waning with 1,602 rented this month.

The HDB was hit by cascading rentals in 3 and 4 room flats this month, posting 0.5% and 1.2 % decreases in rents, respectively.

According to SRX Property, this spoiled rising rentals in 5-room and executive room flats which saw 0.1% and 1.1% increases in rentals, respectively. Year-on-year, HDB rentals are now down by 3.3%.

“Rents in October were down 7.2% compared to its peak in August 2013 (138.2),” SRX Property said.

Meanwhile, rental volume doesn’t paint a prettier picture, decreasing by 3% to 1,602 in October compared to 1,652 units rented last month.

“Year-on-year, rental volume in October 2015 decreased by 7.8% from October 2014,” SRX Property said.

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.
