HDB resale flats prices up 2.43% QoQ in Q3: PropertyGuru

This marks the 16th straight quarter growth.

Fueled by demand for larger HDB flat types, prices for median per square foot of HDB resale flats listed on PropertyGuru increased anew to 2.43% quarter-on-quarter in the third quarter (Q3) of 2022.

The asking price for HDB resale flats grew for 16 straight quarters, said PropertyGuru.

Other reasons behind rising HDB resale flats prices are due to young families unwilling to wait for the construction of build-to-order flats and the influx of flats that fulfilled the minimum occupation period.

The real estate expert also reported that buyers are mostly private property downgraders or HDB upgraders wanting to pay high “Cash Over Valuation amounts for the dwindling supply of larger flats.”

“If this momentum is sustained, we are looking at another record-breaking year, with more than 300 million-dollar flats transacted,” it said.

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.
