New private home launches sink to 20-year low in H1

There were only 1,939 units launched– the lowest since 2004.

New home sales and launches sank to an all-time record low in the first half of 2024, according to a report by OrangeTee Group.

Singapore reported only 1,889 sales in the primary home market.

Only 1,939 units were launched during the six month-period. This is the lowest number of launches since 2004, when 2,080 units launched in the H1 period, noted Christine Sun, chief researcher & strategist, OrangeTee Group.

Private residential prices experienced slower growth, at 2.3% in H1. This is slower than the 3.1% price increase in H1 2023 and the 4.2% price increase in H1 2022.

Prices rose 2.5% rise to S$2,411 per square feet (psf) in Q2.

Earlier, OrangeTee Group said that developers' sales in 2024 are unlikely to surpass 2023 figures despite an expected improvement in the second half of the year.

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.
