Non-landed luxury homes see price hike amid sales dip

This is amidst lower volumes in home transactions.

Singapore's luxury non-landed homes segment is slated for further price increase in the second half of the year despite transaction volumes falling, according to EDMUND TIE.

Transaction volume in non-landed luxury homes declined to 16 units in H1 2024 from 18 units in H2 2023, data from EDMUND TIE's 1H 2024 Prestige Homes Report showed.

This resulted in a 5.1% decline in total quantum to $249.6m in the first six months of 2024, from $263.2m in H2 2023.

Despite the lower volumes, the average transaction price for non-landed luxury homes rose by 6.7% to $15.6m, from $14.6m in the last six months of 2023.

One penthouse unit from The Skywaters Residences and two adjacent units from The Ritz-Carlton Residences were transacted above $5,000 per sq ft (psf) in H1.

The 7,761-sq-ft penthouse unit on the 57th floor of The Skywaters Residences was sold for $47.3m in May 2024, which was equivalent to $6,100 psf.

The last time that a unit crossed the $6,000 psf mark was in October 2022, when an 11,227-sq-ft unit in Les Maisonn Nassim changed hands at $68m, or $6,057 psf.

Two units in 32 Gilstead with 4,209 sqft and 4,198 sqft were sold for $14.5m each in April 2024. This is equivalent to $3,455 psf.

In the secondary sales market, the two adjacent Ritz-Carlton units changed hands at $16.5m each, translating to $5,367 psf in January 2024.

Whilst it is atypical for secondary sales to reach the high of S$5,000 psf, there were 11 of such transactions from 2021 to date, EDMUND TIE 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.
