Prices of resale non-landed homes up 3.2% to hit a historic high in 3Q

Average price now stood at $1,156psf.

The gain is led by a 2.5% m-o-m increase in Sep.

According to Singapore Real estate  Exchange (SRX),  this 3.2% gain in resale prices contrasts with the fall of 2.2% in new sales prices according to caveats lodged over the same period.

SRX said that it is important to note that the strong 3.2% growth in resale prices contrasts with the much smaller gain posted by the flash URA PPI released on Oct 1 because the URA PPI takes into account new sales (which fell 2.2% in this quarter). The URA PPI does not take into account the last 3 weeks of Sep sales (which rose 2.5% m-o-m) uses a different methodology from the average PSF approach.

Amongst all regions, RCR posted the strongest quarterly gain of 7.1% for resale non-landed in Q3 to hit a historic high of $1,199psf. This is followed by a smaller gain of 3.0% increase in OCR and a more muted increase of 0.75% in CCR. Gross Rental yields remained stable at 4.0% in Q3 due to a corresponding increase in rental prices compared with resale prices.

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.
