Private homes rental index in 2022 is the highest since 2007

The URA rental index for all private homes grew 29.7%.

Rental index for all private residential properties in Singapore went up 29.7% in 2022 YoY, the highest since 2007, Savills said.

The property expert said the rental increase was driven by a limited number of completions at the start of the year and more foreign entry. The increasing number of viewings and the ease of letting have also influenced landlords to raise their asking rents.

Savills also said the luxury properties posted a surge in monthly rents, increasing 5.8% quarter-on-quarter to $5.83 per square foot (psf) in the fourth quarter of 2022. This is the highest since the second quarter of 2008 when the average rent was at $6.01 psf.

For the full-year, monthly rents of luxury non-landed projects increased 35.9% YoY, the largest yearly growth since 2005.

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.
