Private residential non-landed rents increase by up to 10% in 2023

Year-to-date, rents have risen by 7%.

The momentum built up in the first half of the year will likely push overall rents for private residential non-landed properties to 10% in 2023, according to Savills.

Year-to-date, Savills said rents have already risen by 7%.

Across regions, the Outside Central Region (OCR) and the Rest of Central Region posted the highest rent increase at 8% each. Meanwhile, the Core Central Region (CCR) recorded a 6%
increase

Looking at 1- to 3-bedroom types, rents rose 7% for the CCR and 8% for the RCR and OCR.

In 3Q23 alone, rents have risen 15%.

Amongst regions, the RCR rose the most by 17%, followed by the OCR at 15% and the CCR at 12%.

By district, District 1 (Boat Quay/Marina/Raffles Place) ranked highest with the 3Q23 average rent for a 3 bedroom at $9,500 per month, followed by District 4 (Harbourfront/Telok Blangah) with $8,825 and District 9 (Orchard/River Valley) at $8,000.

"Matching these rental changes with what has been observed on the ground, tenants now have a greater choice of apartments to choose from," Savills said.

"With close to 18,000 units completed in 2023, the tight market conditions in 2022 will find relief. Today, there is considerably less pressure on tenants to attempt to close a rental deal because of the ample availability of choices," Savills added.

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.
