Private residential prices to soar 5% in 2023

Financing costs and cooling measures may have dampened demand.

The cost of private homes is expected to rise by 5% next year on the back of financing costs, cooling measures, and uncertain macroeconomic conditions, said Cushman & Wakefield.

It said the total residential volumes in 2023 could be subdued below 20,000 units whilst rental growth will ease due to the influx of new supply.

But the slow private residential demand will be offset by “a robust rental market, low levels of unsold inventory and rising property replacement costs.”

The private residential rental market has outperformed “amongst all other property segments, with rents increasing by 20.8% in the first three quarters of 2022.”

“The robust growth in rents was driven by limited supply, transient leasing demand due to construction delays of new homes in 2020 and 2021, and higher expat demand,” said C&W.

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.
