Private residential supply up by 12.5% to resolve unsold inventory

The residential supply under the government programme was up to 3,505 units.

To replenish developers’ landbank, the private residential supply under the government land sales (GLS) programme increased by 12.5% from the first half of 2022 to the second half (H2) of 2022.

This is according to analyst CGS-CIMB’s report which also discussed that the overall residential land supply earmarked under the H2 2022 GLS is at the highest level since the end of 2018.

Aside from replenishing developers’ landbank, the growth in supply will also “extend their development income visibility, while taking into account macro uncertainties, including rising interest rates and slower economic growth outlook.”

According to Singapore Real Estate Exchange data, private and HDB resale prices rose by 0.7% and 1.1%, respectively month-on-month in April 2022. 

With this, CGS-CIMB said it retains its expectation that private home prices to soar by up to 5% in 2022.

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.
