RHB: Resale volume continue to grapple with rising interest rates

The new home sales fell short of the broker’s expectations at 7,384.

Resale volume will keep slowing down as new home sales are below expectations at 7,834 units, RHB said.

In 2023, new sale volume will inch up to 8,000 to 9,000 but it will still take a hit on pricing expectation mismatch and rising interest rates.

“We expect resale volume to be 5%-20% year-on-year lower in 2023,” said RHB in its brokerage report.

On the developers' side, earnings are expected to be backed by healthy pre-sales and investment income.

Local residential market will remain resilient in 2023 despite rising interest rate pressures.

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.
