Significant increase in house supply drags private rental price growth

In October, rents declined by 0.2% MoM.

With more condominiums being completed over the past year, private rental prices remain stagnant for the eighth consecutive month in October.

“The sluggish rental price growth can be attributed to a significant increase in housing supply,” OrangeTee said.

Rental volumes have likewise been on a downward trend, marking its third consecutive month of decline in October.

“This trend is expected to persist over the next two months due to the year-end holidays,” said OrangeTee.

In 2024, the private residential market will continue to experience a further slowdown as domestic demand continues to contract. 

“Approximately 10,000 more private homes are slated for completion, adding more housing supply next year. The increase in supply and lower demand may further add downward pressure on rental prices,” OrangeTee said.

OrangeTee said rental price growth will likely moderate to around 2-5% next year, down from 29.7% in 2022 and 12-14% in 2023.

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.
