Singapore’s residential market expects boost in sales, prices in Q4

The residential price index dropped 0.7% QoQ in 3Q from 0.9% growth in 2Q.

Strong demand for newly launched residential projects in Singapore may boost primary sales and overall property prices in the fourth quarter, following a decline in the third quarter, EDMUND TIE reported.

The residential price index dropped by 0.7% QoQ in Q3 2024, offsetting the 0.9% growth in Q2 2024, as buyers focused on more affordable condominiums and competitively priced new suburban units.

The landed segment experienced a 3.4% QoQ decline, reversing the 1.9% growth seen in Q2 2024, whilst the non-landed segment edged up by 0.1% QoQ, building on the 0.6% growth recorded in Q2 2024.

The increase in the non-landed segment was driven by a 0.8% increase in the RCR segment, though the CCR segment fell by 1.1%. Prices in the OCR segment remained unchanged in Q3 2024.

In the rental market, rates ended a three-quarter decline with a 0.8% QoQ increase, driven by a surge in rental transactions, which jumped 24.4% to 25,731 in Q3, up from 20,676 in Q2 2024.

“Residential rental rates are expected to remain stable as landlords and tenants bridge pricing expectations,” EDMUND TIE noted.

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.
