Completed condo unit prices climb 0.6% in June

Led by a 0.7% uptick in central region prices.

June saw prices of completed condo units in Singapore climb 0.6%, according to the latest National University of Singapore's (NUS) Singapore Residential Price Index (SRPI).

Prices of completed condos in the central region grew by 0.7%, while prices of homes in non-central regions rose by a more marginal 0.4%.

Meanwhile, prices of small units, or those smaller than 506 square feet, inched up 0.2%.

Further, ERA comments that luxury properties have enjoyed greater demand from buyers in recent months, as purchasers look to invest for the longer term. Given the luxury market was depressed for some time, it has become more alluringly priced compared to other major cities.

ERA further shares that as the MAS has stated that the cooling measures will not be removed as yet, more buyers who had been on the sidelines can be expected to commit to a purchase should they chance upon an attractive buy.

“Real estate in Singapore, seen by many as safe haven assets, will continue to see healthy interest as investors search for ways to park their money. However, capital appreciation is expected to be limited in the short term as loan caps and the uncertain market outlook keep a lid on prices,” ERA posits.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
