Condo rentals surge 38.1% in July

OCR made up 3,772 units of the monthly total.

Condo rental volumes increased by 38.1% month-on-month in July to about 9,627 units, the highest monthly volume in a year, compared to 6,973 in June, according to flash estimates from 99.co and SRX.

Year-on-year, rental volumes were 10.6% higher compared to 8,701 units in July 2025.

Rental activity also remained 19.5% above the five-year average for July.

By region, the Outside Central Region accounted for 39.2% of total rental transactions at 3,772 units, followed by the Rest of Central Region at 33.2% with 3,193 units, and the Core Central Region at 27.7% with 2,662 units.

Looking at the wider trend over the past 12 months, rental activity has followed an uneven trajectory.

The market entered a period of decline starting in August 2025, when volumes stood at 7,963 units, continuing to fall until November at 5,320 units.

Rental volumes then staged a brief two-month recovery, rising to 6,041 units in December and 6,757 units in January 2026.

Volumes sank to their lowest level of the 12-month period in February, at 5,022 units.

Activity remained relatively flat between March and April, at 6,386 units and 6,492 units, respectively.

Rental activity cooled once again in May to 5,858 units, before climbing to 6,973 units in June.

That set the stage for July's sharp rebound to 9,627 units. Momentum from June carried into July's rebound, capping a volatile 12 months for the segment.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

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