Chart of the Day: Private home vacancy rate eased 0.3 ppt to 6.1% in Q3

Vacant stock fell by 817 units to 22,819.

This chart from Savills Research & Consultancy shows that the vacancy rate of private homes improved by 0.3 ppt to 6.1%, the lowest in almost six years, at the end of Q3 2019. At the same time, vacant stock fell by 817 units to 22,819.

However, the vacancy rate is expected to inch up slightly by the end of the year, as a total of 2,704 private home units are expected to be completed in Q4.

Completions of new private residential properties fell to 1,093 units in the quarter, and stock across the island inched up 0.1% QoQ to 372,085 units by end-September. Partly due to a lack of major project completions, the stock in the CCR shrank for five consecutive quarters, dipping 0.2% QoQ.

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.
