Chart of the Day: Private resale non-landed prices hit historic high

Private resale non-landed prices rose by 3.2% in the third quarter.

The Singapore Real Estate Exchange reported:

Private resale non-landed prices rose by a strong 3.2% in Q3 to hit a historic high of $1,156psf.

The gain is led by a 2.5% m-o-m increase in Sep.

This 3.2% gain in resale prices contrasts with the fall of 2.2% in new sales prices according to caveats lodged over the same period.

It is important to note that the strong 3.2% growth in resale prices contrasts with the much smaller gain posted by the flash URA PPI released on Oct 1 because the URA PPI: takes into account new sales (which fell 2.2% in this quarter); the URA PPI does not take into account the last 3 weeks of Sep sales (which rose 2.5% m-o-m); uses a different methodology from the average PSF approach.

Amongst all regions, RCR posted the strongest quarterly gain of 7.1% for resale non-landed in Q3 to hit a historic high of $1,199psf. This is followed by a smaller gain of 3.0% increase in OCR and a more muted increase of 0.75% in CCR.

Gross Rental yields remained stable at 4.0% in Q3 due to a corresponding increase in rental prices compared with resale prices.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options 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. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
