Chart of the Day: See how the residential leasing market fared in Q1

Luxury rents were surprisingly resilient.

This chart from CBRE shows that non-landed residential rents booked mild declines in the first quarter.

Based on CBRE’s basket of non-landed properties, the average rent for luxury homes remained stable at $4.95 psf/month during the quarter, on back of their limited supply and exclusive locations.

In a more competitive environment, the average rent for homes in the rest of the prime districts contracted by 1.1% quarter-on-quarter to $4.55 psf/month.

Meanwhile, the average rents for the rest of the island fell by 1.6% quarter-on-quarter to $3.15  psf/month.

On year, rents have declined by 2.0%, 4.2% and 6.0% respectively for luxury, prime and the rest of the island.

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.
