Condo rents went up by 2.9% MoM in March 2022

It rose for the 15th consecutive month, according to property firms.

The condo rental market in Singapore climbed to 2.9%, on a monthly basis, in March 2022 whilst it went up by 14% from March 2021, property firms, 99.co and SRX, said in their report.

According to their analytics, condo rental volumes rose by 21.2% to 4,683 units rented in March 2022 from 3,863 units rented in February 2022. However, on a yearly basis, condo rental volumes are 17.4% lower.

For the HDB rental market, rents increased by 1.4% MoM and 13.5% YoY.

HDB rental volumes were raised by 31.3% MoM from 1,767 HDB flats rented in March 2022 to 1,346 units in February 2022. Year on year, rental volumes declined by 17.2% from March 2021.

Property analyst, OrangeTee, said the rental volume increase could be attributed to safe management measures, which allowed more property viewings and a higher number of deals being closed. 

It also noted that higher demand for rental properties was also due to returning foreign workers and expats after borders reopened.

Huttons CEO Mark Yip said higher HDB rental volume last month stemmed from returning foreign students to private universities.

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.
