Condo resale market to see more sales activity in 2H23

In 2Q23, sales volume only dipped by 1.5% despite the April cooling measures.

Singapore's condo resale market will see more sales activity in the second half of the year due to more condominiums being completed, a report from OrangeTee revealed.

"Completed projects in suburban areas, especially those with big units, will remain popular in the era of flexible work model. About half of this year’s completions are in the OCR, which may ease some pent-up demand from HDB upgraders," the expert said.

OrangeTee predicts that total resale volume in 2023 will reach 10,000 to 12,000 units.

The expert added that the plethora of newly completed units will push the housing supply to a seven-year high and help stabilise property prices.

Condo resale prices have been rising for five straight quarters. In 2Q23, prices rose by 0.6% QoQ to $1,624 per square foot (psf). 

OrangeTee expects resale prices to rise at a slower pace of 5% to 7% in 2023, down from 8.7%  in 2022.

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.
