Moreover, the overall prices grew by 9.7% in December, down from 10.8% in the previous year.

“For the next few months, buying sentiments are expected to remain cautious. Most buyers will likely be prudent in their home purchases, due to economic uncertainties, high mortgage rates and cooling measures,” Pow Ying Khuan, Head of Research, 99 Group, said.

“For 2023, condo resale prices are expected to rise moderately, but slower than the yearly growths recorded in the past two years. Volumes likely to subside slightly from 2022 which recorded close to 12,000. Supply and construction delays are improving with more units reaching TOP in 2023 and developers are expected to launch about 10,000 to 12,000 new units.”

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.
