Cooling measures, high interest rates curb overall prime home demand

Rent for prime homes increased by 1.4% QoQ.

The market's cooling measures and high interest rates dampened overall prime home demand, according to JLL.

New home sales also fell due to a lack of new launches whilst resale deals were capped by price gaps despite growing interest.

Vacancy increased quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) as new project completion surged.

As for prime non-landed homes, prices rebounded QoQ after slipping for three quarters. The increase was supported by local and foreign purchasers’ demand. Meanwhile, investors remained deterred by the high Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty.

Overall rent for both landed and non-landed prime homes increased by 1.4% QoQ.

“We expect prime leasing market conditions to improve over the coming quarters, driven by the anticipated economic growth and increased business hiring activities,” said JLL.

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.
