COTD: Rents across all residential markets decline QoQ

The ultraluxury segment fell the most.

Rents across all market segments declined on a quarterly basis, with the ultraluxury segment falling the most by 6.1%, according to a Knight Frank report.

The report noted that landlords were defensive, prioritising occupancy amidst cost-of-living concerns threatening to reduce Singapore’s appeal to foreigners.

Moreover, in the past five years, the non-landed private home price index for the CCR grew by a cumulative 27%, against the gains of 47% and 46% made in the RCR and OCR, respectively.

“In the leasing market, conditions are expected to remain stable, where the overall rental growth remains on track to range between 1% and 3%,” Knight Frank said.

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.
