How will rising interest rates affect the residential property market?

Expect higher mortgages and reduced demand.

Homeowners are expected to service higher monthly mortgages as the SIBOR continues to trend upwards, while rising interest rates will also dampen demand and increase the number of mortgagee sales.

According to Colliers, homebuyers should adopt an even more cautious view of their ability to service a housing loan on back of higher interest rates, though the SIBOR remains well below its historical high prior to the Global Financial Crisis.

Colliers Deputy Managing Director Grace Ng stated that rising mortgage costs will reduce housing demand, while the number of mortgagee sale listings is expected to trend upwards and hit the 200 mark this year.

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.
