Landed home sales struggle in Q3 as buyers hesitate on purchases

Sales fell 3.7% QoQ to 414.

Fewer landed homes exchanged hands in Q3, with sales volume easing by 3.7% QoQ to 414.

According to Huttons, some buyers delayed purchases during the Lunar Seventh Month and awaited the expected interest rate cut in September 2024.

The increase in new non-landed launches also led buyers to weigh their options.

Amongst segments, detached homes saw the steepest drop, with transactions declining from 46 in Q2 to 27 in Q3.

Semi-detached homes experienced a milder decline, from 136 to 130.

With lower volume, the total transaction value also declined, dropping 11.8% YoY to $2.1b.

Landed home prices in Q3 ranged from $0.5m to $14.2m for 99-year leaseholds and from $1.6m to $20m for 999-year and freehold properties.

The lowest sale was a semi-detached home at $0.5m, whilst the highest was a freehold property in Clementi Park at $20m

The lowest-priced sale was a semi-detached home at $0.5m, while the priciest was a Clementi Park freehold home at $20m.

Meanwhile, the most popular districts for the quarter were 13, 15, 16, 19, and 28.

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.
