Non-landed home rents climbed a measly 2%

But rents in CCR dipped 1.1%.

According to SRX, based on a weighted average of PSF price changes in each of the 3 regions, overall rental prices for non-landed private residential in Mar 2013 remained largely unchanged from Feb 2013.

Rental prices went up by 2.0% in RCR for the month of Mar compared with Feb. In contrast, rents in the CCR fell by 1.1%. Rents in OCR remained largely unchanged.

Here's more from SRX:

On a quarterly basis, only RCR has seen a rental price increase of 3.5%, with both CCR and OCRs' rents held constant.

Against the backdrop of softening prices and stronger rental performances, rental yield has been on a rise across all regions in March. As at March, RCR showed the highest gross yield of 3.84%, followed by OCR's 3.74%. CCR's 3.13% is the lowest among the three.

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.
