Non-landed homes rental index inches up by 0.5% in Q3

This followed three consecutive quarters of decline.

The rental index for non-landed homes inched up by 0.5% quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) in Q3, after three consecutive quarters of decline, according to Savills.

It was driven by the strong performance of rents in both the Rest of Central Region and the Outside Central Region, which posted 1.7% and 2.2% QoQ growth, respectively.

The demand in these two markets was due to seasonal factors and a shift from public housing units to entry-level condominiums.

The Core Central Region, meanwhile, lagged with a 1.6% QoQ rental decline, marking its fifth consecutive quarter of decreases.

“Given the global economic uncertainty and the limited pool of professional expatriates with housing allowances, this suggests that the CCR still lacks the fundamental conditions for rental growth in the near term,” Savills said.

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.
