Number of vacant private homes climbed to over 21k in Q3

Island-wide vacancy rate is at 7.1%.

The number of vacant private homes climbed to 21,569 in the third quarter, up 1.4% from 21,268 vacant private homes in Q2.

According to Savills, the vacancy rate of private residential units remained flat at 7.1% in Q3, following five consecutive quarters of increase since 2Q13.

“The high leasing demand seen in the record number of lease transactions inked in this quarter has resulted in more homes being occupied,” noted Savills.

Data released by the Urban Redevelopment Authority showed that leasing volume of private residential properties jumped 15.2% qoq in the third quarter to 17,775 cases.

Meanwhile, there were a total of 302,510 available private homes in Singapore in Q3, an increase of 1.5% from the 297,998 units at the end of June.

“The majority of new homes granted Temporary Occupation Permits in the period of July to September were mostly located in the OCR while there was only one major project, The Meyerise with 239 units, completed in the RCR,” noted Savills.

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.
