Over 1.4m new flats expected to flood the market by 2018, says MND

Housing stock will grow by about 11%.

Minister for National Development Khaw Boon Wan revealed that Singapore’s housing stock is expected to grow to 1.43 million new units by 2018, an increase of 11% from the current stock of 1.28m units.

Minister Khaw maintained that the residential market has achieved a better balance between sellers and buyers as home buyers now have plenty of choices.

Of the incoming stocks, 75% of the new stock will be allocated to HDB estates, and the remaining would be in the private sector.

OSK DMG expects new home sales including Executive Condominiums to hit 7,000 – 9,500 units this year, while property prices are expected to drop 6-10%.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

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.
