Prime residential prices in Singapore grows by 5% YoY in 1Q24

The index revealed a robust average annual growth rate of 4.1% across 44 markets.

Singapore reported a 5% annual increase in prime residential prices in 1Q24, Knight Frank's Prime Global Cities Index revealed.

The index revealed a robust average annual growth rate of 4.1% across 44 markets, the highest since 3Q22. The recent figure is a recovery from zero growth in 2022 but remains below the long-term average of 5.4%. Meanwhile, quarterly growth strengthened to 1.1% from 0.3% in 4Q23. 

Seventy-eight per cent of cities experience annual price growth, with only 19% seeing declines, notably less than a year ago. Manila leads with 26.2% annual growth, followed by Tokyo, Mumbai, and Delhi. Perth ranks fourth with 11.1% growth.

“The rebound in global housing markets is continuing, as evidenced by our Prime Global Cities Index reaching 4.1% annual growth, said Liam Bailey, Knight Frank’s global head of research.

“Rather than heralding a return to boom conditions, the index indicates that upward price pressures stem from relatively healthy demand, set against continued low supply volumes,” he continued.

Bailey also suggests a future rate pivot may increase market liquidity.

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.
