Private condo prices up 1% in March

Prices in non-Central areas climbed 1.6% and led growth.

The prices of private condos jumped 1% from February to March 2018, the National University of Singapore (NUS) revealed in its Singapore Residential Price Index Series (SRPI). This is significantly higher than the 0.5% growth in February.

According to the index, the index value of prices in non-Central areas (excluding small units) climbed 1.6% and led the growth for the month. This beat the 0.1% growth in February.

Meanwhile, the index value of prices in Central areas, excluding small units, jumped 0.1%. This is slower than the 1.1% change in February.

The prices of small units, rooms with a floor area of 506 sqft or below, jumped 0.9%. 

The Central region sub-basket comprises properties within the overall SRPI basket located in Postal Districts 1 through 4 and 9 through 11 whilst properties in the other postal districts are in the non-Central region sub-basket.

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.
