Private condo resale prices rose 6.2% in 2017

The resale volume also surged 79.7% to 895 units.

The resale price of private condominiums rose 6.2% YoY in December, the Singapore Real Exchange (SRX) revealed.

According to flash data, Core Central Region (CCR), Rest of Central Region (RCR), and Outside Central Region (OCR) recorded a YoY price increase of 6.2%, 8.9%, and 4.4% respectively.

December prices were down by 2.1% from the peak in January 2014.

Meanwhile, resale volume surged 79.7% from 498 units in 2016 to 895 units in 2017.

This is a 38.3% decrease compared to 1,450 units resold in November 2017.

Here's more from SRX:

The median Transaction Over X-Value (TOX) in December 2017 is POSITIVE $12,000. It is unchanged compared to the same POSITIVE $12,000 TOX in November 2017.

For districts with more than 10 resale transactions in December 2017, District 13 (Macpherson/Potong Pasir) posted the highest median TOX at POSITIVE $490,000.

This means that a majority of the buyers in those districts purchased units above the computer-generated market value.

District 17 (Changi Airport/Changi Village) posted a TOX of NEGATIVE $19,000.

This means that a majority of the buyers in these districts purchased units below the computer-generated market value.

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.
