Private home prices to remain under pressure as supply balloons: analysts

Prices have drifted down by 0.4% in 2Q.

The inflow of newly completed units continue to exert pressure on Singapore’s private home market, with analysts predicting a 5%-8% price correction this year.

According to a report by CIMB, the drop of private home prices was led by outside of the central region, which fell 0.7% qoq while HDB resale prices inched up 0.1% qoq.

Meanwhile, the report added that the looming deadline for unsold inventory facing Qualifying Certificate and Additional buyers’ Stamp Duty penalties should intensify from 2017 and we anticipate developers lowering prices to clear stock.

“This will provide another drag to private home prices, on top of the supply indigestion,” the report said.

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.
