Private home prices to soften to 8%: report

Rising interest rates and financing situations will impact prices.

Amidst rising interest rates and tighter financing conditions, private residential prices are expected to soften for the year of 2022 compared to 10.6% in 2021, Edmund Tie & Company, said.

As for primary sales activity, it will likely moderate to 10,000 units due to the impact to the home sales.

New home sales will also bear the brunt of tight labour market conditions whilst the rising inflation will encourage property buyers to seek out property as an effective hedge against inflation.

“In addition, the continual sombre economic data points and forecasts are likely to help rein in unfettered demand,” read the report.

The overall property market is still backed by a tight labour market, ongoing economic revival, and demand-supply dynamics.

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.
