Private residential non-landed rents increase by up to 10% in 2023

Year-to-date, rents have risen by 7%.

The momentum built up in the first half of the year will likely push overall rents for private residential non-landed properties to 10% in 2023, according to Savills.

Year-to-date, Savills said rents have already risen by 7%.

Across regions, the Outside Central Region (OCR) and the Rest of Central Region posted the highest rent increase at 8% each. Meanwhile, the Core Central Region (CCR) recorded a 6%
increase 

Looking at 1- to 3-bedroom types, rents rose 7% for the CCR and 8% for the RCR and OCR.

In 3Q23 alone, rents have risen 15%.

Amongst regions, the RCR rose the most by 17%, followed by the OCR at 15% and the CCR at 12%.

By district, District 1 (Boat Quay/Marina/Raffles Place) ranked highest with the 3Q23 average rent for a 3 bedroom at $9,500 per month, followed by District 4 (Harbourfront/Telok Blangah) with $8,825 and District 9 (Orchard/River Valley) at $8,000. 

"Matching these rental changes with what has been observed on the ground, tenants now have a greater choice of apartments to choose from," Savills said.

"With close to 18,000 units completed in 2023, the tight market conditions in 2022 will find relief. Today, there is considerably less pressure on tenants to attempt to close a rental deal because of the ample availability of choices," Savills added.

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.
