Rental prices for private properties see sharp spike in Q2 as expatriates return

Prices rose by around 8% to 15% in Q2.

Rental prices in the private market saw a sharp spike in Q2, rising 8.89% QoQ for non-landed properties, and 15.30% QoQ for landed properties.

Last quarter, prices for non-landed and landed properties only grew by 6.40% and 4.04%, respectively.

According to PropertyGuru, the surge in rental prices was likely due to the return of expatriates to Singapore, as well as low residential vacancy rates.

The higher rental price growth will likely continue in Q3, according to PropertyGuru, adding that “tight rental supply and low residential vacancy rates create a ripe formula for enduring rental price growth in the private property markets.”

Rental price growth, however, is expected to moderate by 2023 as more projects reach completion.

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.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
