Singapore's home leasing market feared to decline as foreign demand wanes

Rents predicted to fall.

According to Savills, the residential leasing market may see a decline in demand from a shrinking pool of overseas nationals as more employment restrictions are implemented.

Similarly, rents in some locations may continue to see a correction, particularly in the mass-market segment, due to strong competition from new supply, as well as smaller rental budgets amid the rising cost of living in Singapore. However, the recent regulations from the Housing and Development Board on sub-letting entire flats to non-citizen individuals could help to mitigate the decline in city fringe and suburban areas.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
