Singapore’s residential market expects boost in sales, prices in Q4

The residential price index dropped 0.7% QoQ in 3Q from 0.9% growth in 2Q.

Strong demand for newly launched residential projects in Singapore may boost primary sales and overall property prices in the fourth quarter, following a decline in the third quarter, EDMUND TIE reported.

The residential price index dropped by 0.7% QoQ in Q3 2024, offsetting the 0.9% growth in Q2 2024, as buyers focused on more affordable condominiums and competitively priced new suburban units.

The landed segment experienced a 3.4% QoQ decline, reversing the 1.9% growth seen in Q2 2024, whilst the non-landed segment edged up by 0.1% QoQ, building on the 0.6% growth recorded in Q2 2024.

The increase in the non-landed segment was driven by a 0.8% increase in the RCR segment, though the CCR segment fell by 1.1%. Prices in the OCR segment remained unchanged in Q3 2024.

In the rental market, rates ended a three-quarter decline with a 0.8% QoQ increase, driven by a surge in rental transactions, which jumped 24.4% to 25,731 in Q3, up from 20,676 in Q2 2024.

“Residential rental rates are expected to remain stable as landlords and tenants bridge pricing expectations,” EDMUND TIE noted.

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.
