Why HDB rental transactions dropped in November

In November, the number of HDB flats rented fell by 15.2% MoM.

The HDB rental market has started to feel the effect of the seasonal slowdown, with volumes dipping 15.2% MoM to 1,691 flats in November.

According to Huttons, demand for HDB rental flats will likely contract in December and only pick up after the holiday season.

Apart from the seasonal slowdown, OrangeTee said HDB rental volumes may have been affected by the non-renewal of Malaysians.

“The drop in HDB rental transactions could be due to more Malaysians not renewing their lease and going back to their daily commute across the Causeway,” OrangeTee said.

In 2023, OrangeTee said the hiring slowdown in some sectors will likely reduce demand for HDB rental flats.

Year-on-year, rental volumes were down by 10.0% in November. Of the total HDB flats rented, 37.7% were 3 Room, 4.6% were 4 Room, 22.7% were 5 Room and 5.0% were Executive.

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.
