Singapore property rentals are on the rise

It is recently reported by the Singapore Real Estate (SRX) that the rental volume for both condos and the Housing & Development Board (HDB) rose substantially in July especially for the private market.

Ground observations reveal that international students and expat teaching staff are arriving in Singapore, thus boosting the demand in the rental market. An increase in rental volume may be caused by a temporary uptick in rental demand. This usually occurs during peak rental season from May to September. Many tenants are presumed to acquire accommodation especially before the start of the international school semester in August.

Many companies have paused hiring and are generally proceeding with caution amid geopolitical and economic uncertainties. Nevertheless, it is premature to say that the private rental market has bottomed out. At the moment, it is still a tenant’s market, and many people remain budget-conscious.

Mark Yip, CEO, Huttons Asia comments, “The employment market is still not as strong as 2023. There remains pockets of softness and the condo market may still fluctuate between growth and contraction in the coming months. The HDB market offers the most economical option for tenants and should continue to see steady growth of up to 5% for 2024.”

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.

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.
