Home Value Estimate

Private residential rents fall 2.2% in May: Savills
Despite the month-on-month decline, the average median rent for a three-bedroom home has still risen 17.8% year on year

The average median rent for pri­vate non-landed homes in Singa­pore declined 2.2 per cent in May
2023, in contrast to the 2.4 per cent increase in the previous month, the Savills May 2023 Rental Guide indi­cated.Savills said the softening of ren­tals for this one-to-four bedroom category was due to an increase in new housing supply in 2023, as more projects are near completion and construction delay issues have
been resolved. It also noted that the challenging macroeconomic situation has com­pelled companies to tighten their budgets for staff. Cost-cutting has
extended to measures such as a smaller budget for expatriates’ ren­tal use as well as staff layoffs.Savills’ executive director of re­search and consultancy, Alan Cheong, commented that the weaken­ing rental is a relief for people seek­ing to find accommodation, as ren­tal rates “in more districts start to soften”.
In Cheong’s view, the impact to landlords is marginal as their over­all yields remain healthy. Despite weakening in rents, healthy overall yields allow landlords to “effective­ly counterbalance higher interest costs”. For investors, Cheong add­ed that their financial positions are still well protected as the rental de­cine remains moderate. By unit type, the average median rent for a three-bedroom home de­creased 3.2 per cent month on month. Year on year, the average
median rent increased by 17.8 per cent. In terms of the sub-market with the highest median monthly rents, Savills noted that District 4 was
ranked the highest at SS9,300 per month. This includes areas such as Sentosa, Mount Faber, Keppel andTelok Blangah.
This was followed by District 1 (Chinatown, Boat Quay, Havelock Road, Marina Square, Raffles Place, Suntec City) at S$8,500 and District 9 at S$7,500 (Cairnhill, Killiney. Le­onie Hill, Orchard, Oxley). Marcus Loo, chief executive offi­cer of Savills Singapore, said he be­lieves the period of rising private home rents is over as more homes come onto the market with the passing of the pandemic. He added that as economic headwinds strain tenants’ budgets, the rental correction would “allow the
market to reset to a more sustaina­ble foundation for the longer-term good of the economy”. Analysts say that rentals have softened on the increase in new
housing supply, as more projects are near completion and construction delay issues have
been resolved.

Rental Market in Singapore FOR 2022-2023 has been on the rise, especially from the beginning of 2022, and this trend is expected to continue in the short term.

Inflation is hitting Singapore’s housing market hard, and the next step of the property journey will be much more expensive.

Now for the rental housing market in Singapore, the recent hike in rental rates is no secret, largely due to the Construction delays of the new HDB flats and residential development.

The rental market in Singapore is heating up, with prices rising 8.5% in the first half of 2022.

Price hikes are increased Rental demand due to the pandemic and delays in the supply of new housing developments.

Foreigners are looking to bring their families to Singapore (Such as Hongkong/China).

More Locals want to rent after selling their properties.

Luxury Property Rental units. The Price will be expected to be stable as the high property tax and income taxes have largely raised the cost of renting; these are deterring the foreign landlords to rent cheaper to subsidize the tenants.

Let me add my own insights just for reference given that we have been listing properties and see response and communications with the landlords and tenants.

$18,000 per month above Category. Rent Price will remain Strong.

Scotts Highpark For Rent

$10,000 -$17,999 per month above Category. Rent Demand slightly lesser. Tenants now have more choices.

St Thomas Suites For Rent

https://buycondo.sg/property/the-teneriffe-cluster-landed/

$8,000 – $9,999 Rent Price will remain Strong. Due the Expats relocating with the families these price range is expected and within their price when they move their entire family over.

Corals At Keppel Bay for Rent

$6,000 -$7,999 In this price range, The demand will be good if the size of the apartment is minimum 1,000sqft above. Below 1000sqft the rental price may drop to lower tier nearer to $5,000.

St Patrick’s Residences for Rent

$4,000 – $5,999 In this price range, Depends on the location and the Size.

Parc Clematis Condominium for Rent

$4000 and below. In this category, 1 bedroom rents would be weak, apparently a 1 bedroom in Geylang or Joo Chiat can ask for $3,300 and a similar rent or slight higher can get you brand new Condo Near Town. ( This Category landlords should review the price accordingly and not the held the price for too long. Renting out the property with less vacancy is the key)

Faber Crest Condominium for rent

Home Value Estimate

Real Estate Market Outlook for Final Quarter 2023 and 1st Quarter 2024 Not optimistic.

The market is experiencing a meltdown, and the ripple effects may surface after another six months later, perhaps.

The Asking Price and Number of units available do not match the actual demand. There will be more empty units given that more condos have also obtained TOP. Normanton Park, Avenue South Avenue, Sky Everton, Dairy Farm Residences and many more.

Tell Tale Signs.

Landlords not having enough viewing request after listing the property two months before lease expiry.

Sellers may experience a lot of viewing but still cannot sell due to low supply in the market.

The lowest transaction volume in the last 50-60 months is a warning sign for the Singapore property market.

The property market is in a confusing and contradictory period, causing prices to be balanced, corrected, and stabilized.

Interest rates dropping may not be enough to counter the negative impact of external factors on the property market.

Closer Working Relationship with Your Appointed Salesperson

A property’s marketing strategy and pricing can determine whether it is seen as a serious sale or just an over-priced “show unit”, impacting buyer interest and decisions.

Agents to add value by being a consultant and advisory role to proactively prepare customers and update the market.

Understanding how to strategize and plan in a down market is crucial for survival in the real estate industry.
