As developers&#8217; land banks diminish, their tender submissions in government land sales or en bloc bids may rise. For competitive parcels like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/jalan-tembusu-lentor-hills-parcel-a-gls-sites\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">these GLS parcels<\/a>, the bid amounts could skyrocket or reach record-highs.<\/p>\n<p>If this goes unchecked, higher land sale prices may translate into higher per square foot pricing for residents and landlords. While DC often move in parallel with property prices, it is not always directly related, so it may sometimes be used as a way for the government to rein in developers from over-bidding and creating a pricing bubble, which will impact homebuyers as development costs trickle down.<\/p>\n<p>Not only that, DC also applies to developed projects, particularly those undergoing renovations or extensions. This usually applies to situations where an additional floor area or annexe wing needs to be added or the 99-year lease needs to be topped up.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/shutterstock_1959047233-e1636461204281.jpg\" class=\"img-link media-img img-link media-img\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-45167\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/shutterstock_1959047233-e1636461204281.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1050\" height=\"700\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Landed Residential<\/h2>\n<p>In the latest DC rate revision, while most property types like commercial and non-landed residential saw average rate increases between 0.3-0.7% compared to six months ago, landed residential registered an average 4.8% rise (following an average 6.3% rise in September 2021).<\/p>\n<p>Within the landed residential group, Sector 67 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/houses\/cluny-road-st46341a1c140742943050\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cluny Road<\/a>, Napier Road, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/neighbourhoods\/tanglin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tanglin<\/a>, Anderson Road, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/houses\/stevens-road-adXsAdQ54XExKtU4DkKdaT7Q\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stevens Road<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/houses\/dalvey-road-st61676d998a7964e26559\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dalvey Road<\/a>) saw a jump of 10% (on the heel of a +18.3% jump between September 2021-February 2022).<\/p>\n<p>This is followed by Sectors 47 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/sale\/houses\/oxley\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Oxley<\/a>), 63 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/houses\/whitley-road-ad9uxYQgU8D5t2SP7bzstkrg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Whitley<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/neighbourhoods\/malcolm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Malcolm<\/a>, Chancery), 64 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/neighbourhoods\/mount-pleasant\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mount Pleasant<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/houses\/caldecott-hill-estate-deTGvTRfV8Wv2dALCcaq2WmK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Caldecott<\/a>) and 91 (Mountbatten, Meyer, Broadrick) with a 9.1% increase each.
