Overview of September\u2019s rental market<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

According to Mr. Luqman Hakim, Chief Data & Analytics Officer, “September’s rental volume continued to decline for the second consecutive month despite stable demand on our portal. Tenants are becoming more discerning about rental prices and their lease agreements.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

He highlighted a significant shift in tenant preferences, reflecting a more cautious approach towards housing decisions.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Condo rental market<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In September 2023, condo rental prices experienced a subtle decline, dropping by 0.5% compared to August 2023.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

“We saw that it hit a ceiling in July 2023. After 2 consecutive months of a rental price decrease, it remains to be seen if we will see a lower rental ceiling”, noted Mr. Hakim.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This change varied across regions: rents in the Core Central Region (CCR) increased by 0.5%, rentals in the Rest of the Central Region (RCR) decreased by 0.2%, and Outside Central Region (OCR) rents witnessed a 1.3% drop.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Rental volumes followed a similar trend, witnessing a 15.2% month-on-month decrease. The detailed breakdown revealed that 35.7% of total volumes came from OCR, 33.1% from RCR, and 31.1% from CCR.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Year-on-year data shows an overall increase of 13.9% in rents from September 2022. CCR, RCR, and OCR rents increased by 11.1%, 14.9%, and 15.7% respectively during the same period. <\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
