The Singapore condominium market is experiencing a narrowing price gap between new and resale condos, which is reshaping buyer preferences. New condos, especially those with modern amenities like smart home technology, remain popular for their extended leases and reduced renovation costs. However, resale condos are gaining traction due to their immediate availability and potential for immediate rental income.
Private home prices in Singapore are expected to increase by 4% to 6% by the end of 2024, driven by strong economic growth and population increase. The price growth, however, is anticipated to be moderate due to factors like high interest rates and global economic uncertainties.
Areas such as Punggol and the Greater Southern Waterfront are gaining popularity due to infrastructural developments and anticipated increases in commercial activities. These regions are expected to attract residential and commercial investments, contributing to condo growth.
Despite initial impacts from cooling measures, the luxury condo market, particularly in the Core Central Region (CCR), has shown resilience. Transaction volumes for resale luxury condos have increased, and prices for new launch luxury properties are rising, indicating a strong demand even in the face of high Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty (ABSD) rates for foreigners.
The market is experiencing an increase in supply with new launches, but demand remains robust. Sales figures indicate that while new home sales are steady, resale and sub-sale transactions are also on the rise, reflecting a balanced market.
