Resale home volume drops to a three-year low in 4Q23

Only 2,586 units exchanged hands last quarter.

The number of resold homes in 4Q23 dropped to 2,586 units, marking the lowest quarterly sales since 2Q22. The whole year, resale volume declined by 18.4% from 14,003 units in 2022 to 11,426 units.

The number of resale transactions in 2023 is also lower than the five-year average of 13,353 units from 2018 to 2022.

Meanwhile, resale home prices saw an upturn in 4Q23 as prices rose in the luxury, city fringe and suburban areas, according to OrangeTee.

Based on data from the URA, the average price of resale homes, excluding executive condominiums, grew 2.7% from $1,630 psf in 3Q23 to $1,674 psf in 4Q23.

Meanwhile, non-landed properties saw a 3.7% QoQ price increase, whilst landed properties dipped 3.1% in resale price in 4Q23.

The average price of non-landed and landed homes in the prime districts increased by 2.2 % from $2,081 psf in 3Q23 to $2,127 psf in 4Q23

In the same period, prices in the city fringe grew 2.3% from $1,742 psf to $1,782 psf, while those in the suburbs grew by 2% from $1,423 psf to $1,451 psf.

OrangeTee expects the prices of resale homes to increase moderately in 2024 as supply falls by 48.2%.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up 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. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
