For the whole of 2023, a total of 82,257 exclusive real estate properties were rented in 2023, dropping 8.9% y-o-y. This is the lowest leasing amount ever since 2016, Savills accentuate.

Further completions in 2024, which Savills determines at 9,636 new units, will place additional descending tension on rental fees. Nevertheless, while rental charge corrections are on the horizon, landlords with lease contract that are going to end in the coming months are anticipated to raise leas for brand-new agreements, believes Alan Cheong, executive supervisor for research and consultancy at Savills Singapore. “Landlords that have leases due will probably still get a rental uplift because the present rental fees are still greater than those contracted two years ago,” he points out.

Furthermore, higher mortgage prices and property taxes might prompt some property managers to try to pass on these costs to their lessees. Nevertheless, Cheong cautions that property managers looking for rents higher than the present market price may fail to acquire a tenant, offered the range of alternatives currently available on the market.

Furthermore, Savills notes that a basket of condominiums tracked by the company saw their total average month to month lease drop 2.2% q-o-q in 4Q2023, rooted by lesser rents for more than half (60.5%) of the condos.
