Why Singapore rents are falling
In H1 2024, rents fell by 4.5% HoH and 5.6% YoY.
Singapore has fallen to the bottom of the rankings of cities with the biggest prime rental value changes, and experts attribute this to rents in Singapore being "out of sync with global trends."
"Starting in 2022, when markets around the world saw rents continue to decline, Singapore experienced a very sharp run-up in prices. In 2024, rents are now correcting in an orderly fashion as more supply comes online," said Alan Cheong, executive director of Research & Consultancy at Savills Singapore.
According to Savills Prime Residential Index: World Cities – Rents and Yields, Singapore's rents have fallen by 4.5% HoH and 5.6% YoY, placing it at the lowest position in the index.
