SINGAPORE: Private home prices in Singapore increased marginally in the third quarter of 2023, with analysts forecasting moderate growth for the rest of the year.
According to flash estimates released by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) on Monday (Oct 2), third-quarter prices went up by 0.5 per cent – described by URA as “broadly flat” – following the 0.2 per cent dip in the previous quarter, when it fell for the first time since the first quarter of 2020.
URA noted that the latest quarter-on-quarter increase was “significantly lower” than the average quarterly increase of 2.1 per cent for 2022.
Sales fell by about 15 per cent on a quarter-on-quarter basis and by about 26 per cent on a year-on-year basis.
