Luxury non-landed residential sales fall 43.7% in 1H2022: Knight Frank
The very first quarter documented a sharp decline of 50.6% q-o-q in prime non-landed domestic sales, as a result of added buyer’s stamp duty walks for foreign buyers enforced in December last year. In the second quarter, prime non-landed residential sales recovered by 29.4% q-o-q as service views improved as well as financiers sought to Singapore as a safe haven in the midst of international unpredictability.
Top quantum sales continued to come from new tasks like Les Maisons, which clocked the leading 3 highest purchases in value for 1H2022. Device prices ranged from $4,953 to $5,461 psf (or $34.6 million to $59.8 million). The 4th greatest purchase in value for 1H2022 was a resale system at The Nassim which was sold for $20 million, suggesting “demand for luxury-sized systems in beautiful all set to move-in problem”, claims Keong.
Deluxe non-landed domestic sales reached $1.1 billion in the initial fifty percent of this year, sliding by 43.7% from the 2nd fifty percent of last year, according to a Knight Frank report released today (July 12).
” Nevertheless, an absence of saleable stock in family-sized systems remained to restrict sales,” states Nicholas Keong, head of exclusive workplace at Knight Frank. “Foreign buyers’ rate of interest included the sale of 22 high-end houses in Draycott Eight to an Indonesian family for an overall estimated value of $168 million.”

Based upon URA information, rates for landed homes continued to enhance in the second quarter by 2.9%, bringing the cost growth to 7.3% for 1H2022. The half-yearly development was steeper than 6.3% in 1H2021, regardless of cooling procedures enacted in December last year.
Difference between the assumptions of buyers as well as sellers, as well as spikes in premiums for landed houses, brought about slower sales in 1H2022, describes Keong. Average device rates climbed by 14.5% over the past 2 years as the pandemic heightened demand for larger home.
Keong anticipates need for high-end non-landed homes, particularly fully-furnished larger-sized devices prepared for immediate tenancy, to remain solid in 2022, as worldwide travel returns to pre-pandemic levels.
“Transaction worth for landed homes reached an overall of $2.9 billion in 1H2022, a 46.9% decrease from $5.4 billion recorded in 2H2021,” states the Knight Frank report.
Keong expects deal task to regulate because of a weak global outlook, with landed home rates increasing by 10% in 2022.
Lacklustre sales in the Great Class Bungalow (GCB) section proceeded from in 2014, decreasing by 55.3% in 1H2022 from 2H2021, brought on by weak financial conditions and also cost resistance from sellers who were unwilling to lower rate expectations. Nevertheless, prime sites with eye-catching story dimensions were still being transacted. Just recently, a GCB with a land dimension of 34,216 sq ft on 42 Chancery Lane was purchased by the daughter-in-law of Filipino mogul Andrew Tan for $66.1 million, according to Keong.
