Luxury non-landed residential sales fall 43.7% in 1H2022: Knight Frank
Keong expects demand for high-end non-landed residences, particularly fully-furnished larger-sized systems ready for immediate occupancy, to stay strong in 2022, as global travel returns to pre-pandemic degrees.
High-end non-landed domestic sales got to $1.1 billion in the first half of this year, sliding by 43.7% from the 2nd fifty percent of last year, according to a Knight Frank record released today (July 12).
Lacklustre sales in the Great Class Bungalow (GCB) sector continued from in 2015, decreasing by 55.3% in 1H2022 from 2H2021, brought on by weak financial conditions as well as rate resistance from sellers that hesitated to decrease rate expectations. Nevertheless, prime websites with eye-catching plot dimensions were still being transacted. Lately, a GCB with a land size of 34,216 sq ft on 42 Chancery Lane was gotten by the daughter-in-law of Filipino mogul Andrew Tan for $66.1 million, according to Keong.

“Deal value for landed homes got to an overall of $2.9 billion in 1H2022, a 46.9% decline from $5.4 billion tape-recorded in 2H2021,” mentions the Knight Frank record.
Leading quantum sales remained to come from brand-new tasks like Les Maisons, which clocked the leading 3 highest possible deals in worth for 1H2022. Unit prices ranged from $4,953 to $5,461 psf (or $34.6 million to $59.8 million). The fourth highest possible deal in worth for 1H2022 was a resale unit at The Nassim which was sold for $20 million, indicating “need for luxury-sized systems in excellent all set to move-in problem”, claims Keong.
” Nonetheless, an absence of saleable stock in family-sized units continued to limit sales,” says Nicholas Keong, head of personal office at Knight Frank. “Foreign buyers’ interest consisted of the sale of 22 luxury apartments in Draycott Eight to an Indonesian household for a total approximated value of $168 million.”
The initial quarter recorded a sharp decline of 50.6% q-o-q in prime non-landed domestic sales, due to additional customer’s stamp duty walkings for foreign buyers enforced in December in 2015. In the 2nd quarter, prime non-landed residential sales recovered by 29.4% q-o-q as organization sentiments boosted and investors wanted to Singapore as a safe house in the midst of international uncertainty.
Based upon URA data, prices for landed residences remained to raise in the 2nd quarter by 2.9%, bringing the rate development to 7.3% for 1H2022. The half-yearly growth was steeper than 6.3% in 1H2021, despite cooling down steps enacted in December in 2014.
Keong anticipates deal task to regulate as a result of a weak international outlook, with landed home rates raising by 10% in 2022.
Difference between the assumptions of purchasers as well as vendors, as well as spikes in costs for landed houses, led to slower sales in 1H2022, discusses Keong. Typical system costs rose by 14.5% over the past two years as the pandemic increased demand for larger living spaces.
