Rents for condos, HDB flats slip further in Feb: SRX
Softness was widely expected and will likely persist this year, say property consultants
Singapore
SOFTNESS persisted in the residential leasing market, with rents for both private non-landed homes and public housing flats still heading south in February.
Rents of non-landed private residential units posted a 0.8 per cent drop in February, compared to a month ago, dragged mainly by rents in the city centre and city fringe, based on SRX flash estimates. This represents a 6.2 per cent fall from February last year and 10.5 per cent down from the SRX rental index's peak in January 2013.
