Private non-landed housing prices up 1% m-o-m in July: NUS SRPI flash estimate

The Institute of Real Estate and Urban Studies (IREUS) has released the Singapore Residential Price Index (SRPI) for the month of July, with flash estimates indicating the prices grew 1% m-o-m. The index tracks a basket of 759 non-landed private residential projects completed between October 2003 and September 2021.

In terms of buyer profile, Singaporeans accounted for 74.3% of resale transactions of non-landed private homes in the past 12 months. Singapore permanent residents represented 21.4% of such transactions, while foreigners made up about 4%.

The revised overall index for June was adjusted to reflect a 0.6% m-o-m decrease, slightly narrower than the flash estimate that indicated the index fell 0.7%. The sub-index for the Central Region (excluding small units) in June remained the same as its flash estimate showing a fall of 1.2% m-o-m. For the non-Central Region, the sub-index was adjusted to reflect a 0.3% decrease, a smaller decline compared to the flash estimate decrease of 0.4%. Meanwhile, the sub-index for small units in June was adjusted to reflect a 0.4% m-o-m decrease, compared to its flash estimate of a 0.6% decline.

For July, the sub-index for the Central Region grew by 1.2% m-o-m, while the sub-index for the non-Central Region increased by 1% over the same period. The sub-index for small units increased by 0.2% for the period.
