HDB COVs continue to fall, demand for resale condos still soft

Posted by Property Launch Invest on Tuesday, 12 November 2013 in Property News

SINGAPORE — Overall cash premiums for resale Housing and Development Board (HDB) flats continued to drop while demand for resale non-landed private homes remained weak in October, according to flash estimates from the Singapore Real Estate Exchange (SRX) released today (Nov 8).

Overall HDB cash-over-valuations (COVs) dropped another S$3,000 last month to reach a median of S$12,000, the lowest since July 2009 when the overall COV was S$10,000.

Resale prices for HDB flats overall also slipped 1.6 per cent in October, following a slight gain of 0.2 per cent in the preceding month. This represents a 2.8 per cent drop from the price peak in January of this year, the SRX said.

According to flash estimates, 1,318 HDB flats were sold in October’s resale market, a 26.5 per cent rebound from September’s 1,042 resale cases. On a year-on-year basis, however, last month’s resale transactions were 20 per cent lower than that of October 2012.

An estimated 1,506 HDB flats were rented in October 2013, up by 7.7 per cent compared to September.

In the resale market for non-landed private homes, prices softened by 0.1 per cent in October 2013 as buyers preferred new projects. The month-on-month drop was 1.6 per cent in September.

The overall price drop was led by Outside Central Region’s (OCR) 1.4 per cent drop, followed by Core Central Region’s (CCR) prices slipping 0.5 per cent. On the flip side, the Rest of Central Region (RCR) saw price gain of 0.4 per cent.

An estimated 486 non-landed homes were resold last month, a 13.5 per cent improvement from September’s 428 units sold. On a year-on-year basis, however, October’s transactions were more than 50 per cent lower than October 2012’s 1,435 units.
