This increase, slightly higher than February&#8217;s 0.2%, reflects a gradual recovery in the market.<\/p>\n<p>Analysts attribute this modest price growth to a disparity in price expectations between buyers and sellers, alongside prevailing <a href=\"\/us-fed-flags-end-of-rate-hikes-sees-drop-in-borrowing-costs-in-2024\/\">high interest rates<\/a>. Despite some willingness to negotiate, many sellers are reluctant to significantly lower their asking prices due to the high cost of replacement homes.<\/p>\n<p>On a year-on-year basis, resale condo prices rose by 5%, with suburban areas experiencing the highest increase at 7.1%. This uptrend can be attributed to increased condo launches in the suburbs in recent months, boosting the prices of resale units.<\/p>\n<p>The resale volume also saw a notable rebound in March, increasing by 17.4% with an estimated 883 units changing hands, compared to 752 units in February. This uptick is attributed to the resumption of project launches post-Chinese New Year, stimulating activity in the resale market.<\/p>\n<p>The relaunch of luxury condo <a href=\"\/government-gave-grace-period-to-44-housing-projects-facing-absd-deadline-within-2021-to-2023-lawrence-wong\/\">Cuscaden Reserve<\/a> at more attractive price points injected renewed interest into the private resale market, with discounted offers starting from $2,900 per square foot. Despite this surge in transactions, resale volume remains lower compared to March 2023, down by 22.8%.<\/p>\n<p>Transactions by foreign buyers increased to 1.3% of total resale volume in March, up from 0.5% in February. However, foreign investment interest remains subdued due to the punitive Additional Buyer&#8217;s Stamp Duty (<a href=\"\/frequently-asked-questions\/\">ABSD<\/a>) rates implemented in April 2023.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of location, the lion&#8217;s share of condo resale transactions occurred in the suburbs, followed by city fringes and prime districts. Notably, the highest transacted price was $8.7 million for a 99-year leasehold unit at Corals at Keppel Bay, highlighting the diversity of the market.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.straitstimes.com\/singapore\/housing\/condo-resale-prices-inch-up-in-march-as-volume-rebounds-174\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">The Straits Times<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Resale condominium prices inched up by 0.4% in March, marking a rebound from February&#8217;s seasonal slowdown, as reported by real estate portals Singapore Real Estate Exchange and 99.co on April 25.
