Kiwi Lim from real estate agency Huttons Asia expect the US Federal Reserve to continue raising interest rates in 2023 but believe that interest rates may start dropping in 2024 as we may see a reduction in inflationary figures when the United States experience recessionary pressure after 2023.
Interest in the luxury segment of the non-landed market is expected to continue in 2023 with more ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs) expected to be drawn to Singapore's business-friendly environment, high quality of life and vaccination rate. Singapore's relatively low taxes, high education quality, good banking and financial laws as well as being a strong legal mediation centre are all plus points for the rich.
Global uncertainties have also elevated safe havens like Singapore as a prime location for investment properties. The Good Class Bungalow GCB market is expected to remain strong in 2023 as genuine buyers are keen to buy despite the high prices. Private residential home prices may see a slower increase of maybe up to 5% in 2023 and may see lesser transactions of around 10,000 units, lower than 2022 and 2021 as the higher interest rate may price some buyers out of the market coupled with limited supply of new condo units available in the market." said Kiwi Lim who has been studying the real estate market for more than a decade.
