NUS announced on Oct 30 2017 that overall private condominium and apartment prices rose 0.1% month-on-month in September 2017, based on the latest flash values of the Singapore Residential Price Index Series. This marks the fifth straight month of increase in the overall SRPI.
The SRPI Central index saw the strongest growth since April 2017, rising 3.9% over the five-month period. This is due to the limited supply of newly launched private residential homes in the Central Region, which causes buyers to turn to the resale market. In September, the Central index rose 0.4% month-on-month.
The SRPI Non-Central index also saw a 2.1% increase over the same five-month period. The SRPI Small Units index rose just 0.3% over the five month period, but registered the strongest growth for September alone, rising 0.9% month-on-month. These indicate that the Singapore property market is poised for a recovery as investors from Asia turn their focus to Singapore due to our stable government and Singapore's attractive property prices compared with property in their own Asian cities.

This positive sentiment in Singapore property market is driven by local demand who have already accepted the fact that ABSD is here to stay and also the influx of Chinese investors continuing to shift their focus from the US to Asia, particularly Hong Kong, Singapore and Shanghai - which continue to be the top three investment destinations in Asia.
