Auction market slumps 59.7% in 1H2023, lowest sales value in three years: Edmund Tie
Cognisant of the upcoming brand-new exclusive non commercial jobs readied to reach the market over the next several quarters, prospective buyers are holding off on their acquisitions, says Tan, adding that external factors like fears of an approaching economic crisis also higher rates of interest are also impacting sales.
” Furthermore, on the back of the high interest rates, the cooling down actions released in April and the overall uncertain macro setting, customers have actually usually followed a wait-and-see stance,” says Tan.
She incorporates that over the past few months, financiers are presenting an expanding acceptance in the direction of leasehold properties with much shorter standing lease terms of commonly 30 to 60 years. “This is likely as a result of capitalists’ greater chance tolerance, as financial markets stay unstable, and also a recognizable preference change to substitute financial investment possibilities.”
This was the most affordable sales worth documented by the auction market ever since 1H2020, the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, the moment just one property was yielded $0.94 million. It is also a notable decrease of 59.7% matched up to 2H2022 which reported 17 sales worth $37.7 million.
The “high-value deal” was for a three-storey semi-detached home on Vaughan Road that was transacted for $6.3 million. In addition, seven of the outstanding properties sold at sell-off were industrial properties, with the remainder being 3 homes along with an office real estate.

Looking ahead, she anticipates to see home loan listings pick up only in 2024, given the moment lag between financial institutions reclaiming properties as well as placing them up for public sale. She also projects commercial listings to garner even more purchasing rate of interest. “Considered that business transactions are going to not acquire extra purchaser’s stamp duty and with the rise in household workplaces in Singapore, well-priced business office listings will also likely be extremely demanded,” she explains.
According to Joy Tan, head of sell-off and sales at Edmund Tie, the low sales value in 1H2023 was because of “the real estates pounded being of lowered quantum, primarily possibly below or just past the S$ 1 million mark. There was sole high-value purchase that was over S$ 5 million”.
The regional property auction marketplace efficiently sold 11 real estates over the first 6 months of this year. A research study note released by Edmund Tie specifies that the overall deal worth for the successfully auctioned real properties was $15.2 million.
