Auction market slumps 59.7% in 1H2023, lowest sales value in three years: Edmund Tie
The “high-value deal” was for a three-storey semi-detached home on Vaughan Road that was negotiated for $6.3 million. Additionally, 7 of the profitable properties sold at sell-off were industrialized properties, with the rest being 3 properties along with a workplace property.
” Furthermore, on the back of the high interest rates, the cooling actions declared in April and also the total unconfirmed macro environment, customers have actually generally adopted a wait-and-see stance,” claims Tan.
According to Joy Tan, head of sell-off and sales at Edmund Tie, the small sales value in 1H2023 was because of “the properties hammered being of lowered quantum, mainly possibly beneath or simply past the S$ 1 million mark. There was a single high-value transaction that was over S$ 5 million”.
This was the most affordable sales price reported by the auction market ever since 1H2020, the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, the moment just one property was sold for $0.94 million. It is in addition a significant decrease of 59.7% contrasted to 2H2022 which reported 17 sales value $37.7 million.

The regional real property auction marketplace successfully marketed 11 properties over the first 6 months in this year. A research study note posted by Edmund Tie states that the total sale price for the effectively auctioned real properties was $15.2 million.
Looking in advance, she expects to see mortgage listings pick up only in 2024, given the moment lag in between financial institutions retrieving residential properties as well as placing them up for auction. She also expects commercial listings to amass more purchasing attraction. “Considered that commercial deals are going to not acquire extra customer’s stamp obligation and with the boost in family workplaces in Singapore, well-priced office listings will certainly also likely be very sought after,” she mentions.
Cognisant of the upcoming brand-new nonpublic residential assignments set to hit the market over the next few quarters, prospective customers are holding back on their acquisitions, states Tan, including that exterior variables such as worries of an impending economic crisis and higher rate of interest are similarly affecting sales.
She adds that over the past couple of months, capitalists are displaying an expanding acceptance in the direction of leasehold buildings with shorter remaining lease periods of usually 30 to 60 years. “This is likely because of capitalists’ higher chance tolerance, as financial markets continue to be volatile, and a recognizable preference change to substitute investment chances.”
