There are expected to be a significant number of new private residential developments launched in 2023. Last year saw 21 such projects launched, and analysts predict that this number could increase to between 30 and 40 in the coming year. These new developments are expected to add between 10,000 and 12,000 new homes to the market.
According to estimates from analysts, around half of these new units will be located in the Rest of Central Region (RCR), which refers to areas on the city fringe. Another 30% are expected to be built in the Outside Central Region (OCR) or suburbs, while the remaining 20% will be located in the prime Core Central Region (CCR).
There are already some new private property developments open for preview since the start of the year, and it is expected that a further 10 projects could hit the market within the next three months. Ismail Gafoor, CEO of PropNex Realty, has said that he expects some buyers who have previously held back from purchasing due to a lack of suitable options to target these new launches, which should help to meet pent-up demand, particularly for OCR homes.
Analysts also predict that property prices will stabilize in 2023, with growth slowing but not falling. Tricia Song, head of research for Southeast Asia at CBRE, has said that developers may pass on higher land and construction costs to buyers, but that price growth is expected to be slower than the 8.4% seen in 2022 and the 10.6% in 2021.
Dr Lee Nai Jia, head of real estate intelligence – data and software solutions at PropertyGuru, has commented that the performance of new launches in 2023 is likely to be strong, but will be linked to the limited options currently available in the market. Overall, the expectation is that the addition of these new private residential developments will help to meet demand and contribute to a stabilizing property market.
