The luxury residential market in Singapore took a hit with the cooling measures implemented on April 27, resulting in an estimated 80 non-landed luxury homes sold in 2Q2023 with a value of $657.3 million. According to data compiled by Huttons Asia in its 2Q2023 Prestige Report, this was 34.4% lower than the 122 homes sold in 1Q2023 and 28.8% lower than the previous quarter’s $923.4 million.

The second quarter of 2023 saw US buyers topping the list of foreign purchasers of luxury non-landed homes, an observation consistent with the OrangeTee & Tie research report. According to URA data, US buyers accounted for 56 condo purchases, though this was lower than the 63 transactions recorded in the previous quarter. US buyers were granted the same stamp duty treatment as Singaporean buyers, due to the trade agreement.

The biggest transaction in 2Q2023 came from the sale of an 8,633 sq ft unit to a US national for $45 million ($5,213 psf) in May at the Les Maisons Nassim project. This was followed by a portfolio of three GCBs on Nassim Road sold for $206.7 million, as well as another Nassim Road GCB purchased for $88 million ($3,916 psf) by a family behind a Singapore-listed palm oil producer.

Transacted value of luxury non-landed homes in the first half of the year came to $1.58 billion, 7.1% higher than the corresponding period in 2022. Rents for luxury homes eased by 1.9% to $15,832, with signs that it may have reached its plateau.
