Why Real Estate in the Centra Region is a Better Investment for Ateliers
House prices have fallen in recent years. However, the prices of properties located in various regions are currently on the rise. In particular, since 2017, properties in the Central area increased by 0.1% at the beginning of the third quarter, according to the URA Private Housing Index. So, is it the right time to invest in JRC real estate?
A limited supply of land
The land is limited throughout Singapore. If you can purchase a property in the central part of the central region, you can expect future price increases. This is because the limited land supply contributes to high offers that may affect future prices and capital gains.
Resistant to oversupply
Properties in all areas are vacant, but the number of empty rooms in the JRC area does not contribute to the total vacancy rate of private housing of 6.8%. A significant contributor to this is the oversupply of housing units. Last year alone, more than 26,000 new non-landing private lands were added to the market. It could be even higher this year. According to URA, rental income from properties in the Central Core Region decreased by 3.8%. Real estate revenues in OCR and RCR are down 5.6%, much higher. Because that’s what it is? CCR properties are strategically placed.
Due to its location, demand remains high, so there is no threat from new units being added to the market.
Strong trading around CCR
According to URA, 729 CCR homes were sold in the first quarter of 2017, 1171 in the second quarter, and 1,470 in the third quarter. These sales show an increase from the 619 units sold in the fourth quarter of 2016. Home sales above $ 5 million have increased since 2014, as List Sotheby’s International Realty reported. The increase in sales is due to the growing popularity of Singaporeans and Chinese, Malaysian, and Indonesian people.
