Rentals of landed properties increased by 0.6%, whilst non-landed properties increased by 2.4%.

OrangeTee commented that pent-up demand with massive fiscal stimulus and still-low mortgage rates continue to prop up home prices. Not only in Singapore, property prices are likewise accelerating accross Asutralia, China, US, India, Canada, and parts of Europe.

With many Singaporeans shifting back from overseas and working in the country, occupancy rates were seen to remain high at 93.6% last quarter for private residential properties.

Many tenants were said to have renewed their leases in Singapore as travel restrictions continue to be in place in other countries.

As fewer homes have been available for lease in the market due, this helped prop up rents in the recent months.
