近11季价格跌幅最小 交易量新高 分析师:私宅市场或已近谷底
2016年7月23日 星期六文/沈越来自/联合早报 市建局数据显示,第二季私宅价格指数环比下滑0.4%至140点,是2013年第三季以来的最小季度跌幅。该指数迄今已连续11个季度下跌,累计下滑9.4%。 沈越 报道 sheny@sph.com.sg 市场观察者认为,私宅楼市周期似乎已接近谷底,不仅价格跌幅缩小至新低、交易量回弹至新高、私宅供应量也缩减不少。然而,随着更多项目陆续落成,第二季私宅空置率又创10年新高,继续对租金造成下行压力。 根据市区重建局昨天公布的第二季房地产数据,整体私宅价格指数在第二季环比下滑0.4%至140点,跌幅小于第一季的0.7%,这也是2013年第三季以来的最小季度跌幅。整体私宅价格指数迄今已连续11个季度下跌,累计下滑9.4%。 非有地私宅方面,代表大众化市场的中央区以外(OCR)私宅价格,在第二季下滑0.5%,跌幅小于第一季的1.3%。 不过,中高档私宅价格已开始回升。代表高档领域的核心中央区(CCR)私宅价格,在第二季连续第二个季度上扬0.3%。代表中档领域的其他中央区(RCR)私宅价格,同期上扬0.2%,超过第

今年新售公寓单位中位数面积止降回升
陈野文 报道 cjason@sph.com.sg 今年新售出公寓单位中位数面积止降回升,但依然远低于转售和租赁市场的面积需求。 近几年新公寓的面积越建越小,这似乎已是公开的秘密。自从2009年全球金融危机结束以来,房价的一路攀升致使越来越多的新公寓买家开始接受更小的单位面积。 根据新加坡房地产联合交易网(SRX)提供的数据,包括执行共管公寓(EC)在内,2014年发展商售出的新公寓单位中位数面积仅为850平方英尺,较2009年的中位数面积1195平方英尺缩水达28.9%。 有八年从业经验的Huttons地产经纪王伟雄(34岁)受访时说:“公寓越卖越小的一部分原因是发展商要保证单位总价能令买家负担得起。但从另一 方面来讲,面积减小并不代表实用性下降。相反地,比起几年前,近两年出售的新项目多数缩小了阳台面积,而且不再带有凸窗(bay window),因此设计更高效,实用性更好,同时也帮买家省了钱。” 虽然新私宅市场趋向“小户型”,但在转售市场,买家却似乎没有在面积上让步。去年转售公寓的中位数面积为1249平方英尺,与2009年持平。 对比新私宅和二手
