There were 6,304 private housing units completed in the fourth quarter of 2014, increasing the number of homes that are ready-to-occupy in the year to 19,444 units, revealed a Savills report.
The report stated that the total number of available private homes across Singapore now stands at 308,814 units.
Special mention was given to d’Leedon at Leedon Heights, which was completed in Q4 and comprises a whopping 1,715 units.
Meanwhile, the slew of new completions is expected to put more downward pressure on rents. According to Savills, as at end-2014, private rents fell 3.0 percent from a year ago, and this is expected to soften further.
But the consultancy noted that rents are not expected to collapse.
“The abundant supply situation does not mean rents will cave in as employment remains high and interest rates are still low relative to the norm,” said Alan Cheong, Research Head of Savills Singapore.
Here’s a look at some newly completed projects that will add to the supply of homes available for rent.
