Despite the pick-up in sales volume, the average resale capital value for prime luxury properties fell 2.9% to $2,380 psf in the second quarter compared to the first quarter. Resale capital values of typical prime properties also dipped 1.5% to about $1,350 psf.
With about 778 units completed in Q2, this supply has dampened overall yields. Average prime luxury rental values dipped 1.2% to $4.08 psf per month from first quarter while average typical prime rental values fell 2.2% to $3.16 psf per month.
Further falls in both rents and capital values over the next 12 months in the prime residential segment is expected amid lingering uncertainty in the global economy noted Ms Jane Murray, head of research (Asia Pacific) at Jones Lang LaSalle.
