Private home rentals had also shrunk just 8.1 percent to 4,610 units in the month to August 2017.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/green-walls-rise-with-asias-skyscrapers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>More: Green walls rise with Asia\u2019s skyscrapers<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The slowdown in private rental volumes is \u201cwithin expectation\u201d because they usually reach a peak in July before tapering off in August, according to Christine Sun, head of research and consultancy at OrangeTee &amp; Tie Pte Ltd.\u00a0\u201cMany foreign expatriates would have renewed their leases or signed new contracts by the third quarter of the year. Therefore, leasing demand is expected to moderate further as the year-end approaches.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The drop in HDB leases may be attributed to a seasonal fall as well as slower-than-expected growth in the services and manufacturing sectors as a result of US-China trade tensions and slowing economies in China and the EU. \u201cThere could be some upward pressure on unemployment for these sectors, which may adversely impact the HDB rental market in the coming months,\u201d said Sun.<\/p>\n<p>Last month\u2019s monthly decline of 22.2 percent in HDB leases marks a steeper plunge than that of August 2018 when rental volumes slid 6.8 percent month-on-month to 1,879 units. In August 2017, rentals descended 5.2 percent on the month to 1,778 units.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Declines outpace those of the last two
