Notably, the vacancy rate rose to 7.1 percent from 6.6 percent in Q1.
The greater number of empty units on the market comes despite strong leasing demand in Q2, with rental deals reaching a record 15,053 transactions, or a 12.2 percent increase from the quarter before.
According to Savills, the increasing stock of housing units is a contributing factor.
“At the end of Q2 2014, there were 297,998 available private homes across the island, an increase of 1.6 percent from the 293,283 units at the end of March,” the report said.
Most came from completed suburban condominium projects such as The Lakefront Residences on Lakeside Drive (629 units), Foresque Residences on Petir Road (496 units), Waterfront Gold on Bedok Reservoir Road (361 units) and The Greenwich on Seletar Road (319 units).
The central region also saw the completion of several developments, including Silversea on Marine Parade Road (383 units), Sophia Residences on Sophia Road (272 units) and Cyan on Keng Chin Road (278 units).
Looking ahead, Savills forecasts the island-wide vacancy rate will increase further with the impending new supply.
“Some 8,066 new private residential units are expected to be completed by the end of 2014. This could possibly drive the island-wide vacancy rate up to double digits before the year ends,” concluded the consultancy.

（SG）随着越来越多的新房子竣工，新加坡房子空置率不断上升。最新数据显示- 新加坡空置率达7.1%！那比起我看过的墨尔本市2.3%的空置率，这个数目相对大了很多。
现在在新加坡买房的（强调一下，我说的是住宅），都是有特定的needs。。。比如自住，升级，为孩子求学，养老。。。等 ，当然可能也包括洗黑钱，呵呵~ 在这个乘市场低迷的时候，买家纷纷进场分一杯羹，了结心头大石。但是投资的角度来看，短期回报率（5年）却远远不及其它国家。那你要买新加坡的来投资的话，你就要做好最好资金充足能 hold 5年的打算。
5年，说长不长，说短不短。
