Abstract: Singapore's residential properties sold mainly on 99-year and freehold leases are useful for studying how changing leases and age affect property values. This paper uses the hedonic model to analyze the effect of lease decay on transaction prices for non-landed, private residential 99-year leasehold properties. The results find a negative effect of leasedecay on the transaction price, or more specifically, a 1% increase in theremaining lease increases prices by 1.46%. The effects of decay differbetween freehold and leasehold properties, thus implying that age has negative effects on freehold property prices but positive effects onleasehold prices. The results show that older properties could increasein value after controlling for the physical decay effect.
