Hozuko is trending: here’s what’s going on
If you’ve been searching or listing rental properties in Singapore for a while, you probably default to PropertyGuru and 99.co. They’re household names, no question.
But quietly, something interesting is happening in the rental space.
Hozuko, a newer Singapore rental website, has been picking up serious momentum. It’s not trying to replace the big portals overnight. Instead, it’s carving out a space where renters, landlords and agents all benefit from a more open, rental-focused ecosystem.
Here’s the snapshot of what’s happening inside Hozuko:
- 90% month-on-month growth in renter enquiries
- Up to 3,500 listings served in just 9 months since Feb 2025
- About 1,700 active listings today, with healthy new additions each week
For a platform that is not even a year old, those numbers tell a clear story: renters are checking Hozuko, and more landlords and agents are starting to list there.
Let’s break down what that means for you.
For renters: more options, more transparency
If you’re a renter, your biggest questions are simple:
- Where can I find good rental options in Singapore?
- Can I see both agent and direct-landlord listings in one place?
- Is it easy to compare rooms and whole units?
Hozuko was designed around those exact needs.
1. One place for different types of listings
On Hozuko, you’ll find:
- Agent listings
- Direct landlord listings
- Rooms and whole units across HDBs and condos
Instead of hopping between multiple Facebook groups, Telegram channels and different websites, you can see a variety of options in one search.
Searching for a room rental in Singapore near MRT? Want a whole unit in a specific town? Hozuko’s filters help you narrow things down quickly so you spend less time scrolling and more time shortlisting.
2. Growing enquiry volume means fresh supply
That 90% month-on-month growth in renter enquiries is not just a vanity metric. It translates into:
- More motivated landlords and agents choosing to list on Hozuko
- New listings being added each week
- A higher chance that the unit you see is actually still available
Because the platform is still in growth mode, renters don’t face the same “listing overload fatigue” you might feel on portals with tens of thousands of similar ads. Browsing feels more focused and less noisy.
For landlords and property agents: a rare visibility window
If you are a landlord or agent, the current stage of Hozuko’s growth is a sweet spot.
There are already enough renters searching (and enquiring) to make it worth your time. At the same time, the number of listings is still relatively low compared to the big incumbents. That combination gives you outsized visibility.
Here’s why that matters:
1. 1,700 active listings, not 98,872 competitors
With around 1,700 active listings:
- Your listing has a higher chance of being seen by renters browsing your area or property type
- New listings don’t get buried as quickly
- Serious renters, who come specifically to look for rentals, are more likely to notice you
On large portals, you might be one of hundreds of similar listings in a single condo or town. On Hozuko, you stand out more simply because the platform is earlier in its growth curve.
2. Demand is already there
Remember the 90% month-on-month growth in enquiries?
That means:
- Renters are not just browsing, they’re reaching out
- You’re listing into an environment where demand is trending up, not flat
- Early adopters (landlords and agents) can build presence and familiarity with renters before Hozuko becomes fully mainstream
If you already list on PropertyGuru and 99.co, think of Hozuko as your rental-focused, fast-growing supplementary channel. If you’re a direct landlord who cannot list on those portals, Hozuko gives you a proper home for your unit.
Why Hozuko fits into Singapore’s rental landscape
So where does Hozuko sit among all the options in Singapore?
- PropertyGuru and 99.co are still the giants, especially for agents
- Facebook, Telegram and classifieds can be hit-or-miss, noisy and scam-prone
- Hozuko focuses on rentals and welcomes both agents and direct landlords
The result is a marketplace that feels:
- Open: agents, landlords and renters all use the same platform
- Focused: built around renting, not selling
- Practical: rooms, whole units, different budget ranges and locations all in one place
If you care about renting in Singapore, Hozuko is becoming one of those names you’ll increasingly hear in group chats and agent conversations.
