2010 new homes sales volume to surpass 2007 record by 10%

The sales tally for the whole of 2010 is likely to be in excess of 16,500 units.

Collier's International said this will put 2010's sales volume at more than 10% above the historical high of 14,811 unites achieved in 2007.

It is likely that developers will be keen to continue to unload previously accumulated land to ride on home-seekers' buying momentum, as well as to avoid being caught by further cooling measures, which is likely to follow after November's robust sales volume.

Sales in December are likely to stay buoyant at above 1,000 units given that the market is awash with liquidity and interest rates remain low.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
