CapitaLand's Singapore home sales plunged 31% to $300m

Even sales in China slowed down.

According to Barclays, there was a slowdown in 2Q13 for presales in Singapore and China on policy headwind but 1H13 still up strong. Singapore sold 139 homes for S$300mn (down from 1Q13’s 544 units S$1.3bn and 2Q12’s 202 units S$379mn), brings 1H13 to 683 units for S$1.6bn, +243% y/y.

China home sales slowed down to 736 units for RMB1.3bn (down from 1Q13’s 955 units RMB1.9bn and 2Q12’s 812 units RMB1.8bn), brings 1H13 to 1,691 units for RMB3.2bn, +43% y/y.

Here's more from Barclays:

The sales in 2Q13 came mainly from The Loft in Chengdu, The Metropolis in Kunshan, Dolce Vita in Guangzhou and iPark in Shenzhen.

In 2Q 2013, over 1,000 units were handed over to home buyers, mainly from The Loft (457 units), The Pinnacle in Shanghai (293 units) and Beaufort in Beijing (219 units). Including 230 units handed over in 1Q 2013, CL China delivered a total of 1,353 units in 1H 2013.

We expect China development earnings to be backloaded in 2H13 as 1,900 units will be handed over then.

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.
