Chart of the Day: Auction sales soared over four folds to $17.9m

Thanks to these big-ticket deals.

According to Kight Frank, the total auction sales value jumped by more than four folds from $3.9 million in 4Q 2013 to $17.9 million in 1Q 2014. This is a strong breakthrough for the auction market as the total transaction value was at a low quarterly average of $5.4 million from 2Q 2013 to 4Q 2013.

1Q 2014 has shown to be an exceptional period where total sales value exceeded the $10 million mark with transactions of high-quantum properties, such as a 4-adjoining office units at Orchard Shopping Centre and an apartment unit at Draycott Park.

Big-ticket transactions and the availability of properties catering to end-users helped to boost the overall auction sales results. In the residential sector, apartment units at Wilkie Apartments and Draycott 8 were sold to owner occupiers. Similarly, the abovementioned office unit at Orchard Shopping Centre was purchased for own usage.

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.
