Chart of the Day: Here's proof of a very disappointing property auction results

Take a look at these dismal numbers.

According to Knight Frank, amid the property cooling measures and TDSR, the total number of properties sold in each quarter continued on a downward trajectory, with only 4 industrial properties sold in 4Q 2013. 

The strata-titled industrial segment dominated the market in the last quarter.

Here's more from Knight Frank:

Similar to previous quarters, residential properties in 4Q 2013 form the majority of properties put up for auction at 52.3 per cent; while Shop and Shophouses; and Industrial properties form the rest of the bulk at 22.5 per cent and 17.1 per cent respectively.

While Offices and HDB properties form the remaining portion at 3.6 per cent and 4.5 per cent respectively.

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.
