Chart of the Day: Property investment sales plummeted 27.5% to $7.11b

It hasn't been a good quarter.

According to Colliers International, Singapore’s property investment sales market began the year on a subdued note with sales value posting its second consecutive quarter of decline.

The public sector, too, suffered a dent in investment sales value, albeit at a moderate quarterly rate of 20.2%.

Colliers also said that the $2.73 billion garnered by the public sector is still considered healthy given that a larger number of sites sold in the quarter were designated for lower value uses or have shorter tenure compared to the preceding quarter.

"Total property investment sales value dropped by 27.5% on a quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) basis to $7.11 billion in the first three months of 2013, led by a slowdown in private sector sales which plummeted by 31.4% to $4.38 billion," Colliers said.

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.
