Chart of the Day: See how July’s developer sales slid down 53% from last year

Poor performance to go on beyond Hungry Ghost month.

July’s developer sales stayed flat as sales from previous months’ launches continued to slow significantly, and take-up at the four new launches was subdued at best.

In a report by Barclays, year-to-July sales was 4,893 units, down to 4,893 units from 10,432 units in July last year.

Barclays says that the weak trend will continue beyond August, as the traditionally quiet Hungry Ghost Festival month kicked in from 27 July. The bank sees rising risk of unsold inventory, across both high- and low-end segments.

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.
