Chart of the Day: Shophouse sales fell 29.8% to 118

Shophouse owners were unwilling to cut their asking prices due to limited supply.

This chart from Knight Frank Research shows that the number of caveats lodged for shophouses crashed 29.8% YoY to 118. This was attributed to a mismatch in price expectations.

“The shophouse owners were unwilling to lower their asking prices as such shophouses, especially those that are conserved and are in heritage districts, are limited in supply,” the report stated.

Most shophouses sold had a land area between 1,000 sqft and 5,000 sqft, similar to proportions from the past four years.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
