Chart of the Day: Singapore investment sales down 8.4% YoY to $3.63b

Amid tough marketing environment.

There has been no sign that the government will consider relaxing some property cooling measures, such as those relating to the ABSD and the TDSR.

According to a report by Savills, the investment market experienced another slow quarter in Q1/2015. Transaction volume totalled S$3.63 billion which is only 5.0% above that of Q4/2014.

Together with the abovementioned cooling measures, high capital values, yield compression and recent spikes in interest rates have continued to exert pressure on the market, the residential segment in particular. As a result, investment sales in Q1/2015 showed a decline of 8.4% from the same period of last year.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

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.
