En bloc sales collapsed 90.71% to $353m in Q3

Total property sales crashed 42% to $6.5b.

Bloomberg reported that the cooling measures rolled out in July took its toll on the en bloc market as sales plummeted 90.71% QoQ from $3.8b to $353m in Q3 according to data from Cushman and Wakefield. Total real estate investment sales crashed 42% to $6.5b.



Meanwhile, commercial and industry property sales bloomed. Office sales jumped 54% to $2.1b whilst industrial property sales skyrocketed 73% to $1.2b.

“Clearly these two sectors emerged as winners from the recent fallout in the residential sector,” Cushman and Wakefield Singapore head of research Christine Li said.

Li believes that both assets will continue to be attractive in the near term with liquidity remaining high and developers looking out for diversification.

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.
