Property investment sales dived to five-year low in Q4

Private sales plunged by $1.47b.

The country’s property investment sales market failed to end the year on a good note, after total sales plunged to its lowest level since the second quarter of 2009.

Data released today by Colliers showed that total property investment sales value nose-dived by 34.8%
quarter-on-quarter to $3.94 billion in 4Q 2014, after rebounding by 13.0% QoQ to $6.04 billion in 3Q 2014.

“The steep fall in property investment sales in the three months ending in December 2014 was led by a sharp $1.47 billion decline in private investment sales to hit a five-and-a-half-year low of $3.05 billion in 4Q 2014, reflecting a fall of 32.5% from the $4.52 billion amassed in 3Q 2014. Public sector sales, too, dipped by a sharp 41.2% from the $1.52 billion chalked up in the preceding quarter to a meagre $893.19 million awarded in 4Q 2014,” stated the report.

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.
