Property investments drop 5.7% QoQ to $3.8b in 2Q23

Colliers attributed the decline to high borrowing costs.

Investments in Singapore’s property market fell by 50.1% YoY and 5.7% QoQ to $3.8b in 2Q23, data from Colliers showed.

In a report, Colliers attributed the decline to high borrowing costs which “makes larger assets less digestible.”

OF the total volume in 2Q23, 17.7% were Government Land Sales (GLS) transactions.

Without the GLS deals, deal investment volume for the quarter would have dropped by 19.2% QoQ to $3.1b.

Excluding the GLS deals, the residential, industrial, and office sectors carried the market, accounting for 33.5%, 26.7%, and 18.3% of the deals in 2Q23, respectively.

Towards the end of 2023, Colliers believes that transaction volumes will pick up.

“More clarity on the trajectory of interest rates and inflation” will help investors in their decision-making, said the real estate expert.

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.
