Real estate investment sales crashed 38.2% to $3.5b in Q4

This is the lowest quarter since 4Q09.

The real estate investment market crashed 38.2% to $3.5b quarter-on-quarter in Q4, following three consecutive quarters of improved investment sales.

Data from Savills showed that this is the lowest quarter on record since the fourth quarter of 2009. The full-year investment sales figure is pegged at $17.8b, 40.3% lower than the $29.7b recorded in 2013.

The decline for Q4 was attributed almost equally to both the private and public sectors. Private sector investment slipped 34.9% QoQ while public sector investment slumped 47.1% compared to the previous quarter.

“However, except for the residential and industrial sectors, weaker performance was seen across all property segments compared with the previous quarter. While opportunistic investors emerged in these two segments, the general trend is that the macro-economic risk of rising interest rates, as well as the recent plunge in oil prices, could have weakened market sentiment in the reviewed quarter,” Savills stated.

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.
