SPH to revamp property classification codes in CATS Classified, newspapers

User search experience should improve.

With effect from 22 October, Singapore Press Holdings' (SPH) CATS Classified announced that it will be changing its classification codes in the Property section to enhance users' search experience.

CATS Classified has been continuously improving its product features to maintain its position as a rich source of information for property buyers and sellers. Since June, all property advertisements have been paginated in a separate, handy section on Saturdays. With this latest change, the classification codes in the Property section will be fine-tuned to allow readers to zoom into the district which they are looking for easily.

Besides segregating the classification codes for landed homes and private apartments by districts, new classes have also been created for rental of HDB flats, private and HDB rooms, differentiated by region.

The new sub-sections are:
· Landed Homes for Sale
· Private Apartments for Sale
· Landed Homes for Rent
· Private Apartments for Rent
· HDB Apartments for Rent
· Rooms for Rent

Ms Tan Su-Lin, Vice President of CATS Classified, Marketing, said: “With this new classification system, readers will be able to search for properties more efficiently. For example, if a reader is looking for a private condominium in Queenstown, which is in District 3, he or she can go directly to Class 413 D03 without having to plough through listings of other districts as before.”

These changes will apply to the Classified sections of The Straits Times, The Sunday Times, Lianhe Zaobao, Berita Harian, Berita Minggu, Lianhe Wanbao and Shin Min Daily News.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
