3 biggest factors that will hurt October developer sales

Barclays explains the likely lull next month.

"In October, we expect developer sales volume to drop sequentially, given the lack of attractive launches, the tighter TDSR measures continuing to bite and some of the investor liquidity being soaked up," said Barclays.

"Mortgage bankers we spoke with admitted to fewer mortgage applications and approvals since the June TDSR rules although loan packages offered are relatively stable at SIBOR plus 0.85-0.95ppt for up to the first four year," it added.

"Historically, developer stock prices have been highly correlated to total transaction volumes and values, and we expect developer share prices to soften in tandem with volumes and prices," it said further.

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.
