Chart of the Day: Buyers from Mainland China bought most homes amongst foreign buyers in Q3

They bought 324 units or 25% of all sales in the quarter.

This chart from Edmund Tie & Company (ET&Co) shows Mainland Chinese buyers only purchased 324 units, or 25% of all sales in Q3.

However, the number of units and proportion amongst foreign buyers dropped.

Malaysian and Indian buyers were also more restrained, dropping 19% and 8% QoQ to 255 units and 105 units, respectively.

On the other hand, the number of Indonesian home purchases rose 14.8% to 93 units in Q3.

Indonesians, unlike the other three nationalities, purchased residential properties of higher quantum.

Only 46% of Indonesian purchases in Q3 were $1.5m and below, compared with 65% Mainland Chinese buyers who purchased their homes at $1.5m dollars and below.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
