Sky Vue, Thomson Three to drive September developer sales

Developer presales to fall 30%, says Barclays.

After a dismal 482 and 742 units sold in July and August 2013 respectively, way below the 1,658 monthly average in 1H13, due to the June 28
Total Debt Servicing Ratio (TDSR) measures, Barclays Research believes September developer volumes could pick up on good demand on recent launches.

CapitaLand’s Sky Vue in Bishan reportedly sold 430 of the total 694 units on 28-29 Sep, at ASP of S$1,500 psf. UOL’s Thomson Three has sold 250 units (total 445) since launch in mid-Sep, at ASP of S$1,350 psf.

"We expect developer take-up to average 1,000 -1,100 units per month in Sep-Dec and for FY13 volumes to fall 30% y/y in 2013E to 15,500 units," said Barclays.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
