All the way down: Private condo sales to plunge 20% in 2015

Buying activity will only pick up in Q4.

Private condominium sales is expected to plunge by at least 20% in 2015. According to a report by PropertyGuru, private property transactions will contract to approximately 2,000 units for the first three quarters of the year.

However, buying activity may pick up in the fourth quarter, with condo sales expected to jump to 3,500-3,700 units.

“Overall, we expect the number of transactions to trend downwards by at least 20 percent from 2014 figures. Buying activity for private non-landed properties may pick up in Q4, once buyers have determined that prices have sufficiently bottomed out,” stated the report.

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.
