Domestic property market in for another months-long sale slump

New TDSR framework is quite the hoser.

According to OCBC, last month's newly introduced Total Debt Servicing Ratio (TDSR) framework will dampen demand for property purchases and mortgage loans "especially for buyers with existing properties and/or other debt liablities."

The research firm further forecasts that: "A slowdown in volumes and potentially more price discounts could emerge in the months ahead."

"The TDSR rules are wide-encompassing and fairly prescriptive, market players may adopt a wait-and-see attitude first. While June may see an uptick in the processing of mortgage loans, we believe that pace of growth of housing loans will like moderate from the 15.9% yoy seen in the first five months of this year," added OCBC.

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.
