Five-year low: Prices of private homes slide further in 2Q

Rental prices follow suit.

It’s time to hit front porches as price decline continues to be observed across all segments of the private residential property market.

In a recent real estate release by the Urban Development Authority (URA), prices of non-landed properties in the Core Central Region (CCR) declined by 1.5%, following the 1.1% decrease in the previous quarter. Prices in the Rest of Central Region (RCR) and Outside Central Region (OCR) declined by 0.4% and 0.9% respectively. Also, prices of landed properties declined by 1.7%.

Overall, private residential properties fell by 0.6% in 2Q14, further pulling down the statistic which also declined 0.7% in 1Q14.

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.
