In a statement, Knight Frank said the total auction listings dropped 30.5% YoY from 118 in Q2 2022.

The total gross sales value, meanwhile, was worth $4.8m in Q2 2023, up 16% from than $4.1m gross sales value in the previous quarter.

Residential properties made up 45.1% (37) of the total in Q2, with 12 mortgagee listings, 24 owner listings, and one listing from estate sales. 

The sole residential estate sale listing was a two-storey freehold semi-detached house located along Happy Avenue Central. It was listed for auction on six different occasions, with the last attempt in April 2023 at an opening price of $7.5m.

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.
