Chart of the Day: Are lacklustre home sales finally showing signs of life?

Sales have increased by 21.7% yoy.

Singapore’s home developers may be up for some good news as primary home sales are finally showing signs of stabilisation.

According to a report by OrangeTee Research, prices have remained resilient as sales from existing launches have increased by about 21.7% in 2016 YTD compared to the corresponding period in 2015.

“This lends strength to the proposition that the primary market may have bottomed and is in recovery,” the report noted.

However, the report added that it is hard to envisage a recovery given that cooling measures remain in place and the economy remains weak.

“Barring an unexpected deterioration in the global economy, the primary market is likely to stabilise around current levels,” the report added.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

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.
