Chart of the Day: Cheap condos dominate Q1 sales to top three foreign buyers

Over half of condos bought by Chinese, Malaysian and Indian buyers were priced below $1.5m.

This chart from OrangeTee & Tie shows that the top three foreign condo buyers in Singapore bought a higher proportion of lower-priced homes in the city in Q1. The bulk of the purchases by Chinese, Malaysian and Indian buyers were priced below $1.5m.

On the other hand, the majority of buyers from USA, United Kingdom, Australia, France and Hong Kong, who are amongst the top foreign buyers in the city, bought pricier homes that were above $1.5m.

Overall, fewer homes were bought by foreigners last month, as stricter border controls were implemented across several countries and potential buyers were unable to visit Singapore to view the properties.

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.
