Chart of the Day: Check out how much rents for posh condos dropped since 2007

It's currently at $4.85psf.

Savills reported that according to the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA), the island-wide rental index of private residential properties slipped by 0.5% in the fourth quarter, registering the first drop since Q3/2009.

Similarly, the average monthly rent of high-end condominiums tracked by Savills slid 0.1% QoQ and 0.6% YoY to S$4.85 per sq ft.

Here's more from Savills:

This was nticipated due to the lukewarm demand for such homes seen during the year-end festive season, as well as competition created by new supply.

As economies across the globe gradually recover, rents of high-end homes may hold up this year when more companies, particularly those from the US and eurozone regain their confidence and may increase their headcounts to expand business in Singapore.

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.
