Chart of the Day: Check out the price range of condos sold in OCR in Q2

Units priced between $1m to $1.5m comprised the bulk of sales.

This chart from OrangeTee & Tie shows that majority of homes bought in the Outer Central Region (OCR) were priced at $1m and above.

In the second quarter, 60% of condos were sold at $1m and above, whilst 3.7% were above $2m. About 0.3% of total transactions were above $3m.

A total of 1,879 condo units were sold in the OCR in Q2, a 9.2% QoQ increase compared to the previous quarter.

“The affordability threshold of buyers continued to rise such that the majority of homes were bought at $1m and above,” said OrangeTee & Tie.

A separate report from Edmund Tie notes that the proportion of new units priced below $1m fell to 24% in Q2 2019 from 37% in the previous quarter and the share of units above $1.5m grew to 35% from 25%, suggesting the growing preference of buyers for costlier and larger average units.

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.
