Chart of the Day: Condo sales hit a four-year high in 2017

Sales volume rose 67.8% YoY to 11,988 units.

This chart from Edmund Tie & Company (ET&Co) shows condo sales in the secondary market rose by 67.8% to 11,998 units in 2017. This is the highest increase in four years.

ET&Co noted that like the landed residential market, more buyers were willing to pay a higher quantum for properties that offer value. In 2017, there was a 140% increase of non-landed homes that transacted in the $4m-$5m bracket, from 89 units in 2016 to 214 units in 2017.

The number of non-landed homes transacted in the “above $5.0m” bracket nearly doubled from 226 units in 2016 to 441 units in 2017.

Bulk of the transactions were in the $1m-$1.5m quantum like in the previous years.

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.
