Chart of the Day: Fewer Chinese buyers purchased condos in prime districts

This reflected a fall in the share of condos snagged by Chinese buyers in the city.

This chart from EDMUND TIE reveals that the share of condos in traditional prime districts sold to mainland Chinese homebuyers declined to 24% in 2019, compared to 28% in 2019. Still, they remained the top buyers of condos in the region.

Besides foreign buyers of unspecified origin, the country is followed by Indonesians with 12.1% of condo sales, and Malaysians which comprised 9.6%. Other nationalities in Asia and Europe were also involved in sales in the region.

Island-wide, the share of condos sold to mainland Chinese buyers shrank to 27% amongst foreign homebuyers in 2019, compared to 32.9% in 2018. The proportion of foreigner buyers saw a slight uptick in the last two quarters of 2019 at 7% per quarter.

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.
