Chart of the Day: Government Land Sales private housing supply to drop 18% in 1H14

Brace yourselves for some bad news.

According to Barclays, on 18 December, after holding total half-yearly supply relatively steady at c14,000 units of private housing, the Singapore government announced that it is reducing this number by 18% to 11,585 units for 1H14.

Here's more from Barclays:

In particular, private housing on the Confirmed List would be reduced 22% h/h to 2,465 units and, including the quasi-public Executive Condominiums (ECs), this would be reduced 22% to 4,630 units.

We believe this reflects the government’s view that there is an oversupply on the horizon, and that prices have stabilised/softened recently.

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.
