Chart of the Day: This historical graph is proof of 2% appreciation in URA home price index's

But it's still lower than 10-year average.

According to OCBC, the URA residential price index appreciated 2.0% over 9M13.

While the index continues to show positive price appreciation, the mood of the market has been increasingly cautious given persistent cooling measures (particularly after the latest TDSR requirements) and a heavy physical supply due for completion over FY14-16.

"Over the last nine consecutive quarters, the URA residential price index showed an average quarterly price appreciation of 0.7% QoQ which is significantly lower than the 10-year quarterly average of 1.7% QoQ," OCBC said.

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.
