Chart of the Day: Home price growth moderated to 0.3% in Q4 2019

The absence of new launches in the RCR weighed on overall prices.

This chart from JLL Research showed that URA’s overall private residential property price index rose 0.3% in Q4 2019, moderating from the 1.3% increase in Q3. This was buoyed by a 4% growth in landed home prices.

In contrast, condo prices dipped 0.7%, compared to a 1.3% rise in 3Q19. The Core Central Region (CCR) showed the sharpest drop in price at 3.7%, followed by the Rest of Central Region (RCR) at 1.4%. This was offset by a 2.9% growth in the Outside Central Region (OCR).

“In the absence of new launches in RCR in 4Q19, the proportion of new sales dropped significantly during the quarter as well as the number of transactions above $2,000 psf,” JLL senior director of research & consultancy Ong Teck Hui said.

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.
