Chart of the Day: Home resales could hit 9,000-10,000 in 2019

Due to the launch of 60 projects this year, buyers could seek new home sales over resales.

This chart from OrangeTee forecasts that the number of private resale transactions in Singapore could hit 9,000-10,000 units, marking a continued decline since 2017.

As a result, the average price of resales could also remain flat or rise marginally in tandem with new sales by 1-2%. The substantial pipeline supply of private homes and uncertainty surrounding the US-China trade tensions could slow down price growth to between 1-3% this year, said OrangeTee managing director Steven Tan.

New home sales, on the other hand, could remain robust given that 60 projects could be launched in the coming months. “Historically, a ramp up in housing supply and marketing activities usually spurs buying interest,” Tan explained.

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.
