Chart of the Day: Home sub-sales hit 11-year low in 2017

The number of speculative activities has receded over the years.

This chart from OCBC Investment Research shows that only 367 sub-sale units changed hands in the marketplace, marking an 11-year low.

"We see fewer risks in the Singapore market as the number of speculative activities has receded over the years, based on the number of sub-sales transactions tracked," said OCBC analyst Andy Wong Teck Ching.

To illustrate, there was an average of 3,108 sub-sale transactions between 2009 and 2012. The big declines started as early as 2010 at 3,242 units and started hitting three digits in 2014 at 571 units.

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.
