Chart of the Day: Home supply will hit 7,893 in 2018

But it won't be enough to hit the peak levels in 2016 and 2017.

This chart from RHB Research shows private home supply hit its peak in 2016 and 2017, with nearly 20,516 and 16,898 homes completed respectively, compared to the 10-year average of 11,472 units.

According to their forecast, the supply in 2018 and 2019 is expected to hit 7,893 and 8,696 units respectively.

This compares favourably with the 10-year average demand of 9,978 units. Vacancy rates remained high at 8.4% in 3Q2017.

The rates are projected to remain stable as "the market digests the completed supply that came onstream over the last one year."

RHB analyst Vijay Natarajan said, "Overall, we expect rents to stay flat and vacancy rates to remain elevated at around 8-9% for 2018. The weak rental market and increase in interest rates are potential bugbears to a smooth recovery in the residential market in our view.

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.
