Chart of the Day: New home prices tick up as luxury home sales jump

The median price per unit rose to $1.11 million.

Buyers forked out more cash to buy new homes in Q1. The median price of new condominiums sold during the quarter rose by 11.6% to $1.11 million, boosted by an uptick in luxury home deals.

According to CBRE, the higher prices recorded for Cairnhill Nine's units was probably a key factor behind the increase. Cairnhill nine was priced at around $2,400 psf and 65% of the units sold cost less than $2 million each.

Meanwhile, the median size of new homes sold in Q! was 753 sg, slightly smaller than the 764 sf for homes sold in 2015.

"Affordable pricing was facilitated by smaller units. A gradual reduction of the unsold inventory could be expected on back of limited new launches," said CBRE.

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.
