Chart of the Day: Prices of posh condos dipped 1% to $2,405psf

It's the first drop in 4 quarters.

Savills said that according to the URA’s flash estimates for Q2/2013, the private residential property price index inched up by a modest 0.8% QoQ. 

Prices of nonlanded private homes in the OCR and RCR were up by 3.0% and 0.2% QoQ respectively, while prices in the Core Central Region (CCR) took a slight dip of 0.2% following the 0.6% increase in the previous quarter.

Here's more from Savills:

Likewise, the average price of high-end non-landed homes tracked by Savills also eased slightly by 1.0% QoQ to S$2,405 per sq ft, the first drop after rising for four consecutive quarters.

This is attributed to the weakened sentiment and demand in the high-end homes segment.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
