Chart of the Day: Primary sales hit three-year high

Around 2,000 units were sold in April.

Despite the lower new launches in the month, this chart from DBS Group Research shows that April primary sales recorded the third highest primary sales since 2014.

Primary sales in April rose 49% YoY, as private homes sales doubled while Executive Condominiums (ECs) fell 32%.

However, this was 18% QoQ lower compared to the record high sales achieved in Mar 2017, a level not seen since 2014.

"As expected, sales were largely from new project launches such as Seaside Residences (419 units) and Artra (126 units), while sales on existing projects improved, such as Sol Acres (EC; 122 units), Parc Riviera (90) and Commonwealth Towers (85) which were among the top 5 best sellers," DBS Group Research said.

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.
