Chart of the Day: 2020 posts highest first-quarter resale volume in eight years

Over 5,500 units were resold, higher than the average of 4,195.

This chart by OrangeTee & Tie shows that Q1 recorded the highest first-quarter resale volume in eight years at 5,531 units, well above the average of 4,195 units.

Demand had remained buoyed prior to the onset of the pandemic, indicating that the policy changes were effective in boosting the housing market last year, the report said.

Conjointly, with more flats reaching their five-year minimum occupation period in non-mature estates, the number of non-mature resale flat transactions rose higher at 26.7% YoY when compared to the 17.4% recorded for mature estates in Q1.

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.
