Chart of the Day: Quit complaining, here's proof that home price hike is actually slow

Prices inched up a tad 0.4%.

According to DBS, following the implementation of the Total Debt Service Ratio (TDSR) limit and increasing completions of new homes, both private and public resale home prices have experienced decelerating price growth momentum.

For 9MTD, private home prices rose a marginal 0.4% q-o-q and 2% since Dec 2012, much slower than the 2.6% appreciation in 2012.

Here's more from DBS:

In the HDB resale market, prices dipped for the first time, retracing 0.9% q-o-q, a sign that incoming supply and tighter financing terms in this segment are cooling down demand.

2014 will likely see an inflexion of residential prices. Anecdotal evidence is showing slower transaction volumes in both the public and private markets amid deceleration in price momentum.

In the HDB resale market, average cash premiums for secondary market sales have also retraced back to 2010 levels, with a greater number of transactions being concluded at below independent valuers’ valuations.

These are signs that a market correction is imminent.

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.
