Chart of the Day: Residential segment dominates investment sales

The residential segment contributed 54% of the total transaction value in the second quarter.

Savills Research reported:

The total value of investment sales increased by 52.4% from S$4.9 billion in Q1/2012 to S$7.4 billion in Q2/2012.

The public sector contributed S$3.1 billion or 41.7% of all investment sales in the reviewed quarter.

Under the Government Land Sales (GLS) programme, 15 state land parcels were sold for a total of S$2.9 billion.

Investment sales in the private sector rebounded, with the transaction volume surging 59.9% quarter-on-quarter (QoQ).

The residential segment continued to dominate, contributing 54.0% of Q2’s total transaction value.

Transaction volume in the commercial segment rose by 123.7% QoQ to S$2.3 billion.

In the near term, the investment market may hit a plateau given the worsening macro conditions and a squeeze on buyers’ financing.

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.
