Chart of the Day: See how the value of en bloc deals surged in 2017

But it didn't hit the peak value of $11.4b in 2007.

This chart from RHB Research shows that in 2017, about 26 residential en bloc deals were completed, for a nine-year high of $8.5b.

However, this was still not enough to reach 2007 peak of $11.4b made from 164 deals.

The strong surge in en-bloc deals was fuelled by factors such as falling inventory levels, strong developer balance sheets, competition from overseas developers, and low-interest rates.

"The surge in en-bloc deals has boosted property liquidity and evoked optimism for strong price recovery," said RHB analyst Vijay Natarajan.

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.
