Chart of the Day: Vacancy rate of private properties dropped 0.3 ppt to 6.8%

A total of 25,105 private homes were unoccupied by end of Q3.

This chart from Savills Singapore shows that vacancy rate in private residential properties slipped to 6.8% from 7.1% in Q2 and 8.4% in Q3 2017.

The research firm found that compared with Q2, the vacant stock of landed houses and non-landed units fell by 0.8% and 4.2%, respectively.

As of end Q3, a total of 25,105 private homes were left unoccupied, sealing a fourth successive quarter of decline.

“A further easing of vacant stock is expected in the near term, supported by limited new completions and the withdrawal of units from collective sales sites done since the second half of 2016,” Savills Singapore commented.

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.
