Chart of the day: Vacancy stock resumes rise in Q2

The increase in vacancy stocks was attributed to a large number of completions.

This chart from Savills shows the number of vacant stocks and vacancy rate from 2017 to the second quarter (Q2) of 2022.

Following two quarters of decline, vacant stock expanded by 2.3% quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) in Q2 2022 to 20,765 units. The increase was mainly attributed to a 2.8% increase in the vacant stock of non-landed units as well as new completions in the quarter.

The bulk of the new completions in the quarter came from Stirling Residences (1,259 units), Whistler Grand (716 units), Parc Botannia (another 357 units) and The Hyde (117 units).

Savills said that as the vacant stock increased, the vacancy rate of private residential properties inched up marginally by 0.1 of a ppt to 5.4%, a reversal from the two consecutive quarters of decline.

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.
