Expect property take-up to be lower: CBRE

Meanwhile home prices are stabilising with 1.9 percent increase in the second quarter compared to 2.2 percent in the previous quarter.

Joseph Tan, Executive Director, Residential at CBRE noted:

Going forward, developers will continue to launch new suburban leasehold projects. However, we expect the take-up in Q3 2011 to be lower than Q2 2011’s volume. This is in view of the record supply of public housing being released to the market as well as a possible tweaking of government policies in the coming months that may impact this segment of the market. Global economic concerns is another factor that will add caution to the Singapore market.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
