February private home sales took a 65% nosedive to 708 units

Here's why it isn't surprising.

According to PropNex, February saw a 65% dip M-on-M in the number of private home sales to just 708 units (excluding ECs), this figure was not surprising as February was a short month and it also included the Lunar Chinese New Year (CNY) which was typically a lull period in terms of new launches and transactions.

“The drop in February new home sales is also due to the latest cooling measures in January 2013 as potential homeowners are likely to take a wait-and-see attitude. Additionally, developers have held back on the project launches for the month and this is evident in only 262 new units (the lowest that we have seen) that were being launched, commented Mr Mohamed Ismail, CEO of PropNex Realty.

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.
