GCB market stagnates with only 5 sales in 1Q24

The value of transacted GCBs also fell 10.6% QoQ.

The total value of Good Class Bungalows (GCBs) sold in 1Q24 fell to $118.4m, 10.6% lower than the preceding quarter.

Volume, meanwhile, was at a similar level in 4Q23, with five GCBs sold.

Huttons said buyers were “unwilling to pay a high premium for a GCB," resulting in a quiet 1Q24.

The expert attributed buyers’ reluctance to |uncertain economic climate and high for longer interest rates.”

The top GCB deal by quantum was in 15 Ford Avenue, bought for $39.5m.

Whilst the sales market was quiet in 1Q24, the rental market experienced increased interest.

“Tenants were still cautious, preferring not to pay high rents for a GCB, seeking out deals that were below $30,000 per month,” Huttons reported.

“The top rental deal in the GCB rental market in 1Q24 was in Tanglin Hill, which fetched a monthly rent of $120,000,” it added.

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.
