HDB resale volume crashed 36% in April

Only 1,459 flats were rented out.

According to SRX, overall HDB Cash-Over-Valuation (COV) dropped $1,000 to end at $30,000. This was the lowest monthly COV since Sep 2012.

Despite 3 months of consecutive drop in COV, overall median resale price continued its uptrend to reach $465,000 in April, up 1.1% from $460,000 in Mar.

Here's more from SRX:

According to flash figures, resale transaction volume remained stable in Apr at 1,271 HDB flats sold. This is slightly lower than March's 1,355 units transacted. The complete April volume, however, should be comparable to that in March. However, April's HDB resale volume represented a 36% drop compared to the same period last year (there were 2,000 HDB resale flats transacted in April 2012).

1,459 HDB flats were rented out in April 2013, 14% less than March's 1,703 rental transactions. However, this volume is relatively steady as compared to the 1,481 units rented out in the same month last year.

Overall HDB median rents have kept constant at $2,400 on a monthly basis.

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.
