HDB unveils revisions for outdated Resale Price Index

More flat attributes will be taken into account.

The Housing and Development Board (HDB) today detailed several changes to the closely-watched Resale Price Index (RPI), which will be effective starting the fourth quarter of 2014.

The current RPI only groups units according to flat type, model and region. The HDB will now adopt the stratified hedonic regression method to compute the RPI. This method will take different flat attributes into account, such as age, size, storey, and proximity to amenities.

The HDB will also update the base period to 1Q09 from the current 4Q98. This means that the RPI for 1Q09 will be at 100.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

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.
