Here’s more from Savills Research:

According to the Urban Redevelopment Authority, the rate of price increases continued to moderate for the seventh consecutive quarter. The island-wide price index of all private residential properties rose 2.0% in Q2, down marginally from the 2.2% in the preceding quarter. Nevertheless, a new high for the price index was set at 203.0 points in Q2. Overall, home prices have risen 52.3% since bottoming in Q2/2009 and have increased 4.2% year-to-date.

By region, prices of non-landed private residential properties rose 1.6% in the CCR, 1.1% in the rest of central region and 1.7% in the OCR in Q2/2011. Prices of uncompleted homes rose the fastest in the CCR at 1.4%, followed by the OCR (0.7%) and the RCR (0.5%). A lack of luxury home supply in the long term should continue to lend support to the new luxury home prices.

As of the end of June, high-end and super-luxury home prices have already increased 1.2% and 8.8% respectively from the beginning of the year. As a result, price gaps between the current and previous price peaks in Q4/2007 closed further with high-end and super-luxury home prices being just 5.1% and 0.05% from their peak levels.

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.
