Home prices in Singapore predicted to fall 7.5% in 2015

Home supply also to drop.

According to CIMB, its base case is now for residential property prices to fall by 5% yoy in 2014 and 7.5% in 2015 as mortgage rates and supply completions gradually rise in the next two years.

Here's more:

Taking a balanced approach, we believe that residential property prices are unlikely to collapse to pre-2007 levels. Supply remains an issue and the trend of shrinking unit size in the private segment offers no remedy.

The magnitude of interest-rate hikes is also a wildcard and presents the biggest tail-risk. But assuming that mortgage rates normalise to 3.5%, we believe that the sector is in better financial health than before, with policymakers now adopting a much more prudent stance relative to past cycles.

We expect around 21k private new homes sales in 2013, before falling to 18k in 2014 and 15k in 2015.

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.
