Launch volume in the RCR dropped 13.7% to 1,105 units

Despite strong sales in mid-tier projects.

According to Colliers International, despite strong sales in both mid-tier projects, launch volume in the RCR fell 13.7% to 1,105 units while the number of mid-tier homes sold fell 23.0% QoQ to 1,045 units in 3Q 2013. These accounted for 33.0% of all units launched and 44.0% of all units sold in the quarter.

Colliers also noted that in the Core Central Region (CCR) where the higher-priced developments are located, market activity deteriorated further.

Launch and sales volumes were almost halved as both developers and homebuyers maintained a cautious stance. With developers biding their time in the lacklustre market, the number of units launched fell by 43.4% QoQ in 3Q 2013 to 215 units. In turn, overall sales dropped 49.9% QoQ to 183 units over the same period.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
