Mid-tier homes hardest hit by demand slowdown in Q1

RCR prices slipped 1.7%.

The mid-market home segment sustained the largest price declines in the first quarter of the year. Data released by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) showed that RCR home prices posted a 1.7% quarter-on-quarter decline in Q1.

Meanwhile, the mass market segment in the OCR extended its price decline for the sixth consecutive quarter in the first quarter, decreasing by 1.1% quarter-on-quarter and 3.1% year-on-year.

The high-end market segment in the CCR saw the smallest price decline on a quarterly basis in the quarter, falling by 0.4% quarter-on-quarter and 3.5% year-on-year.

“The price declines were led by softening prices in the Rest of Central Region (RCR). Prices of non-landed homes in the RCR sustained the largest quarterly fall of 1.7% in 1Q 2015, following 4Q 2014’s decline of 1.4%. Developers offered discounts in projects, such as Sims Urban Oasis and Marine Blue, to lure buyers back into the market,” stated Colliers.

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.
