Monthly rent for posh homes dipped 8% YoY

Median rents for all non-landed homes held steady at S$3.53 per sq ft in April and May.

Here's from Savills:

Based on data released by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA), island-wide median rents for all non- landed properties, excluding executive condominiums, held steady at S$3.53 per sq ft per month in April and May this year.

Island-wide median rents for landed homes continued to rise this quarter reaching S$2.63 per sq ft per month in April and S$2.65 per sq ft per month in May.

Owing to strong leasing volume and sustained rental levels, the total transaction value for all properties hit an eight-month high of S$19.7 million in April.

Although the transaction value fell slightly in May to S$18.7 million, it is still higher than the S$16.8 million recorded last year.

The transaction value for the two months has reached S$38.4 million, 8% higher than a year ago.

The rents of high-end non-landed residential properties tracked by Savills showed a four-month consecutive fall.
The average monthly rent dipped to S$5.03 per sq ft per month in Q2/2012, sliding 3% QoQ.

On a YoY basis, prime rents fell by 8% from S$5.46 per sq ft per month in Q2/2011.

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.
