More than 40% of private homes in the market remain unsold

A huge number that might indicate slowdown in the demand but the government remains optimistic, placing 13 more sites for private homes in 2H.

According to a press release issued by the Urban Redevelopment Authority today, there is a large supply of about 86,000 private housing units (including about 7,000 EC units) in the pipeline, of which about 38,000 units(including 1,800 EC units) are still unsold.

However, the government reiterated that demand for private housing remains strong. As such, to continue to ensure there is adequate supply to meet demand, the Government has placed 13 sites for private residential development on the Confirmed List, which can yield about 7,100 residential units.

This is comparable to the supply made available in the Confirmed List in first half 2012 (1H2012).

According to press release, most of the private residential sites in the 2H2012 GLS Programme, including the 6 EC sites, are located in Outside Central Region or in locations in Rest of Central Region where more affordable private housing is expected to be built.

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.
