More than 50,000 new homes to be complete between 2013 and 2015

This is an 18.5% increase on the private housing stock.

According to Colliers International, a very sizeable residential supply will come on-stream in the next few years.

More than 50,000 new homes are scheduled to complete between 2013 and 2015, representing an 18.5% increase on the private housing stock of 273,050 (as of 2Q 2012) over the next three years. Buyer resistance to prices that are already at record levels is increasing, and the government is likely to implement more measures if the market shows any untoward reaction to QE3.

These factors should maintain some degree of stability and sustainability in Singapore’s residential market over the next 12 months. The impact of the QE3 on the Singapore residential market is hence expected to be short-term and will probably peter out before the end of 2012. Thus, residential prices are expected to edge up by only 2%-3% in the next 12 months.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
