More housing supply to drag on price and rental outlook: DBS

Developers’ margins are likely to normalise going forward with increasing public and private housing over the next two years.

According to DBS Vickers, primary sales for the five months have reached 10,867 units, a function of both robust demand and ample supply as developers continue to adopt a quick roll-out strategy. However, whilst volume sales are high, price momentum has moderated with more incentives as a norm in the current new launches.

"We still hold the view that the increasing supply of public and private housing completions accelerating from 2H12 and over the next two years could drag on price and rental outlook. Hence, developers’ margins are likely to normalise going forward."

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.
