More owners scrambled to dispose properties amidst cooling measures in 3Q

Number of properties put up for auction soared 134%.

According to Knight Frank, more sellers are motivated to dispose their residential properties at reasonable prices in view of decreasing demand amid the cooling measures.

Sharon Lee, director & head for Auctions at Knight Frank, said sale enquiries are sustained for non-residential developments specifically for the Shop & Shophouses segment. Moving forward, more sellers could tap on the wider exposure offered by the Auction mode of sale in view of uncertain market conditions.

Knight Frank noted that the total number of properties put up for auction in 3Q 2013 continues to hold above 100 at 117, with 134% increase on a year-on-year basis.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
