New home sales rise 13.6% MoM in March

However, it is 24.8% less than 654 units year-over-year.

New developer sales, excluding executive condominiums (ECs), rose by 13.6 % MoM to 492 units in March 2023, data from CBRE showed.

Comparing the figure to March 2022, however, sales dropped 24.8%.

CBRE said cautious buying sentiment amidst record-high interest rates and a slowing economy drove the MoM sales increase.

The March transactions bring the total new home sales for Q1 to 1,880 units, which is 29.9% lower year-on-year.

For the whole year, CBRE predicts that new home sales will reach 7,500-8,500 units, a marginal increase from 7,099 units sold in 2022.

Due to low unsold inventory and healthy household balance sheets, CBRE said prices are also likely to increase by 3%-5%.

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.
