Number of executive condos sold in October hit all-year low

Only 99 units were sold.

According to Maybank Kim Eng, Singapore developers launched 1,124 private homes (excluding ECs) in Oct, and
sold 1,009 units (-19% MoM).

Cumulative homes sales for 10M13 was 13,675 units, which was 32% lower than the same period last year. The number of EC units sold in Oct was an all-year low of 99 units in the absence of any launch.

Here's more:

Temporary hiatus for EC launches in Oct. The 99 EC units sold in Oct came mainly from Forestville (34 units; median ASP SGD721 psf), Lush Acres (30 units; median ASP SGD815 psf) and Sea Horizon (20 units; median ASP SGD805 psf).

This is expected to change in Nov, after the recently launched 506-unit Skypark Residences at Sembawang was reportedly oversubscribed by three times, with units priced at SGD750-820 psf.

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.
