Oversupply of private homes looms in the next 3 years

Annual supply of more than 13,000 units to outpace usual demand of 10,000, says UOB Kay Hian.

According to UOB Kay Hian, the huge supply of private residential homes is likely to outpace demand in the next three years with a supply of more than 13,000 units p.a compared with an average annual demand of 10,000 units.

However, the spillover demand as a result of the backlog of public housing shortage over the last decade will partially soak up the huge oncoming private residential supply, it added.

"While we expect prices to fall 8-10% over the next year as the market adjusts to the huge oncoming supply, prices are likely to remain stable over the medium to long term, supported by an extremely low interest rate environment, stable employment levels and growth in wages. We expect physical market prices to move in tandem with the GDP (3-5% pa growth) after the initial near term fall," said UOB Kay Hian.

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.
