Prices of HDB resale flats reach a record high

That is on the back of a 19% increase in transaction volume in 2Q12.

Prices of HDB resale flats reached a record high in 2Q 2012 on the back of 19 per cent q-o-q increase in transaction volume. HDB resale transactions rose from 5,900 in 1Q 2012 to 7,000 in 2Q 2012, pushing resale price index up by 1.3 per cent, to 194.0.

Resale prices and transaction volume continued to rise despite an increased supply of 12,700 Build To Order (BTO) flats and another 3,800 Sale of Balance Flats released in 1H 2012. The sustained resale transaction volume reflects strong pent up demand for resale HDB flats from groups that do not qualified for BTO or require immediate occupation.

In addition, supply of resale flats remains tight until these new BTO flats are completed and eventually available in the secondary market after the 5-year Minimum Occupation Period.

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.
