Prices of resale condos dipped 0.4% in April

But transaction volume still remained low.

According to SRX, prices of resale, non-landed private residential units showed a drop of 0.4% in April 2013. This is based on a weighted average of the PSF in the 3 sub-regions of Core Central (CCR), Rest of Central (RCR) and Outside Central (OCR).

Both CCR and RCR saw equivalent price drops of 1.9% over the previous month, to reach an average PSF of $1,722 and $1,267 respectively. It is the fourth consecutive monthly price drop for CCR since its price peak in December 2012. (Decrease of 8.2% over this four month period.) In contrast, resale prices in the OCR saw a 1.0% increase in average PSF, to end at $1,022 in April.

Resale transaction volume remained relatively low. Flash figures showed 572 non-landed units transacted in April 2013. This is comparable to the 614 units sold in March. Comparing year-on-year, the 572 units transacted in April represents more than 50% drop from the same period last year. (There were 1,240 non-landed resale cases in April 2012.)

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.
