Overall resale prices dipped 0.5% MoM but rose 0.1% YoY. Prices of resale condos located in the Rest of Central Region (RCR), Outside Central Region (OCR), and Core Central Region (CCR) fell across the board, registering declines of 1.1%, 0.3% and 0.1%, respectively.

CCR and RCR recorded YoY price decreases of 2.4% and 0.9%, respectively, whilst OCR recorded a YoY price increase of 1.8%.

The highest transacted price for a resale unit in the month was achieved at Boulevard Vue, where a high-floor unit was transacted at $17.5m. In RCR, the highest transacted price was a unit at Dakota Residences resold at $4.2m. In OCR, the highest transacted price was a unit at Bayshore Park resold at $3.3m.

OrangeTee & Tie head of research & consultancy Christine Sun commented, “The supply of new homes has increased since the launch of many new projects in recent months. The rising competition for potential buyers has probably caused some sellers to lower their asking prices for their resale homes.”

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.
