Private home prices inched higher by 0.5% in 1Q13

Almost a third of 4Q12's increase.

According to Knight Frank, private home prices increased marginally in 1Q 2013 at 0.5 per cent quarter-on-quarter (q-o-q), less than one-third the increase in 4Q 2012 at 1.8 per cent q-o-q. 

Knight Frank also said that price increases in 1Q 2013 slowed across all market segments, where prices of high-end (in Core Central Region, CCR) and mass market properties (in Outside Central Region, OCR) increased by 0.4 per cent and 1.7 per cent, respectively, which translate to about half of the increases in 4Q 2012 (0.7 per cent and 3.8 per cent, respectively). 

"Prices of mid market properties (in Rest of Central Region) remained unchanged at 0 per cent increase in 1Q 2013," it said.

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.
