Private home prices up but increase slowing down

The private residential property index rose just 1.3% in the 3rd quarter, compared to the 2% increase in the previous quarter.

According to the Urban Redevelopment Authority, the rate of increase in private residential property prices has continued to moderate for the 8th consecutive quarter since 4th Quarter 2009. The private residential property index rose from 203.0 points in 2nd Quarter 2011 to 205.7 points in 3rd Quarter 2011.

URA said, “Prices of non-landed private residential properties increased by 0.8% in Core Central Region, 1.1% in Rest of Central Region and 2.1% in Outside Central Region in the quarter. In comparison, in 2nd Quarter 2011, prices of non-landed private residential properties increased by 1.6% in Core Central Region, 1.1% in Rest of Central Region and 1.7% in Outside Central Region.”

The flash estimates are compiled based on transaction prices given in caveats lodged during the first ten weeks of the quarter supplemented by information on the number of new units sold.

The statistics will be updated when URA releases the full 3rd Quarter 2011 real estate statistics, when more data on the caveats lodged and the take-up of new projects are captured.

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.
