Private home prices predicted to fall 10-20% by 2015

Here are 2 reasons behind it.

According to Barclays, they believe new private home sales volumes will come off 30% in 2013 on the recent government measures, and private home prices could fall 10-20% by 2015E, due to these reasons.

1) A mortgage rate hike coinciding with peak housing completions, resulting in higher vacancies and required rental yield expansion; and

2) A weak secondary market due to the seven prior rounds of tightening measures.

Here's more from Barclays:

Our economist Joey Chew wrote on 12 Sep “Openness and household debt – the Achilles’ heel” that a macroeconomic shock could also trigger a market correction.

Historically, we estimate residential developers have traded at 25-40% discounts to RNAV when 6-month forward home prices fall 10-20%.

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.
