RHB: Resale volume continue to grapple with rising interest rates

The new home sales fell short of the broker’s expectations at 7,384.

Resale volume will keep slowing down as new home sales are below expectations at 7,834 units, RHB said.

In 2023, new sale volume will inch up to 8,000 to 9,000 but it will still take a hit on pricing expectation mismatch and rising interest rates.

“We expect resale volume to be 5%-20% year-on-year lower in 2023,” said RHB in its brokerage report.

On the developers' side, earnings are expected to be backed by healthy pre-sales and investment income.

Local residential market will remain resilient in 2023 despite rising interest rate pressures.

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.
