Singapore home prices heading south by mid-2013

All because of next year's supply overload.

Here's more from DBS:

We expect prices to come under slight pressure when the large incoming supply of private and public homes starts to kick in from 2H13.

More new launches to come. 10M primary homes sales have reached just under 20,000 units. With developers still planning to launch projects for the remainder of 4Q such as City Dev’s Echelon development, we believe monthly home sale volumes are likely to remain above average, particularly under a low interest rate environment. However, price momentum is expected to moderate. We expect prices to come under slight pressure when the large incoming supply of private and public homes starts to kick in from 2H13. 

We continue to like CMA in anticipation of their acceleration in earnings growth as their portfolio matures and Capitaland which would benefit from their capital recycling activities in the coming years.

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.
