Singapore luxury home prices to remain stable in 2011

Luxury residential prices in the Asia Pacific region are generally likely to remain stable or see slower growth in 2011 due to ongoing policy and interest rate risks.

According to Jones Lang LaSalle, the luxury markets in Hong Kong and Singapore should retain some price momentum due to strong end-user demand and with long-term investors continuing to be attracted by the current low holding costs and the potential hedge against inflation.

Prices in China are expected to either remain flat or edge down slightly over this year as developers will likely introduce more price discounts and launch less high-priced units over the next 12 months.

“The growing pool of high net-worth individuals from mainland China will not only lead to a structural change in buyers’ profile in Hong Kong’s luxury residential market, but will also gradually raise demand for high-quality residential properties in other Asian cities, where the investment environment and social infrastructure are good” says Joseph Tsang, Managing Director and Head of Capital Markets, Hong Kong.

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.
