Home prices to increase 3% in 2011

The recent round of cooling measures are likely to dampen market transactions over the next few months, DBS said.

Since buying confidence and longer holding period force buyers to re-evaluate their purchasing decisions, primary sales volume is projected at only 10,000 units for 2011.

Developers too are likely to re-time launches. DBS believes the overall market sentiment to be negatively impacted, with speculators the most hit.

The upgraders' mass market segment is also likely to be adversely affected by the lower mortgage financing quantum, given the tendency for higher leverage.

DBS expects home prices to move between 0-3% this year with a flattening out of low and mid end prices and a gradual recovery in the upper end segment.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
