Property prices to rise 7% in 2011

Unit transaction volumes are expected to fall to 12,000 units this year, said Macquarie.

Given the new property measures, Macquarie suspects overall prices to be affected if the expected transaction volume decline is more protracted this round, which may force some developers to consider lowering selling price expectation to move their inventory.

DBS also expects immediate drop in volume transactions. They believe that the primary sales projects for this year could tilt towards the lower end of their 10,000-20,000 units estimate.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
