Investment sales fall to $5.4b in Q4

The public sector accounted for 54.4% of the total sales in the quarter.

Investment sales in the fourth quarter declined to $5.4b from $7.3b in the previous quarter on the back of various factors including the year-end holiday season and weaker investor sentiment amidst economic uncertainty.

In a statement, Savills added that the high-interest rate, price expectation mismatch, and rigorous diligence checks to combat money laundering also contributed to the decline in investment sales.

The public sector contributed 54.5% of the total investment value during the quarter with six land parcels awarded under the Government Land Sites (GLS) Programme worth $2.9b.

The private sector, meanwhile, accounted for the remaining 45.5% worth $2.4b.

Investment sales in the residential sector are on par with the previous quarter at $3.5b, 82% of which were from the four GLS sites awarded worth $2.8b.

The total investment in the sector reached $10.3b the whole year on the back of 10 GLS residential sites awarded which are worth nearly $6.3b.

On the other hand, the investment sales in the commercial sector reached $1.6b in the fourth quarter, all from the private sector.

The total investment sales for 2023 in the commercial sector declined to $6.2b from $12.8b in 2022.

“The absence of mega deals played a critical part, coupled with weakening confidence in commercial properties due to economic uncertainty and compressed yields caused by rapidly rising interest rates, which led to the drop,” Savills said.

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.
