Properties to be sold above $1,000psf

Of the total 1,196 private residential units sold in February, 53.3% exceeded $1,000psf, and the trend is expected to continue over the next few months.

"The median prices for the mass market properties are also likely to breach the $1,000psf mark," said a PropNex statement, adding the project The Vision saw all 100 units launched during its Phase 1 sold at $1,000–$1,200psf.

PropNex CEO Mr Mohamed Ismail said, "The middle to high-end markets may have seen a decline in their figures, but there is still movement in those markets," referring to the 150 units sold at Altez and the 82 units sold at Waterscape At Cavenagh for median prices of $1,817psf and $1,877psf respectively.

Given the expected buoyancy in prices of private residential properties, Mr Ismail advises prospective buyers to buy now but only within their means.

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.
