Property investments drop 5.7% QoQ to $3.8b in 2Q23

Colliers attributed the decline to high borrowing costs.

Investments in Singapore’s property market fell by 50.1% YoY and 5.7% QoQ to $3.8b in 2Q23, data from Colliers showed.

In a report, Colliers attributed the decline to high borrowing costs which “makes larger assets less digestible.”

OF the total volume in 2Q23, 17.7% were Government Land Sales (GLS) transactions.

Without the GLS deals, deal investment volume for the quarter would have dropped by 19.2% QoQ to $3.1b.

Excluding the GLS deals, the residential, industrial, and office sectors carried the market, accounting for 33.5%, 26.7%, and 18.3% of the deals in 2Q23, respectively.

Towards the end of 2023, Colliers believes that transaction volumes will pick up.

“More clarity on the trajectory of interest rates and inflation” will help investors in their decision-making, said the real estate expert.

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.
