Shophouse property deals muted in Q3

Transactions during the quarter were down by half.

Commercial shophouse market activity is muted in the third quarter of the year with only 34 transactions recorded during the quarter, down from 67 in the second quarter PropNex reported.

Of the 34 shophouse transactions, District 8 saw the highest sales at 17 units. It also led in terms of transaction values with a total of $134.4m in deals.

For the quarter, transaction value stood at $330m, representing a 33.2% quarter-on-quarter and 20% year-on-year decline.

In the first nine months, PropNex reported there were 153 deals, which dropped from 193 deals in the same period in 2021.

Transaction value in the first nine months of 2022 slipped slightly to $1.29b from $1.31b in 2021.

“While URA Realis caveat data showed that fewer deals have been transacted in the quarter, the number of deals is likely to become higher as several transactions have not been captured,” PropNex noted.

“The pool of shophouses put up for sale is observed to be shrinking with many owners holding onto these low-risk assets, while capitalising on buoyant occupier demand for shophouse space.”

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.
