All the way down: Private condo sales to plunge 20% in 2015

Buying activity will only pick up in Q4.

Private condominium sales is expected to plunge by at least 20% in 2015. According to a report by PropertyGuru, private property transactions will contract to approximately 2,000 units for the first three quarters of the year.

However, buying activity may pick up in the fourth quarter, with condo sales expected to jump to 3,500-3,700 units.

“Overall, we expect the number of transactions to trend downwards by at least 20 percent from 2014 figures. Buying activity for private non-landed properties may pick up in Q4, once buyers have determined that prices have sufficiently bottomed out,” stated the report.

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.
