Average capital values for luxury apartments to drop 3%

Take-up rates seen to be robust.

According to Colliers International, over the next three months, mass-market and mid-tier homes will continue to be favoured over the high-end/luxury segment.

As such, prices of luxury/super-luxury apartments are expected to continue trending downwards after falling 0.6% from January to September. For the year as a whole, average capital values for luxury/super luxury apartments are expected to soften by not more than 3%.

With regards to rents in the luxury/super-luxury segment, developments which are superior in terms of location, facilities, unit layout and services offered should still enjoy healthy take-up rates.

Nonetheless, leasing activity which improved in the July to August period is likely to slow down during the October to December quarter amid the year-end festivities.

Coupled with mounting completions, the average monthly gross rents of luxury/super-luxury homes, which have weakened 1.4% over the past three quarters, is expected to hold firm or decline marginally in the final quarter of 2013.

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.
