Chart of the day: Leasing volume of private residential units continues QoQ plunges

The contraction, however, was not due to slow demand but limited completions.

This chart from Savills shows the quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) leasing volume of private residential properties, with leasing volume in the second quarter (Q2) of 2022 falling by 8.7%.

This was a much larger decreased compared to the 5% QoQ decrease in Q1. The dip on volume is also the third consecutive quarter decrease.

“The contraction in leasing volume does not imply slower rental demand but may be due to limited completions as the residential market continues to be affected by construction delays,” Savills said.

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.
