Chart of the Day: Residential segment dominates investment sales

The residential segment contributed 54% of the total transaction value in the second quarter.

Savills Research reported:

The total value of investment sales increased by 52.4% from S$4.9 billion in Q1/2012 to S$7.4 billion in Q2/2012.

The public sector contributed S$3.1 billion or 41.7% of all investment sales in the reviewed quarter.

Under the Government Land Sales (GLS) programme, 15 state land parcels were sold for a total of S$2.9 billion.

Investment sales in the private sector rebounded, with the transaction volume surging 59.9% quarter-on-quarter (QoQ).

The residential segment continued to dominate, contributing 54.0% of Q2’s total transaction value.

Transaction volume in the commercial segment rose by 123.7% QoQ to S$2.3 billion.

In the near term, the investment market may hit a plateau given the worsening macro conditions and a squeeze on buyers’ financing.

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.
