Chart of the Day: Residential supply outstrips demand

The number of launched but unsold units reached 8,245 in May.

Savills Research reported:

From January to May 2012, about 2,500 units were launched per month. A total of 14,272 new homes (including ECs) were launched this year, a five-month record. This number has also surpassed the total launched for the full year prior to 2010.

As supply outstripped demand, the number of launched but unsold units picked-up, reaching an historical high of 8,245 units (including 933 ECs) in May. With more projects planned for launch in the second half of this year, the number of launched but unsold units is poised to hit a record high in 2012.

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.
