Chart of the Day: Unit sales down 10% in H1

Pent-up demand and future launches likely to boost sales in H2.

This chart from Jefferies shows that H1 sales excluding executive condominiums (EC) was 10% lower YoY with 4018 units sold, notwithstanding the growth of sales in June.

Jefferies notes that assuming new cases in the local community stay low as Phase 2 progresses, project launches are likely to gather pace. Agents expect 40-50 launches this year with The Forett at Bukit Timah and Penrose likely to be launched this month and next month. Jefferies maintains its full year sales assumption of 8500 units.

Further, demand is expected to gravitate towards larger sized units and unit prices of those are likely to be priced higher. The increase in construction costs are driven by various factors such as supply disruptions, safety practices, changing dynamics within the construction industry, etc.

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.
