Launches down, not buyer sentiment

It is not all bad news after all for Singapore residential property.

OCBC Investment Research noted:

Over the month, a traditionally lull period due to the Hungry Ghosts’ Month of the lunar calendar, a low 26% of total sales were attributed to projects newly launched.

Because of the boost new launches typically have on sales figures, we judge that the slowdown in headline sales momentum is more likely due to limited new launches than a meaningful slowdown in buyer sentiment.

Furthermore, we note that sales volumes continue to hover above healthy levels above 1k per month, underscoring the impact of a continued highly liquid environment.

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.
