Lifeless property market to spill into 2015 upon full scale quantitative easing

Property prices to drop only 6-10% per annum in 2015.

The three-party Catch-22 situation amongst homebuyers, developers and authorities will persist in the coming year.

According to a report by OSK-DMG, should the ECB launch a full scale quantitative easing programme at its next policy meeting on 22 Jan, the lifeless SG property market is likely to roll-over into 2015.

OSK-DMG projects new homes sales (incl. ECs) to hit 7,000-9,500 units and property prices to drop only 6-10% per annum in 2015.

Here’s more from OSK-DMG:

We reiterate that the three-party Catch-22 situation amongst homebuyers, developers and authorities will still persist. Homebuyers are holding back in anticipation of the surge in physical completions in 2015-16 and prospective price declines. Developers are dragging launches, with an eye on government stepping in to reverse some of its anti-speculation measures. From the authorities’ perspective, without a significant drop in property prices, it will be difficult to justify any easing of cooling measures, when prices are in general only slightly off their peaks in 3Q13 (down 4.9%).

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
