Monthly rent for posh homes dipped 8% YoY

Median rents for all non-landed homes held steady at S$3.53 per sq ft in April and May.

Here's from Savills:

Based on data released by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA), island-wide median rents for all non- landed properties, excluding executive condominiums, held steady at S$3.53 per sq ft per month in April and May this year.

Island-wide median rents for landed homes continued to rise this quarter reaching S$2.63 per sq ft per month in April and S$2.65 per sq ft per month in May.

Owing to strong leasing volume and sustained rental levels, the total transaction value for all properties hit an eight-month high of S$19.7 million in April.

Although the transaction value fell slightly in May to S$18.7 million, it is still higher than the S$16.8 million recorded last year.

The transaction value for the two months has reached S$38.4 million, 8% higher than a year ago.

The rents of high-end non-landed residential properties tracked by Savills showed a four-month consecutive fall.
The average monthly rent dipped to S$5.03 per sq ft per month in Q2/2012, sliding 3% QoQ.

On a YoY basis, prime rents fell by 8% from S$5.46 per sq ft per month in Q2/2011.

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.
