More than 50,000 new homes to be complete between 2013 and 2015

This is an 18.5% increase on the private housing stock.

According to Colliers International, a very sizeable residential supply will come on-stream in the next few years.

More than 50,000 new homes are scheduled to complete between 2013 and 2015, representing an 18.5% increase on the private housing stock of 273,050 (as of 2Q 2012) over the next three years. Buyer resistance to prices that are already at record levels is increasing, and the government is likely to implement more measures if the market shows any untoward reaction to QE3.

These factors should maintain some degree of stability and sustainability in Singapore’s residential market over the next 12 months. The impact of the QE3 on the Singapore residential market is hence expected to be short-term and will probably peter out before the end of 2012. Thus, residential prices are expected to edge up by only 2%-3% in the next 12 months.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
