More housing supply to drag on price and rental outlook: DBS

Developers’ margins are likely to normalise going forward with increasing public and private housing over the next two years.

According to DBS Vickers, primary sales for the five months have reached 10,867 units, a function of both robust demand and ample supply as developers continue to adopt a quick roll-out strategy. However, whilst volume sales are high, price momentum has moderated with more incentives as a norm in the current new launches.

"We still hold the view that the increasing supply of public and private housing completions accelerating from 2H12 and over the next two years could drag on price and rental outlook. Hence, developers’ margins are likely to normalise going forward."

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.
