New home sales rise 13.6% MoM in March

However, it is 24.8% less than 654 units year-over-year.

New developer sales, excluding executive condominiums (ECs), rose by 13.6 % MoM to 492 units in March 2023, data from CBRE showed.

Comparing the figure to March 2022, however, sales dropped 24.8%.

CBRE said cautious buying sentiment amidst record-high interest rates and a slowing economy drove the MoM sales increase.

The March transactions bring the total new home sales for Q1 to 1,880 units, which is 29.9% lower year-on-year.

For the whole year, CBRE predicts that new home sales will reach 7,500-8,500 units, a marginal increase from 7,099 units sold in 2022.

Due to low unsold inventory and healthy household balance sheets, CBRE said prices are also likely to increase by 3%-5%.

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.
