Prices of luxury homes dipped 6% in Q2

St Regis Residences was the major drag with prices down 28%.

According to Savills Consultancy & Research, after a massive run-up in prices during the property boom in 2007,
the current increase in unsold stock and imposition of property curbs have placed pressure on luxury home
prices.

Prices for non-landed new  sales dipped 5% QoQ to S$2,374 per sq ft in Q1/2012, sliding further to S$2,230 per sq ft in Q2/2012.

Bargain hunters hoping to snag a good buy may find some ripe pickings in the following developments:

19 units at Paterson  Suites were purchased at an average price of S$2,619 per sq ft this year, 10% below last year’s price level of S$2,915 per sq ft and 15% off the peak price in 2007.

Twelve units at the Orchard View changed hands at an average price of S$2,604 per sq ft, a substantial 21% discount from the 2010 peak price.

Four transactions at St Regis Residences posted the largest drop of 28% from the peak to S$2,228 per sq ft in 1H/2012.

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.
