What will stabilise the weak property sector?

Upcoming new launches will pique buyer sentiment.

It will be a complete turnaround for the property sector in the coming months as upcoming launches will boost buyer sentiments.

According to a report by DBS Research, in the pipeline are a number of residential projects primed for launch in the coming months including Alps Residences (MCC Land), Forest Woods (CDL), The Clement Canopy(UOL) and Queens Peak (HY Realty).

"Healthy take-up rates during the launches will be seen by the market as sign of a further stabilisation of the property sector," the report said.

This is following the weak developer sales registered in August due to lack of major launches.

"The lack of new launches meant that primary sales came in 58% lower m-o-m, 17% lower y-o-y to 805 units," DBS noted.

Sales were partially buoyed by resale transactions, which saw a 30% YoY increase.

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.
