CapitaLand reported sharply lower quarterly profits as home sales slowed. It is expected to post a 64% in full-year to December 2008 earnings to S$1.02 billion from S$2.8 billion last year, according to analysts polled by Reuters Estimates. Its 2007 results had been boosted by US$1.1 billion in one-off revaluation gains. On the other hand, City Developments is expecting to post a 1.8% rise in full-year 2008 earnings to S$738 million, with earnings supported by demand for its mass market residential projects launched earlier this year.

Allgreen Properties posted a 39.1% drop in revenue to $74.1 million for the three months to June 30. Net profit fell 36.5 per cent to $17.2 million. Meanwhile, MCL Land's revenue plunged in the second quarter to US$353,000 (S$482,000), from US$133.5 million last year. But the group's net profit rose 45 per cent in the quarter to US$3.2 million, thanks to a write-back. MCL Land expects the completion of Mera Springs and The Esta in the second half to boost its overall performance.

PropNex has unveiled a range of initiatives aimed at improving the quality of its agents. Agents will be properly insured to proficiency tests covering subject like ethics and HDB regulations. PropNex said the new benchmark could result in 500 below-par agents being sacked by the end of the year. The Institute of Estate Agents (IEA) launched a new practising certificate for members last year. The IEA represents about 1,600 agents and aims to act for the entire industry eventually. There is also a three-year-old Singapore Accredited Estate Agencies scheme, which conducts the original Common Examination for House Agents (Ceha). ERA Realty and HSR Property Group say they already have in place high standards for their agents. ERA has about 2,800 agents, all of whom must go through a training regime. It also terminates about 500 inactive agents a year. Neither ERA nor HSR requires agents to have indemnity insurance.

Private home rents may wobble but won't crash</td></tr>
<tr height="12">
<td valign="top" width="625" height="12">
Developers and other analysts say that the number of completed homes may not be that high and the economic situation next year not that bad. URA put the number of landed and non-landed private homes expected to be completed in 2009 at 10,418, compared to earlier CBRE’s data of 13,400. CapitaLand’s in-house estimates say about 12,000 units. With demolitions of about 1,700-1,850 units in 2009 to consider, net supply next year could therefore come in even lower. Many of the new units coming onstream in 2009 and 2010 have already been sold, and not all of them will end up on the rental market. The number of HDB resale applications also rose 22 % quarter-on-quarter. HDB upgraders who buy mass market private units will not rent out their new homes and many of the units in new mass market condos completed in 2009 and 2010 will not be part of the supply for renters. For now, while rental growth is slowing down, it is still on the uptrend. 2.5% growth in Q2, slower than the 6% increase in Q1. The other bigger factor will be the state of the macroeconomic environment. CBRE adopted scenarios in which the economic climate either stays the same or worsens in 2009 to arrive at its forecasts. Other analysts, on the other hand, expect things to turn around in the second half of 2009.  For now, jobs growth is continuing apace, they point out. 70,600 new jobs were created in the Q2, down only slightly from a record 73,200 jobs in Q1 and the second highest job creation rate on record. Citigroup economist is concerned about a slowdown in financial services hiring but companies in other industries should continue hiring next year. The overall pool of renters should therefore continue to climb in 2009. Savills Singapore said growth in mass market and HDB rents should continue next but asking rents at large high-end apartments - of 4,000 sq ft and more - could fall as companies cut back on housing allowances for their employees.

这个报道有几个地方可以提一下。组屋转售的申请季度上提高了22%，其中一部分人士是决定进军大众公寓市场。而租金释放方面，持续上涨，但有放缓的趋势。昨天一个朋友告诉我，他在武吉班让的组屋因合约到期，屋主竟然将房租从1500 提高到2300。这也是很多PR决定买房的主要原因。

CapitaLand to launch freehold condo soon</td></tr>
<tr height="12">
<td valign="top" width="625" height="12">
CapitaLand plans to launch in the second half of this year a freehold condo - Urban Resort - with about 70 units on the Silver Tower site in Cairnhill. Average price is to be above $3,000 psf. CapitaLand has also sold 11 of the 40 units released so far at Latitude at Jalan Mutiara in the River Valley area at an average price of $2,400 to $2,500 psf. Over at Tong Watt Road, it has sold close to 30 of 80 units released recently at The Wharf Residence; prices range from $1,500 to $1,900 psf. CapitaLand are positive that the demand is still very good for the mass market, whereas there won’t be a massive demand in the high-end side. And given Singapore's limited land resource and with population projected to grow to 6.5 million, in the long term, property prices will go up.</td></tr>

CapitaLand saw Q2 net profit falling 43.5 per cent year-on-year to $515.2 million. Despite the cautious market sentiment, CapitaLand are positive of the outlook. CapitaLand's Q2 net profit drop was due mainly to lower fair value gains from the revaluation of investment properties, lower portfolio gains and developments profits, and the absence of writeback of previous provisions. The group posted return on equity of 15 per cent in H1 2008, down from 38 per cent in the corresponding year-ago period but slightly ahead of the 14.5 per cent achieved for full-year 2006.Overseas contribution to earnings before interest and tax rose 10.4 per cent year-on-year to $695.8 million in H1 2008. The increase came mostly from China but was partly offset by a lower contribution from Australia.

11 new sites to house 65,000 foreign workers</td></tr>

<td valign="top" width="625" height="12">
11 new sites have been identified for building dormitories that will house 65,000 foreign workers, but these facilities will take till 2010 to complete. In the meantime, vacant government buildings will be converted into temporary quarters for these workers, said MOM. Demand for housing for foreign workers had gone up in tandem with the growth of various industry sectors. Singapore Contractors Association Limited are keen to have as many housing facilities as possible for foreign workers, as there is a shortage. But basically, there is now not enough land to build these housing facilities. Some existing dormitories fail to meet basic needs as well because of the limited space. Employers, such as ExxonMobil Asia-Pacific, have opted to build their own dormitories. Final touches are being added to ExxonMobil's 9ha facility, which can take in 9,000 petrochemical workers. A year from now, the company expects as many as 12,000 workers at the site, during the construction of its second chemical plant.

HDB rents still well on the rise 
HDB rents continued their steady rise in the second quarter as demand arrives from expats on smaller housing allowances and those priced out of condo market. Average monthly rents of four-room flats climbed almost 10% to $1,750, from $1,600 in the previous three months. Bukit Batok, Central, Serangoon and Hougang saw major rent rises across all flat types. In Q2, 8 out of every 10 towns saw higher rents for four-room flats, with Jurong East experiencing jumps of up to 21%. Among the priciest place to rent a four-room flat are flats in the Central area and Bishan, which command $2,000 or more. Monthly rents of three-room and five-room flats went up by $100 on average to $1,500 and $1,900 respectively. For five-room flats, Bukit Timah, Jurong West and Hougang were especially in demand. But the most expensive five-room flats are still in Marine Parade and Central, where they go for $2,550 and $2,400 a month, respectively. Rentals for HDB flats are likely to hold steady or even rise for the rest of the year as they remain much more affordable than condos, predicted Dennis Wee Properties.

Growth in office occupancy costs tapers off in Q2
Apart from Raffles Place, Shenton Way/ Robinson Road/Cecil Street and decentralised areas, growth in occupancy costs in other areas like Marina Centre and Orchard Road was flat in 2Q 2008,' said DTZ. Average occupancy cost of prime office space in Raffles Place grew only 1.1% quarter on quarter to $19 psf per month (pm) in the second quarter. In the Shenton Way/Robinson Road/Cecil Street area, the average office occupancy cost rose by 2.6% quarter on quarter to $11.80 psf pm, while office buildings in HarbourFront enjoyed a higher growth of 5.3% to $10 psf pm. Cautious business outlook and companies gravitating towards cheaper premises like decentralised office buildings, industrial properties, business parks and disused state properties are putting a downward pressure on office occupancies, said DTZ. Islandwide, average occupancy eased by 0.2% quarter on quarter to 96.9% in Q2 2008. As a result of occupiers moving out to cheaper locations, office occupancies in Raffles Place and Marina Centre dropped by 0.35 to 97.4% and 1.2% to 98.6% respectively. In decentralised areas like Novena and HarbourFront, occupancy levels rose by 0.4% to 99.0% and 1.1% to 98.7% respectively.

Singapore's 'gateway to Asia' tag takes a beating
Singapore got 14% of votes from investors polled on what they believe is the most attractive location for a headquarters in Asia. That is compared with Japan's 20%, making it the No 1 choice. Hong Kong was second, followed by China. As for the most competitive logistics hub, China (35%) topped the league, ahead of Hong Kong and Japan. Singapore polled on par with India (8%) at forth place. The poll was commissioned by Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. Carried out by Ernst & Young from February to April, the poll covered 209 senior executives. Jetro's poll also shows that while Japan is ranked the most attractive Asian country, for foreign direct investment (FDI), Singapore outdid Japan last year when it came to committed FDI projects. Singapore was the least favourable in terms of labour costs, but was the second most competitive location in terms of corporate tax. Singapore was rated the third most attractive location for transparency and stability for political and legal environments.

UIC, S'pore Land post big gains, but advise caution ahead
Singapore Land attributed the surge in its profits to higher rental income and room revenue. Its net profit doubled from $34 million last year to $68 million, while revenue shot up 25% to $89.2 million. United Industrial Corporation’s (UIC) net profit rose 63% from $28.3 million to $46.3 million, due to a surge in rental takings. Revenue jumped 59% to $219.9 million, due mainly to higher property sales, higher rental income and increased revenue from Pan Pacific Singapore's operations. Sale of properties totalled $101.6 million in the quarter, up from $41.5 million last year. UIC and Singapore Land are expecting growth in the office and retail rental market to moderate, while the residential market to soften.

Stalemate threatens Thomson collective sale 
The collective sale of five small estates near Thomson Road seems to have hit the rocks. The deal was inked last November, when a unit of listed developer KSH Holdings signed up to buy Norfolk Court, Mergui Lodge, Northern Mansion, Mergui Court and The Mergui for $120 million. It also paid a 10% deposit. The buyers, however, failed to close the sale despite a two-month extension. KSH offered to pay $3 million as additional deposit if the sellers agree to a further three-month extension. Sources said the deal hit problems when the firm tried to buy a 1,000sq m section of a road from the SLA. The land is needed so the five estates near Rangoon and Moulmein roads can be combined and developed into one large project. This will give a land area of 74,355 sq ft and a gross floor area of 208,196 sq ft. It will allow a high-rise block with about 142 luxury flats each measuring 1,250 sq ft on average. Industry sources said that the SLA had priced the land at $16 million - double what KSH and industry experts expected. The property firm has appealed to the SLA to review the price. If no consensus is reached - and the sellers reject the $3 million - the deal will be off, but the flat owners will keep the $12 million deposit - about $136,000 on average for each of the 88 units. If the deal goes through, each unit will receive between $906,856 and $1,908,491.

Father's tough love that shaped a leader
Escaping a leadership role in Far East Organization was never an option for chief executive Philip Ng because of the 'conditioning' that he and his brother had received from their father and Singapore's richest man, Ng Teng Fong. 'My father is a mentor but a tough one. As you know the term, tough love’, said Mr Ng. He also said that the completion of its new mall Orchard Central will be delayed until the first quarter of next year. The project was expected to be completed by the end of this year.

UK construction falls at record pace in July
British construction activity fell at a record pace in July, a survey showed, as the credit crunch takes a toll on the property market. The Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply/Markit construction purchasing manager's index (PMI) fell to 36.7 last month - the weakest reading since 1997 - from 38.8 in June. Any reading below 50 signals contraction. The weak figures add to fears that Britain is entering its first recession. The housing sub-index fell to a series low of 18.7 in July from 25.6, the eighth consecutive fall.

Australia house prices fall in Q2
Australian house prices fell in the second quarter for the first time in almost three years as the high borrowing costs deterred home buyers. An index measuring the weighted average of prices for established houses in the nation's eight capital cities fell 0.3% from the March quarter, when it rose a revised 0.4%, the Australian Bureau of Statistics said in Sydney. The median estimate of 18 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News was for a 1.3% drop. Second-quarter house prices rose 8.2% from a year earlier, the smallest gain in two years, after climbing a revised 13.2% in the first quarter.
