Singapore's industrial sector posted weaker sales in Q2 2014, with only 354 caveats lodged for strata factories and warehouses, down 28.2 percent from the previous quarter and 63.3 percent down year-on-year, according to a Savills report. The report also noted that 60-year leasehold units sold more than twice the number of both freehold and 30-year leasehold units. "This implies that there is g reater buying confidence in 60-year leasehold units as they are perceived to be more fairly priced," it said. In Q2, prices of 30-year leasehold upper-storey factory and warehouse units tracked by Savills fell 1.5 percent, while 60-year leasehold and freehold prices climbed 0.9 percent and 3.4 percent respectively. According to Savills, the current oversupply of 30-year leasehold units, which had negatively affected prices, is "exacerbated by the government's plan to release an average of around 5.4 million sq ft of multi-user factory space over the next three years."
