PRIVATE HOME SALES
HIGHEST SINCE 2009
Excluding executive condos (ECs), private home sales in Singapore
for the month of April 2012 reached 2,487 units, its highest level since July
2009 when 2,772 new homes were snapped up.
But month-on-month, overall private home sales saw a notable
decline, falling 12 percent to 2,660 units from a recorded 3,032 in March. The
figure is still 40 percent higher compared to the same period last year when
1,918 units were sold.
The most popular project was the 244-unit Katong Regency in
Paya Lebar, which saw all of its units sold at a median price of S$1,709 psf.
The 679-unit Ripple
Bay condo also saw strong sales in
the month. The developer released 293 units and recorded a take-up of 174 homes
that were sold at a median price of S$876 psf. Meanwhile, the 416-unit Hillsta
development sold 154 units at a median price of S$1,054 psf.
Other notable projects in the month were Palm Isles (153
