Private home sales in February hit 1,196

According to the latest property data released by URA, February 2010 sales of new condos (or private non-landed homes) reached 1,196, slightly short of the 1,476 seen in January. Though that figure is lower, let's not forget that last month had fewer days as well as the long Lunar New Year break.

Seems that the buying fervour hasn't been tempered by the cooling measures put in by the Govt. We've done some maths, come in and take a look.

If we divide the total sales by the number of days, we'd get 42.71 sales per day in February. For January, it works out to 47.61, or around 5 more units sold per day.

Take away 3 days in February to account for Chinese New Year however, and the figure rises to 47.84. That's roughly the same rate as January. So going by these numbers, perhaps the fever hasn't subsided as much as the Govt wants.

Developers also launched 1,161 units in February, compared to 1,424 units in January.

Notably these developments have also managed to secure some interesting prices:

Seven Palms at Sentosa Cove - $3318psf
Ritz Carlton Residences - $3762psf
The Orchard Residences - $3587psf
The Laurels - $2970psf
Nassim Park Residences - $3460psf
Jardin - $1903psf
Altez - $2397psf
The Estuary - $921psf

The Estuary in Yishun walks away with the crown in February, with 386 units sold (32% of all February sales). The Altez takes runners up with 150 units sold. But what is interesting is how we are seeing more developments being sold above $3000psf in February - there was only one in January (Orchard View).

Singapore property developers cautious about market outlook

SINGAPORE : Property developers seem pessimistic about the outlook for Singapore's real estate market in 2012, with some analysts foreseeing a five to ten percent drop in property prices this year. But market watchers also say the strong interest in recent property launches could defy these forecasts and even lead to more cooling measures. Celebrations continue but property developers are still in the dark about the outlook for Singapore's property market in 2012. Mr Wong Heang Fine, President, Real Estate Developer's Association of Singapore, said: "We are cautious. On the market going forward, it all depends on how the global economy goes in the next eleven months. So it's really anybody's guess." URA data shows the rate of price increase for private residential properties moderating for the ninth consecutive quarter with rentals also tapering off.  More details at  http://www.channelnewsasia.com Source : MediaCorp Pte Ltd by Yvon

More mid-end units sold in April

Image
According to April's price range of residential units sold from URA, there's an uptrend in the sale of condos in the mid-end price range ($1,000 to $2,000 psf). April has seen a total of 1,211 units sold in this price range, that's a 53% increase compared to March (791). High-end units on the other hand, didn't fare so well, seeing a 40% drop in sales. Has the high-end segment lost steam? Or perhaps taking a breather? Or could the turmoil in far-away Europe be a contributing factor? It's hard to say. It's interesting to note that sales in the mass market and mid-end market have contributed greatly to the big hike in April sale numbers. Developers have of late been concentrating on the mass-market ( Tree House ) and mid-end ( Waterbank at Dakota ) developments, rightly so as these segments have been neglected since the start of the year.
