MCL Land‘s Lake Grande took the lead in July’s property sales with 42.5 per cent of the month’s sales coming from this development. 464 out of its 500 units have already been sold at the median price of $1,368 psf.
Across the board, new private home sales have hit a one-year high last month with 825 suburban new private homes sold. In the city fringes and central districts, 213 and 53 units were sold respectively. This could be partly due to the rise in number of units launched, 624 in total, in July plus investors are taking advantage of the low interest rates and lower property prices to buy up available units with long-term potential.
Though the government has not yet eased up on the property cooling measures, they have held back the release of new land plots this year, which could have in turn helped clear unsold inventory. The executive condominium (EC) market is coming out strong with 830 units snapped up in July, more than thrice the 232 units sold in June. The 2 major EC launches last month were Treasure Crest in Anchorvale Cresecent and Northwave in Woodlands.

August may be a slower month as fewer deals are likely to be closed during the Hungry Ghost month, but as long as interest rates remain low, buyers will continue to scour the market for good deals. Property analysts are expecting the positive sentiments and increased interest to carry on to the end of the year.
