Condo resale volume surges 129.4% to 1,475 units in November

Prices also rose 6.2% YoY.

The resale prices of non-landed private residential rose 6.2% YoY and 0.5% MoM, the Singapore Real Exchange (SRX) revealed.

According to flash data, all individual sectors - Core Central Region (CCR), Rest of Central Region (RCR), and Outside Central Region (OCR) saw price jumps of 1.4%, 0.1%, and 0.3%, respectively.

The CCR index also hit a new high at 166.3. This is 1.2% higher than the last peak in Oct 2013.

Meanwhile, around 1,475 units were resold within the month, a 129.4% surge from last year's 643 units and a 0.9% jump from October's 1,462 units.

Here's more from SRX:

The median transaction over x-value (T-O-X) for Non-Landed Private Residential measures whether people are overpaying or underpaying the SRX Property X-Value estimated market value.

The median T-O-X in November 2017 is POSITIVE $12,000. This is a $6,000 increase comparing to POSITIVE $6,000 T-O-X in October 2017.

For districts with more than 10 resale transactions in November 2017, District 11 (Newton / Novena) posted the highest median T-O-X at POSITIVE $80,000. This means that a majority of the buyers in those districts purchased units above the computer-generated market value.

District 12 (Balestier / Toa Payoh) posted a T-O-X of NEGATIVE $9,000. This means that a majority of the buyers in these districts purchased units below the computer-generated market value.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
