Total residential sales volume surpassed 6,500 units for the second consecutive quarter in Q3, Knight Frank revealed.

According to the firm's data, new sale transactions reached 2,663 units, whilst resale transactions hit 3,949 units.

Knight Frank said the growth happened against a backdrop of stronger economic growth, returning homebuyer interest and the hype in land sales.

Total new sale transaction volume for 2017 would expect to be between 11,000 to 13,000 units, buoyed by returning interest from locals and foreigners and the outstanding quality of new project launches that has brought significant interest into the market.
