Where Is The Market Heading? (22nd to 28th Feb 2021)
This is a new segment that we are starting today to give you a clearer perspective of where the property market is heading. Every Monday, we will compile the weekly developer’s sales for the past week and put them in this blog post for your reference. Do take note that we may not be able to cover all developments in the market. And sales generally refer to the issuance of OTP. This data may be reflected in URA at a much later date because some developers offer deferred payment schemes. Sales data in URA are only captured when caveats are lodged.
Parc Central Residences. Best Selling Development For The Last Week Of February 2021
The other reason why we do this is that the demand for real estate is one of the hardest things to predict. If this demand is so easy to figure out, then the government does not need to introduce so many cooling measures. All of which is to curb consumer demand in an instant. The unpredictability of this demand is also the main reason why so many analysts get it wrong. Do take note that there is enough liquidity in the entire world to buy out all the developer’s units in Singapore tomorrow. The only reason why this is not happening is due to market sentiment and the various barriers of entry to acquire real estate in Singapore.
From the data shown, it is also possible to identify which developments have demand that is more inelastic. If you need to understand what this means, do refer to my article on Geylang shoebox apartments. The best time to buy these types of properties was yesterday.

Parc Central Residences Takes The Lead With 62 units Sold.
For the last week of February (22nd to 28th) 2021, developers sold 232 units. Most of these units were located outside the core central region. The significant jump in this week’s sales compared with 116 units the previous week was largely due to Parc Central Residences’ opening up for 2nd timers to purchase. These 2nd timers account for more than 25% of all the developer’s units sold last week.
Units in the luxury market are also moving, with 2 units sold at Wallich Residence and one at Bishopgate Residences. These sales numbers have been consistent with previous weeks ranging from about 15 to 30 units per week.
Strong Demand For Completed Developer’s Units
Also, newly TOP developments have been seeing robust interest. Units were snapped up after buyers were able to view them physically. With the last 2 units sold this week, Seaside Residences now joins Amber 45, Grandeur Park Residences and Forest Woods in this 100% sold club.
For a detailed analysis of this weekly sales, do contact us, and we would be able to share further insights with you. Meanwhile, stay safe, and I hope that this weekly batch of data will help you better understand the market.
