SINGAPORE - The private resale housing market showed no sign of slowing down with the number of condominium units resold in March hitting the highest since May 2011, as prices rose for the eighth consecutive month.
Buyers were out in force last month as sales rebounded by 28.9 per cent to an estimated 1,662 units from 1,289 units in February with its Chinese New Year lull, according to flash data from real estate portal SRX released on Tuesday (April 13).
This makes March the ninth straight month to see more than 1,000 private resale units change hands.
Sales last month are also 122.5 per cent higher than March last year, and 75.3 per cent more than the five-year average volume for the month of March.

“Personally, (I had) mixed reactions because we have a long history and we also have kids who are very used to the school. With this change, they’ll need some time to adjust,” principal of Stamford Primary School Cassie Fan.
