A combination of affordable prices and CPF changes keep resale flats in resilient demand<\/p>\n

The resale volume of public housing in Singapore stood at just 1,921 units in August, a drop of 9.4 percent month-on-month and 7.6 percent from a year ago.<\/p>\n

The sales volume decline may be attributed to the seasonal effect of the lunar year\u2019s seventh month, a traditionally slow period for transactions, according to Christine Sun, head of research and consultancy at OrangeTee & Tie Pte Ltd<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The sales decline is \u201cnot as significant\u201d as last year though. \u201cSales volume dipped by a bigger magnitude of 18.5 percent [on the month] in August 2018, possibly due to the weaker buying sentiment after the property cooling measures were implemented in July 2018.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last month’s resale volume eclipses the 12-month average of 1,830 units between August 2018 to July 2019\u2014indicating a resilience in demand for resale flats, the consultancy noted.<\/p>\n

Prices of resale units, which slid 0.6 percent year-on-year last month, have galvanised buying. \u201cResale flats remain an attractive housing option for buyers given their price affordability,\u201d said Sun.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe may expect resale prices to remain soft as competition is likely to stiffen further with more flats reaching their MOP in the coming months,\u201d she added, referring to the mandatory five-year minimum occupation period (MOP) of resale flats.<\/p>\n

Demand for older flats has increased due to recent Central Provident Fund (CPF) changes allowing buyers to use more of their social security funds and take out bigger HDB loans for ageing units, Sun noted. Around 564 flats older than 40 years were transacted from May to June, compared with 403 in the same period last year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
