November home sales drop 44%, school holidays to blame.

According to an online report, home buyers snapped up 1,087 new private homes last month. This is 44% down from the close to 2,000 homes sold in October as the school holiday period dampened sales momentum.

Including executive condominiums (ECs), 1,266 homes were sold. Last month, the figure was 2,624 units.

Top selling projects for November include Eco Sanctuary which moved 140 units at a median price of $1,050psf, d'Leedon which sold 133 units at $1,431psf and Bartley Residences where buyers picked up 43 units at $1,230psf.
