The top selling projects from the previous month continue to hold their positions in June – namely, Treasure At Tampines, Parc Clematis, The Florence Residences, Parc Esta, and Stirling Residences.
Acquisitions by foreign property buyers increased during the period under review, thanks to virtual viewings/green lanes.
HDB resale volume also picked up, with such buyers mitigating the leasehold risk of public units.
