Prices of non-landed homes to inch up 0.3% in 4Q12

-

Go and get one.

According to Knight Frank, the number of unsold private residential units fell by 4.3 per cent from 39,408 units in 2Q 2012 to 37,728 units in 3Q 2012.

This is  partially due to the increase in the number of units sold by developers from 5,402 units in 2Q 2012 to 5,916 units in 3Q 2012 (9.5 per cent increase q-o-q).

However, total private residential supply in the pipeline, including units under construction and planned, increased 0.9 per cent q-o-q to 83,975 units in 3Q 2012.

The increase in pipeline supply together with the rising vacancy rate (from 5.9 per cent in 2Q 2012 to 6.1 per cent in 3Q 2012) amidst existing cooling measures might put downward pressure on prices of private residential properties in the near to medium term.

In view of the existing market conditions, we envisage prices of non-landed homes to remain stable and could register marginal increase of around 0.1 to 0.3 per cent for the last quarter this year.

The Straits Times  |  MARCH 22, 2013 The Pines Club in Stevens Road will be made over into a hotel and commercial development in an ambitious redevelopment plan. A unit of developer Oxley Holdings has agreed to buy the 18,477 sq m estate for $318 million on a 103-year lease. Oxley has obtained provisional permission to develop two blocks of eight-storey hotels, two blocks of two-storey commercial buildings and a four-storey clubhouse with a basement on the site, according to a company statement to the Singapore Exchange. The club's facilities will be integrated into the new complex. Motoring tycoon Peter Kwee told The Straits Times that club members will be offered places at the Laguna National Golf and Country Club in Changi during the interim construction period. He owns both clubs. Members will be able to use the Stevens Road clubhouse facilities after the redevelopment, estimated to take between two and three years. Talk about the estate's ma

Former Bt Timah Turf Club may become private estate: analyst

Channelnewsasia.com | Posted: 13 February 2013 2007 hrs SINGAPORE: Property analysts said the former Bukit Timah Turf Club area will probably be redeveloped into a private residential estate, consisting of a mix of landed properties and condominiums. The government is setting aside this piece of land for residential use as part of the recently-released Land Use Plan. The Grandstand is an establishment that sits on the former Bukit Timah Turf Club. The new family lifestyle development was set up just last year. But in five years' time, it may no longer be around. The lease expires in 2018 and housing redevelopment is expected to begin then. Analysts believe the lease may not be extended. Nicholas Mak, executive director of research and consultancy at SLP International said: "If any of these operators have plans to upgrade or to renovate their premises, I think they have to take into consideration that they probably have only about five years left to
