The Q2 number was shored up by the sale of 801 private homes in June - a huge jump from the 453 units sold in May and the best month since August last year. CBRE predicts that full-year sales volume will come in at 4,000-5,000 units. URA's data showed that the stock of private homes that could be launched for sale but have been held back continued to mount, hitting 13,005 at end-June, up 20.5% from the preceding quarter. There were 3,379 units launched but unsold at the end of June this year - some 40.3% higher than the end-2007 number. For Q2, developers launched 1,820 private homes, taking the figure for first-half 2008 to around 3,200 units. Knight Frank's analysis showed that, in June, most units were launched for sale in the Rest of Central Region - which had a 57% share. The region also accounted for 57% of total private homes sold by developers in June. The highest-priced transaction in June was $3,653 psf at Nassim Park Residences. </font><font face="Verdana" color="black"></font></p>

<p><u><font face="Arial" color="#ff6600" size="1">Up 77%: New private home sales</font></u></p>
<p><font face="Arial" color="black" size="1">Sales of new private homes shot up 77% to 801 units last month, on the back of more project launches. But the mood in the property market remains cautious, market watchers say. Last month, the total number of units launched by developers - mostly in the mass to mid-end segment - registered a jump of 124% to 1,069 units, according to URA. Developers are stepping up launches despite the weak sentiment as they want to launch ahead of the Hungry Ghost month, said Colliers. Last month's healthy sales figures were propped up by the volume at two 99-year leasehold projects. Clover by the Park accounted for 197 units sold - out of 308 units launched for sale - at a median price of $765 psf. The 348-unit Dakota Residences sold 144 of 210 launched units at $978 psf. Most of the properties sold last month were under $1,000 psf, indicating demand from upgraders, said Savills. June sales show there is latent demand but buyers are price-sensitive, said DTZ. This month's sales figures are expected to be even stronger owing to more new launches, consultants said. Colliers International's research shows that luxury apartment prices already fell 3.9% from the first quarter to an average of $3,049 psf in the second quarter. </font><font color="black"></font></p>

<p><u><font face="Arial" color="#ff6600" size="1">12 MRT stations for Bukit Timah by 2015 </font></u></p>
<p><font face="Arial" color="black" size="1">12 new MRT stations will come up in the Bukit Timah area as part of Stage 2 of the Downtown Line. This phase, to be completed by 2015, will give Bukit Timah residents access to trains for the first time. The stations will also serve the Toh Yi and Bukit Panjang Housing Board estates, and take commuters to shopping malls such as Serene Centre, Beauty World and Ten Mile Junction. Stage 2 will intersect other MRT lines at Little India, Newton and the Botanic Gardens. This section spans 16.6km, from Rochor in the south to Bukit Panjang in the north. Taking the train is expected to shave travelling time from Bukit Panjang to Marina Bay by almost half an hour. Major construction on the line is expected to start in the middle of next year. The Downtown Line is being built in 3 stages and will have 40 stations, with trains running from the north-western and eastern areas of Singapore to the CBD and Marina Bay. Jones Lang LaSalle said properties within walking distance of MRT stations typically see an enhancement in value. </font></p>
