| ● 李敏雯 報道 私宅銷售今年9月份異常強勁，若包括執行共管公寓，發展商總共賣出2064個私宅，是今年以來最強勁的單月數字。 這也比8月份的1641個多了26％。 市區重建局昨天公布的數據顯示，不包括執行共管公寓（Executive Condominiums，簡稱EC）在內，發展商9月總共賣出1631個私宅，超過八成是大眾私宅。這是今年來第二強勁的月份，僅次於4月賣出1805個私宅的紀錄。 9月份的數字也較前個月的1351個高出兩成，更比一年前猛漲79％。8月份為農曆七月中元節，是傳統上淡季。 新數據顯示，9月最旺熱的領域依然是代表大眾私宅的中央區以外（Outside Central Region，簡稱OCR）私宅，總共售出1321個私宅。推出市場的則有1504個。 代表中檔私宅的其他中央區（Rest of Central Region，簡稱 RCR）銷售也回暖，比前個月上揚54％，發展商賣出260個私宅。核心中央區（Core Central Region，簡稱CCR），即高檔住宅區的表現則依然疲弱，隻售出50個私宅。 齊樂行研究與谘詢部門主管王德輝說，大眾私宅的銷售朝上走，1321個私宅是今年來最多的單月數字，可見該領域不受近來全球股市震蕩影響，主導市場的是來自組屋提升者的需求。 高力國際研究與谘詢部主管謝岫君也指出，9月份賣得最佳的項目，是森聯集團在榜鵝地鐵站的新項目A Treasure Trove，占9月份中央區以外新私宅總體成交量的52％。 該項目目前已推出790個私宅，售出683個，中位數尺價為每平方英尺915元。位於盛港的The Luxurie，在9月也再賣70個私宅。 |
中檔領域中賣得理想的是東海岸的永久地契共管公寓Meyerise，以1789元的尺價賣出108個私宅。
第一太平戴維斯研究與谘詢部副董事張敏璋說，約一半的新私宅是以介於750元至1000元的尺價成交，旺熱的銷售是有價位合理的私宅項目登場所致。
世邦魏理仕執行董事李曉和指出，9月份賣出的EC數目，從8月份的290個猛增至433個。這顯示政府把EC家庭收入頂限從1萬元上調至1萬2000元，刺激了EC銷量。
他說，海峽實業財團推出的Arc at Tampines，總共賣出233個單位，中位數尺價是734元。樂水居（RiverParc Residence）再售90個單位，中位數尺價685元。
城市發展的Blossom Residences也以706元的價位，再賣出52個單位。
張敏璋認為，本月有太多私人組屋（DBSS）和EC項目登場，引開私宅市場的注意力。他預計10月份不包括EC的私宅，銷售將在1500個左右的水平。
仲量聯行研究部主管蔡炎亮博士說，盡管銷售活動上揚，但全島私宅認購率卻有所下滑至85％。8月份的數字是98％。
“市場繼續對價格保持敏感，當中高檔的項目隻有低於50％的銷量之際，大眾化私宅卻能有超過70％的認購。”
隨著歐元區債務危機加深，市場人士認為，今年第二和第三季的私宅銷售成績不可能重演。
蔡炎亮說，今年首九個月的私宅銷量達到1萬2643個，但第四季每個月的銷售可能介於900至1200個，這意味著今年全年的銷售量，將在1萬5350個至1萬6250個之間。李曉和說：“這高於2009年的1萬4688個單位，但是否會達到2010年的1萬6292個，還讓人拭目以待。

HDB upgraders set pace in private property market
The private residential market saw a rebound in September.
Figures released by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) on Monday showed 2,064 units, including executive condominiums (ECs), were transacted.
This is the highest number of monthly transactions this year and a significant 26 per cent increase from August’s 1,638 units.
Treasure Trove, a development in Punggol, accounted for about 40 per cent of the transactions with more than 680 units sold.
PropNex Realty said the homebuyers are mainly HDB upgraders, attracted to the pricing and the proximity of the development to the Punggol MRT.
It said the revision of income ceiling had prompted many to purchase ECs.
Excluding ECs, the number of units sold in the mass market with units costing $1,200 psf or less, accounted for more than three quarters of the transactions.
Jones Lang LaSalle said the surprise upside in September monthly sales only confirms the view of an underlying market need for homes.
Dr Chua Yang Liang, head of Research, Southeast Asia, said the market remains price sensitive with projects in the suburban areas seeing more take-up compared to projects in the city and its fringes.
PropNex said it expects October’s sales to hold steady, with over 1,400 units sold. This is due to the fact that developers will be launching more projects in the coming months.
It added that it expects both home buyers and investors to take a more cautious approach on prices.

New home sales soar, despite global uncertainty
New home sales in Singapore surged last month despite global macroeconomic uncertainties and stock market volatility, driven by strong demand in mass market condominiums from HDB upgraders.
Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) data released yesterday showed developers sold 1,631 private homes last month, up 20.7 per cent from the 1,351 units in August. A total of 1,321 units were sold in the outlying areas, 260 in the city fringes and only 50 in the prime districts.
Including Executive Condominiums (ECs), September sales hit 2,064 units. This is the highest monthly volume this year and a strong 26 per cent jump from August’s 1,638 units, according to PropNex Realty.
Mr Mohamed Ismail, its chief executive, said: “September’s results were remarkable and largely contributed by the sale of A Treasure Trove closing 683 units, making up 42 per cent of the total transactions. These homebuyers are mainly HDB upgraders and the purchase rationale was the attractive pricing, with median price of S$915psf in this development, and its proximity to the Punggol MRT.”
Ms Chia Siew Chuin, director of research and advisory at Colliers International, said: “Encouraged by the strong unrelenting underlying demand for mass-market homes, developers rode on the buying momentum and upped their launches of such housing projects in the Outside Core Region (OCR) in September, ahead of any dampening of home buyers’ sentiment.”
The number of private homes, excluding ECs, launched last month rose 39.1 per cent from the previous month to 1,919 units – and 1,504 of these, or 78.4 per cent, were in the OCR.
A total of 433 EC units were sold last month, up from 290 in August. Mr Li Hiaw Ho, executive director at CBRE Research, said it was likely that the latest Government move to raise the household income ceiling for EC buyers from S$10,000 to S$12,000 per month had given a boost to sales.
For the rest of the year, Mr Li said that developers would be monitoring the impact of the euro zone crisis on the Singapore economy to time their project launches.
“Looking at launch-ready projects in Q4 and with prices remaining stable, it is unlikely that we will see the same level of take-up as in Q2 and Q3. We expect the total new home sales volume in 2011 to exceed the 14,688 units sold in 2009, but it remains to be seen whether it can outdo the record 16,292 units sold in 2010,” he added.
