Singapore Home Sales in May Fall 34% as Fewer Projects Launched

Singapore home sales fell 34 percent in May as fewer new projects were launched.

Developers sold 1,024 units last month, compared with a revised 1,558 in April, according to Urban Redevelopment Authority data released on Thursday. A total of 339 new properties were offered, down from 1,616 in April, the data showed.

Developers have still notched sales of more than 1,000 units a month for the past three months, after the government in March relaxed a raft of measures to cool home prices. Property prices fell 3 percent last year and have dropped for 14 straight quarters, the longest slide since the data were first published in 1975.
