Singapore’s property auction market rebounded in the third quarter of 2015, with overall sales reaching $27.63 million or more than double the $9.99 million in the second quarter, but still below the $31.65 million achieved during the same period last year, revealed property consultancy JLL.
A total of 10 sales were closed during the quarter, up from five in Q2 and on par with the 10 deals recorded a year ago.
JLL noted that 70 percent of sales involved residential properties worth $13.62 million, up significantly from the previous quarter’s $6.83 million.
Among them was the sale of a four-bedroom apartment at The Imperial on 5 Jalan Rumbia for $3.44 million, which was 11 percent higher than its opening price of $3.10 million.
“Overall, the attendance at auctions has been encouraging, with most experiencing a full house. All of the 10 sales that JLL has seen in the last quarter have been successfully sold at first appearance, which is indeed a positive result,” said Mok Sze Sze, head of auction and sales at JLL.
