Singapore developers sold 1,921 housing units in July, including executive condominiums (ECs), compared to just 768 units in the previous month, data from the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) showed.

Analysts attributed the surge in transactions to more launches and the end of the school holidays in June, which is traditionally a quiet time for the property market.

There were 1,486 units launched (including ECs), up from a mere 234 in June when no EC projects hit the market.

The chart-topping project in July was Lake Grande, a private condo in the up-and-coming Jurong Lake District, followed by three EC projects. The Trilinq rounds out the top five list.
