This time around, Savills Singapore's associates arm - Savills Residential - will merge with Huttons Asia. Savills Singapore is also Huttons' largest shareholder. The move will see Huttons strengthen its current pool of 3,044 brokers, with all 582 Savills commission-only residential brokers being invited to join. This is expected to enhance Huttons' capabilities in clinching appointments from developers to market their residential projects for sale. The post-merger business will trade as "Huttons - in association with Savills". Currently, Savills is not represented on the Huttons board. Huttons is a home-grown property agency set up in 2002. Savills Singapore acquired a stake in the company in 2005.

The high number of transactions surprised some because it was also the Hungry Ghost month, but it got an extra lift from Forett At Bukit Timah, a freehold development that was launched on Aug 8 - the first private residential project launch since the "circuit breaker" ended on June 1. A total of 212 units have been sold as of Aug 31. It is also up 13.6 per cent year-on-year and 9.3 per cent over July's 1,080. Including ECs, 1,276 units were sold in August.

August leasings for private condominiums and apartments tumbled 20.4 per cent month on month to 2,716 units. This is 47 per cent lower than a year ago and 42 per cent less than the five-year average volume for the month of August. The volume for HDB flats in August also fell, by 16.7 per cent from July to 1,025 flats. This is 46.2 per cent lower than a year ago and 44.1 per cent below the five-year average volume for August.

(65) 6253 0030 | Fax (65) 6253 0090 www.huttonsgroup.com Weekly News Select Sept 11, 2020 / Issue 37 Overall resale prices edged up 0.4 per cent month on month and year on year, according to flash figures from a real estate portal. This comes as the property market recovers from the slowdown encountered during Singapore's "circuit breaker" period, benefiting from pent-up demand. By region, 59.5 per cent of the units sold came from sales in the outside of central region (OCR), 20.8 per cent from the core central region (CCR) and 19.7 per cent from the rest of central region (RCR) or city fringes. Condo prices in the CCR and RCR declined year on year by 3.1 per cent and 1.7 per cent respectively, while OCR prices rose by 2.8 per cent.

Competition is stiff in the hotly sought-after estates of Toa Payoh and Geylang, especially for bigger flats. But in the last five years, there has not been a single five-room BTO flat launched outside of the Bidadari estate, which is part of Toa Payoh town. The Housing Board has launched 9,273 four-room BTO flats in centrally located mature estates since 2015, but only 642 five-room flats in the same timeframe. That is one five-room flat for every 14 four-room flats. The flats are spread out in Bidadari across three BTO projects: Alkaff Vista, Alkaff Oasis and Woodleigh Hillside. In response to queries from The Sunday Times about the limited supply of five-room BTO flats in the last five years, HDB said: "Land for new housing in these areas is limited. Hence, more four- room and smaller BTO flats are provided to allow more families to live closer to the city." In addition, around 500 five-room flats in the central region have been offered in the last five years under the Sale of Balance Flats exercises, Re-Offer of Balance Flats exercises and open booking of flats. They are located in Bukit Merah, Kallang/Whampoa, Queenstown and Toa Payoh, among others, said HDB. HDB said four-room flats, which come with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, remain the "mainstay" of HDB's BTO supply. They are typically 90 sq m in size. Five-room flats, which also come with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, are slightly larger at 110 sq m.

Fund or asset management companies are flocking here, with many said to be from Hong Kong due to concerns over a new security law, but it is Singapore's new Variable Capital Companies (VCC) regime that is the main appeal, a game changer for the fund management industry.
