December is usually one of the slowest months in terms of housing resale figures in any case. This year that has definitely been the case for Singland Homes Clementi Ave 1 Condo. There was a 4.3% drop from November to December yet that could have been worth if buyers were not turning to resale properties instead of new builds.

In the last few years the economy of Singapore has been so depressed that the country’s property Singapore Land Singland Homes developers have got involved in construction abroad simply to earn the money they needed to keep afloat. There was not enough money at home to carry out building projects, and it was really difficult to sell the properties they had built.
