Here’s more from Knight Frank:
An increase in retail and shophouse listings contributed largely to the overall growth in listings in Q3 2022, with retail listings increasing 45.8% q-o-q to 35 listings. Also, shophouse listings soared some 600.0% q-o-q to seven in the same period from the sole listing in Q2 2022.
Success rates remained positive at 6.9% in Q3 2022 as a total of nine properties were knocked down representing a gross sales value of S$18.9 million. In comparison to Q2 2022, transactions via an auction sale declined from 12 to nine. Nevertheless, eight out of the nine were new listings, showing the overall efficacy of a property sale through the auction process.
