OrangeTee noted that demand for public and private properties has been rising and listings for both new launches and resale flats are being snapped up on the same day. Buyers are more willing to spend on bigger but older flats due to work-from-home requirements. According to OrangeTee, more than 14,000 resale HDB flats changed hands in 1H21. Prices increased 6% over that period and are just 2% below the peak in 2Q13. Total HDB resales could hit 27,000-29,000 units this year (vs. 24,748 units in 2020 and 23,714 in 2019), while prices of resale flats may rise by 9-11% for the whole of 2021. Meanwhile, a total of 8,449 private homes, including new launches and resale units, were sold in 2Q21, up 4.3% QoQ. Overall home prices may rise by 6-9% this year, possibly driven by resale volumes.</p>
