Property investment sales rose 13 per cent between July and September to S$1.8 billion, compared to the previous quarter.

Investment sales in the residential sector for this quarter totalled S$958 million. These include the sale of 24 Good Class Bungalows and 47 landed properties worth above S$5 million each.
