There were only a few misstep...Enough of Hollywood. There were only a few missteps in Danny Brocklehurst's otherwise impeccable script for last night's denouement.<br />Nobody familiar with the grammar of the psychological thriller would ever agree to return <br />tomorrow when a character promises to divulge a key piece of the narrative jigsaw.<br />Because The Speaker Won't Be Alive Tomorrow. And yet the cynical reporter got suckered. Singapore Price index for non-landed private homes up 2.6%. Latest flash estimates from the National University of Singapore show that its overall price index for non-landed private homes rose 2.6 per cent in May over the preceding month. Since the end of last year, the index has appreciated 8.6 per cent. The Singapore Residential Price Index SRPI, compiled by the NUS Institute of Real Estate Studies, covers only completed properties. The sub-index for the central region, which covers a basket of properties in postal districts 1-4 and 9-11, grew 2.5 per cent in May over the preceding month, and 7.9 per cent year to date. The sub-index for non-Central region rose at a slightly faster clip, of 2.6 per cent month-on-month in May and 9.1 per cent year to date.

The market is expected to enter a consolidation phase, marked by slower sales as developers try their best to maintain prices and potential buyers hold back their purchases, hoping for price cuts. The developers are estimated to have sold 8,300 units in the first half of this year. They sold 14,688 new homes for the whole of last year. Despite the stronger increase in the central region, the flash estimate index for May for the location was still 3.7 per cent shy of the pre-financial crisis peak in November 2007. In contrast, for the non-central region, the latest index has already exceeded its respective January 2008 pre-crisis peak by 11.1 per cent. As a result, the overall SRPI flash estimate index for May is 5.5 per cent above its November 2007 high.<br /><br />Here is my web blog; <a href="http://successwith-anthony.net" rel="nofollow">successwith-anthony.net</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
