Singapore home sales jump, defying Asia property weakness


SINGAPORE: While Asian housing markets from Hong Kong to Bangkok buckle under the outbreak of coronavirus, Singapore seems to be holding up, at least for now.

Sales in the city-state jumped 57% to 975 units in February, from 620 in January, according to Urban Redevelopment Authority data released Monday. It’s the highest February total since 2017, when 979 apartments were sold.
