Is There Really a Glut of Unsold New Homes? Yes — In a Handful of Districts.

Singapore has around 34,000 unsold new private homes — developers’ stock, not resale. The figure is official, it is in every property headline this year, and it sounds like a warning about whatever you are viewing this weekend. It is also a national figure, and nobody buys the nation. We added up where the unsold stock actually sits, district by district — and it is nowhere near evenly spread. Three districts hold more than a third of it. Five have no active launch at all.
