URA launches iPhone/iPad application for property market information

"Property Market Information, Singapore" aims to enhance the transparency of the property market, said URA.

This new service will empower home-buyers with accurate and comprehensive information on private housing projects and encourage them to look at all available market information before making a purchase decision.

At the same time, the URA has also enhanced its Property Market Information eServices on the URA website to provide more information and greater convenience to users.

The new application is downloadable from the Apple's App Store in iTunes.

“Property Market Information, Singapore” Application

The new ”Property Market Information, Singapore” iPhone/iPad application will allow members of the public easy access to the following property market information on the go:

a) transaction prices for different private housing projects by project name, street name and district;

b) rentals for different private housing projects by project name, street name and district; and

c) the above information on transaction prices and rentals will be available on a map-base, e.g. users can see the prices of all private residential units transacted in a particular area or within a certain radius of a showflat on a map.

Home-buyers and those looking to rent a private residential property can compare and consider carefully prices and rentals across different properties before making a commitment.

To ensure greater public outreach and access to this property market information service, the URA has plans to make the same application available on Android phones in the 4th quarter of this year.
