Check out the stellar performers in January's home sales

Bestseller was an 810-unit development.

According to Maybank Kim Eng, the bestseller for the month was the 810-unit La Fiesta, by unlisted developer EL Development. The developer had brought forward its launch date and extended sales hours the night before the cooling measures took effect, with many buyers rushing to beat the deadline. 

Maybank added that consequently, La Fiesta registered 404 units sold in January, at a median price of SGD1,163 psf. This was followed by Q Bay Residences, which was the first project to be launched post-cooling measures.

"With some clever marketing and reported discounts of up to 22%, Far East Organization (FEO) sold 372 units at the 630-unit project at a median price of SGD1,012 psf," Maybank said.
