Higher GCB prices despite fewer sales
Depleted supply of bungalows keeps prices firm even as transactions fall to 10-year low
Singapore

Barring shocks to the economy, GCB prices will hold firm in 2015 due to the lack of supply and the fact that the GCB market "caters to a very stratified layer of the privileged few", says Savills Singapore research head Alan Cheong.
