RESALE prices of condominiums and private apartments in Singapore continued to accelerate last month surpassing the last peak in prices seen in January 2014, according to flash estimates from SRX Property on Tuesday.

Prices in February climbed 1.9 per cent from the previous month - higher than the 1.3 per cent month-on-month price rise seen in January, which was revised up from an earlier estimate of a 1 per cent increase.

February's resale prices were one per cent higher than the peak in January 2014 and 7.6 per cent higher than a year ago, said real estate portal SRX.

The price appreciation was seen across all locations. The core central region (CCR), rest of the central region (RCR), and outside central region (OCR) recorded month-on-month price increases of 1.5 per cent, 1.7 per cent, and 2.2 per cent respectively.

Compared to a year ago, CCR, RCR, and OCR recorded price increases of 6.2 per cent, 11 per cent, and 6.2 per cent respectively.
