    JANUARY's new private-home sales rose 32 per cent to 1,609 over December's 1,217, on the back of launches of a few mega projects, pulling up prices further.

    The bulk of January's buyers were locals, but the number of foreign buyers - although small in absolute terms - also rose sharply amid low interest rates and abundant liquidity.
