    THE volume of transactions in Good Class Bungalow (GCB) areas next year is expected to be about the same as this year, amid a widening price gap between buyers and sellers.

    So far this year, there have been 43 deals in GCB areas totalling S$1.16 billion, based on the analysis of URA Realis caveats data downloaded on Dec 13 by List Sotheby’s International Realty (List SIR). (The latest transaction was dated Nov 18.)

    This marks a sharp fall from the 90 transactions amounting to S$2.57 billion last year.
