RESIDENTIAL projects slated for launch in the next couple of weeks appear likely to go ahead as planned for now. However, visitorship to showflats and transaction volumes could decrease amid concerns about the coronavirus outbreak, analysts say.
Alan Cheong, Savills' executive director (research & consultancy), expects developers to continue to launch as planned. "Otherwise, you will have bunching up. Already without the virus, sales have been slow," he points out. However, he reckons that developers could scale down the size of the launch by reducing the number of units released for sale.
