    IN SPITE of the economic damage wrought by Covid-19, Singapore's Good Class Bungalow (GCB) market had a stellar 2020 with transaction value up 35 per cent from a year ago to S$1.05 billion. Market watchers expect positive momentum to carry through this year.

    As it is, caveats have been lodged for 11 GCBs worth S$302 million between Jan 1 and Feb 1 this year, data from List Sotheby International Realty showed.
