PRIVATE home prices in Singapore could climb again this year as a recovering economy lifts sentiment after the private residential property index shrugged off the impact of a global pandemic to clock a 2.2 per cent gain in 2020.

In 2019, the private residential property index grew by 2.7 per cent.
