The market for new homes is quiet, as potential buyers and developers take their time off for the holidays.

“If you are going to sell one or two units now, you might as well close shop and wait till next year,” said Donald Han, managing director of Cushman & Wakefield. “Salespeople and consultants have worked very hard this year. So, to be fair, they need a break.”

However, potential buyers who want to see new projects even during the end-year holidays can visit some showflats that remain open. These are the projects launched in recent months.

A list prepared by property consultancy firm Knight Frank shows that at least 35 showflats will be available for public viewing this holiday season.

Potential buyers looking for mass-market projects can visit Livia in Pasir Ris, Trevista in Toa Payoh, Waterfront Key in Bedok Reservoir and Double Bay Residences in Simei.

Meanwhile, for interested buyers of high-end homes, they can check out Reflections at Keppel Bay, or Cyan and Ferrell Residences in Bukit Timah Road. The showflat for St Regis Residences is also open this month, but viewing the place is by appointment only, said City Developments.
