THE market for new homes is quiet as most developers and potential buyers have taken time off for the year-end holidays.

'If you are going to sell one or two units now, you might as well close shop and wait till next year,' said Cushman & Wakefield managing director Donald Han.

'Salespeople and consultants have worked very hard this year. So, to be fair, they need a break.'

But for those potential buyers itching to check out new projects, a fair number of showflats are still open. These are mostly projects launched in recent months.

A list compiled by property consultancy Knight Frank shows there are at least 35 showflats staying open this month.

Those keen on mass-market projects can check out Waterfront Key in Bedok Reservoir, Livia in Pasir Ris, Double Bay Residences in Simei and Trevista in Toa Payoh.
