Singapore Home Sales in April More Than Double From Year Ago

Singapore home sales more than doubled in April from a year earlier as homebuyer sentiment rallied after the government rolled back some property curbs following a three-year slide in prices.

Developers sold 1,555 units in April, compared with 750 units in the same period last year, according to data released Monday by the Urban Redevelopment Authority. A total of 1,616 units were offered, higher than the 1,527 units in March, when Singapore notched the highest monthly home sales in four years.
