This is great... an Anonymous poster found a new website that takes care of all that tedious data collection and presents it in a clear and easy to read way.

Thank you Anonymous!
As pointed out by another Anonymous comment: the data for TC seems a bit off
There is no way that 70% of units are owned by Companies in TC.
The last time I downloaded such data was last year and here it is:
Because TC was privatised in 2002, there is no data on ownership prior to that date. So I am assuming that because there is missing data on the Realis books- they label them company? The data is only for those units that changed hands since 2002. And since 2002, NO COMPANY has bought a unit.
REPLY FROM SQUAREFOOT ( and I didn't even email them)
Hi!
I am from square foot. Thanks for highlighting the unusually
large percentage of company purchases for Tampines Court. I just
checked. The caveat for Far East / Frasers 07's en bloc purchase remains
in Realis although it didn't succeed, hence the error in breakdown. The
breakdown is based on number of units so you can imagine the weight
that the failed en bloc transaction carries. I've amended our data. See http://www.squarefoot.com.sg/trends-and-analysis/residential?p=tampines-court
The updated breakdown is Singaporean 207, PR 19, Foreigner 6
Hope you find the website useful!
Thank you, Sir. Your website is excellent.
However, your updated TC data is still not quite there...
As I said before, the data only goes as far back as 2002 and only 41% of units are reported in Realis. 207 Singaporean buyers may represent 89.2% out of the 232 in the data.... but there are 560 units in total in TC.
The correct percentages should therefore be:
Singaporean: 36.96%
PR: 3.39%
Foreigner: 1.07%
Unknown: 58.57%
There is not much you can do about that, we are a hybrid HDB/PRIVATE creation, there are only a handful of us ex-HUDC's out there..
