ROBUST sales of villas propelled new home transactions in Shanghai to the highest in two months last week, according to latest market data.
The purchases of new homes, excluding government-funded affordable housing, rose 15.5 percent from the previous seven-day period to 214,300 square meters, Shanghai Deovolente Realty Co said in a report released yesterday.
"The weekly volume was the highest in about two months, mainly propelled by notably improving sentiment in the mid- to high-end segment," said Lu Qilin, a researcher at Deovolente.
"Though the local residential market is still dominated by budget-conscious first-time buyers, the number of home seekers looking to upgrade has picked up quite notably," Lu said.
A total of 238 villas were sold in the city last week, a weekly surge of 89 percent. That was also the highest weekly volume so far this year, according to Century 21 China Real Estate.
A villa development in north Shanghai's Baoshan District became the city's best-selling residential project last week when it sold 133 units during the period for an average of nearly 20,000 yuan (US$3,164) per square meter.
