Weekly home sales improve in Shanghai

SALES of residential properties from low- to mid-class apartments to luxury ones rose in Shanghai last week.

The purchases of new homes, excluding government-funded affordable housing, jumped 31.1 percent from a week earlier to 200,800 square meters in the city during the seven days ended on Sunday, said a report released yesterday by Shanghai Deovolente Realty Co.

"An overall recovery in the residential market helped push up weekly sales to the highest since April," said Lu Qilin, a researcher at Deovolente.

"The significant growth in transaction of luxury houses also led to an increase in the average price," Lu added.

A residential project in outlying Qingpu District sold 193 apartments last week at an average price of 11,151 yuan (US$1,770) per square meter, topping all other developments around the city.

Meanwhile, Shanghai Arch, a Sun Hung Kai Properties development in Pudong New Area, sold seven units last week at an average price of more than 110,000 yuan per square meter, becoming the best-selling luxury project in the city, according to Deovolente.

Thirty-five luxury homes costing above 50,000 yuan per square meter were sold in the city last week, up from 15 units sealed the previous week.
