賣方堅持要價，買方花時間評估期權，導致2024年前九個月私人住宅銷售額同比下降1.3%（900萬 2024），據高詩曼與韋博仲達數據。

Prices, however, declined by 0.7% QoQ in Q3, marking the biggest quarterly drop since Q1 2020, when prices fell 1%, OrangeTee reported.
然而，據OrangeTee報告，Q3的房價環比下降了0.7%，創下自2020年Q1以來的最大季度跌幅，當時價格下跌了1%。
While prices rose 1.6% in the first three quarters of 2024, OrangeTee said this growth was significantly slower than the 3.9% increase in the same period in 2023 and 8.2% growth in the first three quarters of 2022.
雖然2024年前三季度房價上漲了1.6%，但OrangeTee表示，這一增長速度明顯慢於2023年同期的3.9%增幅，以及2022年前三季度的8.2%增長。
Cushman and Wakefield expect private home prices to grow by 1%-4% in 2024, driven by resilient upgrading demand amid low unemployment and strong household balance sheets.
Cushman and Wakefield預計2024年私人住宅價格將增長1%-4%，受到低失業率和穩健家庭資產負債表支持需求的推動。
Knight Frank, meanwhile, expects private home prices to close in 2024 at the lower end of its 3% to 5% projection.
與此同時，Knight Frank預計2024年私人住宅價格將在其3%至5%的預期下限收尾。
"With a few months remaining in 2024, developers could launch anticipated projects that may drive the index back into positive territory," said Knight Frank.
「2024年還剩幾個月，開發商可能推出備受期待的項目，可能推動指數重返正面區域，」Knight Frank表示。
These new projects, including Norwood Grand, Chuan Park, Emerald of Katong, Nava Grove, and Union Square Residences, could also boost private home transactions in the last quarter of the year, said OrangeTee.
包括Norwood Grand、Chuan Park、Katong之翡翠、Nava Grove和Union Square Residences在內的這些新項目，可能還會推動今年最後一個季度的私人住宅交易量，OrangeTee表示。
"These large suburban developments will provide more housing options for buyers. Sales volume for new homes is expected to rise in the second half of 2024, exceeding the first half. The new project launches may also impact the secondary market, as some buyers may consider nearby lower-priced resale homes," OrangeTee added.
「這些大型郊區開發項目將爲購房者提供更多住房選擇。預計2024年下半年新房銷售量將上升，超過上半年。新項目的推出也可能影響二手房市場，因爲一些購房者可能會考慮附近定價較低的二手房，」OrangeTee補充道。
