According to Colliers International, launch volume in the Outer Central Region (OCR) fell sharply as developers released only 763 units.

The dearth in new releases, particularly major project launches saw the market share of launch and sales in the OCR falling from 67.4% and 64.9% in March 2013 to 65.9% and 52.9%, respectively in April.

Mainly mid- to small- scale projects were debuted in the OCR. These include the 160-unit Midtown Residences which is part of a mixed residential/retail development in Hougang (51 units sold) and the 130-unit E Maison (19 units sold), both of which are fully launched, as well as the 171-unit Jade Residences (79 units sold out of 100 units launched), the 36-unit Garden Park Residences (8 units sold out of 36 units launched) and the 27-unit Charlton 27 (3 units sold out of 27 units launched). Notably, the 48-unit mixed development Spazio@Kovan is fully sold within the month.

With limited new launches, homebuyers looked to previously launched projects such as D-nest and Urban Vista, which further sold 92 and 73 units respectively.
