There is a total of 72,501 landed homes (including terraces, semi-detached and detached houses and good class bungalows in Singapore as at 3Q2016, compared with 293,548 non-landed homes, excluding HDB units.
Should it be "are" instead?
Thanks!
@tanguatlay,
No. The subject of is is "total". This is sigular.
@maxdancona,
you could also say "the total of landed homes in Singapore IS..." as Max said IS modifies TOTAL, not the houses
