Private home sales rise 13 percent in November

Dec 15, 2011 - PropertyGuru.com.sg


BREAKING NEWS - Despite fears that Singapore's property market could slide after the government launched a harsh round of cooling measures last week, data from the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) shows that the market is still very robust.

In November, the total number of private housing units transacted climbed to 1,854, a 13 percent rise from 1,638 in October.

Excluding executive condominiums (ECs), the sales volume reached 1,701, a 23 percent climb from October.

According to Tejaswi Chunduri, real estate analyst at PropertyGuru, "The hike in total sales volume can be attributed to a huge 48 percent rise in the number of new launches by developers last month".

Chunduri added that the total number of new units launched reached a healthy 1,979, compared to 1,338 in October. This could indicate a trend among developers rushing to launch new projects before any uncertainty hits the market as a result of the new measures and current economic conditions.

The costliest unit sold for the month came from The Marq On Paterson Hill, at a whopping price of S$6,841 psf. Meanwhile, 11 high-end units at Scotts Square, located along Scotts Road, were sold at a median price of S$4,333 psf.

In total, 77 units were sold at a median price of above S$2,000 psf, of which 44 transacted at a median price of above S$3,000 psf.

this is the period of observation...close observation. recent observations after CM5(outside City): most buyers are holding price tight tight..no going down in price and with option to rent coupled with most important shield : low interest rate...:o

It is the CCR pricing we should pay attention ;) if any selling pressure, it is going to be top down but again HDB upgraders prefer to buy OCR @ 1500psf who is going to stop them?

Previous CM only turned everybody's speculative horizion to 4y :spliff2:Plus setting aside more cash to meet the 60% LTV. Coupled with the latest CM, property investors are basically :samurai-killa:.

If price continues to go up for new launch esp out of city location where most buyers are locals in the next few months down the road...may see CM6 rises its ugly head...

this is possible as CM5 is mainly targeted at Foreigners, although this decreases number of buyers out there but for those out of city location, the low interest rate and able to own 2 for locals w/o penalty may limit the price drop to a certain extent ..:o now seeing sellers holding the price tight tight with slight price reduction only due to low interest and option to rent...observation period now till next year see how CM5 will affect the price esp out of city location...

-- think watertown's equidistant between this site and a treasure trove.

SINGAPORE : A Government Land Sales site in Punggol has received a top bid of $206.2 million.

The public tender closed on Thursday with 13 bids received.

Wee Hur Development is the top bidder for the Punggol Central site.

Opal Star put in a bid of $200.88 million and Lum Chang Building Contractors, $198.42 million.

This is the first condominium site tender to close since the latest property cooling measures were announced on 7th December.

Nicholas Mak of SLP International Property Consultants notes that Wee Hur's bid is 13.2 percent lower than a nearby sold in 2010.

He says the bid reflects an increased level of caution, mainly due to the perception of higher risk in 2012.

Death knell won't be more than $300 psf ppr. After factoring $300psf construction cost, their cost is still $650psf. Plus 25% margin, still works out to be $812.5psf.

Commercial & Industrial land also saw some moderation in land bid price compared to adj. plot started a few months ago. It is not becoz of CM5, but the global ecomony goin forward.

Dun be so pessimistic.

This firewall acts as a protection against "hot $$" expected to park here.

Every year, EDB have a tgt of more than $10 bil to acheive. Growing in areas like Pharma, oil & gas and the recent IRs & SAP (next phase).

Also business parks like MBFD,CBP, IBP, JLD etc

Not much land left liao.

Tengah, Simpang, Bukit Brown, Baddari (small) & Mandai.

After SAP, what's next? Govt also need to cater land for other use.

Not only our hse is gettin smaller, look at the size of school field, or some even dun have.
