2011 - 2012= 8000+ units
2013-2014= 17000+ units
Will there be over supply?
If there is indeed an over supply then prices will come down, or else it will not... Can all forummers share...

i cant remember any px correction due to oversupply......Originally Posted by CCR
Because the oversupply hasn't come yet - and developers keep delaying their projects. I believe from 2012 onwards. There are already projects that are going to TOP quite empty...
17k supply will it make MBT 22K HDB supply in a year look impressive?
Prices will not come down if there is oversupply as developers have holding power and interest rates are low. Take The Interlace as an example. Since launch with 900 units, only 653 units have been sold (72.5%, which is no good by today's standard which is overall 90% of units launched have been sold). This is a mini-oversupply situation in the project as there appears to be no takers. But, the developer is not lowering prices anytime soon. As of Mar 11, the total units launched but unsold stands at about 5,000. Certainly a bit of oversupply situation. But, you do not see the developers sweating and lowering prices.Originally Posted by CCR
with 6.5 million populations, what is 10 or 20k supply, definitely not enuff, need around 1-2million additional supply to house 6.5million..
Interlace is not a gd example. 70% is very good. The best stacks are *really* not launched yet. They are waiting for the structure to take shape 1st and sell at a higher price.
I am predicting 50 to 70k increase in sin population a year till we reach 6.5m... Based on 60k a year we will take at least 15 years to reach the target so I think that is conservative enough... Plus with all the new development at paya lebar, one north, juromg lake district, marina bay area, I am sure we need more people to fill these buildings.... I read a report that there are currently over 40k job vacancies in Singapore and expected to increase with the economy growing....
So I think even at 17k completed projects not too many right? I don't understand why URA and MND keep saying that there is a huge pipelines...
The point is price correction downward usually does not come about due to oversupply. Should there be that 1 or 2 developers who cannot hold their properties and so lower their prices, there are another 10 developers with holding power so prices are unlikely to move downward. Duing the 2005/6 HDB oversupply, prices stood firm in the private sector. Only HDB prices dropped a little but after that shot up very quickly too...
Then why is MND and URA and other analyst keep warning about oversupply when it TOP? They are afraid that there will be empty units?
At 60K annual increase to the population, how many are going to buy or rent whole unit??? Consider say 20k are foreigners coming here to study so probably will rent single room or stay in hostel, that leaves us with 40k who'll rent or buy whole unit. Given this 40k, some are foreigners who will share resources to buy or rent, so only about 30k units are required each year. At 22k HDB supply plus 8k private supply will just about be enough for 2013. If at 17k private supply, it'll be trouble...Originally Posted by CCR
All these analysts are not good economists. When the workers are able to get higher wages ... that is when high inflation become self-sustaining. This is exactly the argument in the UK/US that imported inflation will not last there due to high unemployment. But it is very different situation in Asia.
So are Singaporeans getting significantly higher pay last few months, answer is a BIG YES.
When inflation expectation becomes high, it takes very high oversupply situation to moderate it (not even crashing it).
Ride at your own risk !!!
Sorry, there is a loop hole in the interpretation. 22k BOT\DBSS is 3yrs + 5 yrs MOP. the supply only hits in 8 years time, 2019. For now only left with 17k minus enbloc.Originally Posted by ysyap
The increase in population have to come from foreigners... As the first time buyers are already calculated in current population... Can't possibly appear out of no where unless they are Singaporean already here...Originally Posted by ysyap
The supply overhang will provide the opportunity for the market to consolidate like 1998-2003. I prefer that. At least you don't end up chasing prices and shadows.
Noticed they say oversupply,but never mention price will come down? It is left to our own deduction. Or too many factors at play here.Originally Posted by CCR
in 2007, analyst aso keep mentioning oversupply in 2010 onwards
pte ppty is sentiment driven....no way to forecast sentiment
as for HDB supply....is by BTO....so how to have oversupply?
If it's oversupply then sentiments will drop if no one to rent from you... So if really over supply then price will drop.... Anyone here agree with URA that there will be over supply? Btw, good point on the fact that bto cannot have oversupply
now clearly got oversupply in luxury prime homes....so many unsold units from developer!.....but prices din drop! rent for luxury homes r below 3% in general and some even below 2%....sentiment still gd....massive liquidity...owners just hold on tight.....SC global aso holdX3!Originally Posted by CCR
oversupply but if interest rates are low, minimal rent or even no rent also buyers can hold on. there is no way of determining how many units need rental to cover and how many can be left vacant.

It is Ok when time is good and they can rent out 1 of their property while living in the other but wait till next recession and these mass market condo renters, who are mid-to-lower management level will be retrench, many go home, many empty mass market condos with non-renting, then you see whether oversupply in luxury prime homes or oversupply in mass market properties? As I said, there are just too much speculation now in mass market condos!

lots of assumption lor...Originally Posted by teddybear
i am stating the current situation of luxury prime ppty lor.....OCR currently dun hf oversupply problem NOW as rental still gg strong....future who noes rite....u and I r not GOD lor...
With so many mass-market owners owning 2 or more properties, the future is already cast in STONE, it is just a matter of time, I am not god because I cannot predict WHEN and HOW bad but I can already estimate WHAT will happen based on the raw data.......

The 6.5million population target includes both Singapreans and foreigners. Therefore 60k annual increment includes both Singapreans and foreigners. . So if exclude Singaporeans, then it'll just be 30k annual increment coz Singapore's annual birth rate is about 30k to 35k. Next year might be more.Originally Posted by CCR
This is the first time I see you so *bearish* but I share the MMs and condos oversupply view. MM rentals are the most vulnerable because many foreign workers may rent 1 room from HDB owners (which is of no issue to HDB) instead of studio or 1 bedder MM.Originally Posted by teddybear
Agreed... also those in the construction sector will be housed 40 per landed property. Those in domestic help will stay together with their bosses. MM are mainly for singles expats and overseas students.Originally Posted by hyenergix
They would have to be RICH overseas students.Originally Posted by ysyap
Remember those MM units would have to be in good location to be easily rentable to either of these groups. Those in CMI locations may have great difficulty getting tenants. Esp if it's a big development where other MM units also vie for the same tenants.
I don't understand why there are still quite a number of forum members who declare confidently that they are not afraid of competition for tenants. This is a very real fact that must be faced. Unless of course servicing the housling loan is not an issue for them.
Simple analysis:
Let say a MM cost 500k, so 60% ltv means 300k loan...
Stanchart allow u to borrow up to 75yo.... So majority shd b able to take 30yr tenure. Based on worse case 4% int rate: mthly installment= about 1.5k
Currently, condo room rental range from 800-1200.....so during crisis i believe mm rental cud possibly drop to 1-1.2k. So including maint fee etc, owner goto top up 1k every mth.....
make sure u got at least 24k spare cash to ride thru ....
