It would be interesting if we could have statistics on:
-How many property owners are there?
-How many property owners want their property price to rise?
-How many non-property owner are waiting to buy?
-How many non-property owner who are waiting to buy want property to drop?
-Percentage of people wanting price to rise (especially current property owners) vs price to drop( especailly those waiting to buy)
-Overall Ideal price growth /drop per annum?
-Best vs Ideal property growth scenario
-Worst vs Ideal property drop scenario
If more CM cost drastic price drop, will it result in something similar to US sub-prime crisis? I wonder

COV exist because valuations can't keep up with the perceived value of the property based on the implied yield of the rental property.It is high time they look into the way a HDB is valued, what $&@€+ cov thing.
when yield was rubbish in 2002-3, people could buy hdb flats at below valuation prices.

I was very confused about ST report today...saying property up only 1%???
ipropertyguru
but it become a vicious cycle as the next valuation will be based on the previous valuation + cov. and it keep pile up!

That is my point.
A vicious cycle running at high speed as well. This means no meaningful correction, any correction is off the book, at the cov layer.
Can cov become negative?

actually, if you observe, valuations haven't moved much for hdb flats, even though their rentals have gone up quite a bit.

basically no direction...

Give each and every Singaporeans a free HDB. Ha then won't have any problem of rising HDB prices. Straight away HDB become zero in value
Senior
yeah, for people who projects like watertown at 1400psf, their price is up only 1%, correct ah. ha.
Junior
Point No 32 sounds interesting. Can it extend to all Singaporeans regardless of property ownership
Senior
Ask any Statistician and they will tell you "Statistics don’t lie, people do".
All this 1% rise, CPI 5 % ,inflation 3 % are from Statistics but when it is presented by people it became a different story.
June 2006 SGD 535000, June 2010 1,500,000, how much is the rise, you do the math. (QE1 & QE2 and operation twist).

It will be more of the same answer. We will build more, we will be vigilant and we will come in when the market is naughty.
