    Are you holding any property?

    What is your property price 10 years ago and now?

    This should answer your question.

    For those who know the facts and figures which is provided by the government they know Singaporean very rich.

    But to those who like to AssUme they will compare among themselves and conclude property price too high and Singaporean cannot afford.

    What are these facts and figures? Current or outdated? If you don't like people to assume, then you need to state clearly, instead of acting like some ancient guru sitting on top of a mountain. Who are you trying to impress?

    Btw, govt also provided facts and figures for economy and unemployment after the effects of Covid-19.

    Domino effect will ripple thru the large middle class of Singapore. And this is the socioeconomic segment at which these mass market condos are targeted.

    There is evidence based on STI and private property have correlation.
    If you use all the data price points released by URA (pte property including landed) from the 90s and plot it to today.
    And superimpose the STI benchmark data, you will realise 2 things.
    1) private property and HDB prices have strong correlation. (0.8+)
    2) STI index and private property have some correlation. (0.9+)
    Note: Using Pearson Correlation Co-efficient of -1 to 1 range where 1 is the highest or the strongest correlation.
    Source: REITs Screener

    In layman terms, there is a lagging effect of the pte property prices against the STI index by up to 6-9 months.
    In short, if we see the bottom of the STI index say this year in Nov. By 2021, mid year, you will see a price correction.

    Thanks to the government budget measures and the loan relief by banks, there is not much effect on job security and property market as of now. The effect will come if things don't improve after the relief measures are gone. Unlike the last recession in 2008, this time is highly calibrated by the governments of the world to strike a balance between economic activity and preventing the virus spreading.

    Most probably will be a gradual decline in price or a stagnation for some time.

    Having 60% of my wealth in hard assets, I cannot say I feel completely fine with what is going on.
    1) Will my tenant ask for rental reversions during their tenancy period now to next year.
    2) Existing just completed ones like PPR for me, what is the asking rental rate today. Seems like a race to the bottom. Some key collection are stuck but you got to pay maintenance regardless.
    3) Loan refinancing due to interest rate cuts to reduce outlay. I refinanced 2 of my properties these 2 months. Reduction of 0.5 to 0.7% in interest PA.
    4) Not looking at liquidating anything yet coz we know prices will take a beating and its coming in the next 2-3 quarters.
    Monetary policy will run out of ammo with each passing day. Even Fed Powell hinted on Congress to put in fiscal policy moves (13th May 2020).
    I do not believe in negative interest rates just as I do not believe in unlimited QE, it has to stop at some point.
    5) REITs and other dividend investment not drawing that attractive yields due to dividend cuts and re-basing.

    Locally, my personal view is that with CMs, this is actually saving some of us from over gearing before this CV-19 crisis but that does not put us all away from the meltdown. It just puts a longer distance towards the pit. If businesses do not do well (not sure you guys run essential businesses, I don't), one of these properties will have to go. I hope this is not the case but with crisis come opportunity. Things are at a bargain (not stocks, not yet) if you wait a little longer. Hopefully not one of mine.

    All the best,

    Question here is property back to the price in 2009/ 2010
    https://data.gov.sg/dataset/private-...pe-of-property

    There was a short crash with V-recovery then. So, if you are asking about the bottom of 2009, the answer is NO.
    A few of us managed to catch the bottom that time... $600 - 700 psf in D15 brand new freehold (now there is MRT coming just next to it). There is no way you can get that anymore.

    There are many reasons, lazy to explain since not asked

    Agree there was a correlation before 2009 but after 2009 the correlation no more applies.

    Are you referring to the correlation till 2009 and use it to apply to 2021.

    1) Will my tenant ask for rental reversions during their tenancy period now to next year.
    Same apply to tenant when they got their income increase will they increase the rental

    2) Existing just completed ones like PPR for me, what is the asking rental rate today. It seems like a race to the bottom. Some key collection is stuck but you got to pay maintenance regardless.
    Defer and repricing or refinance will help reduce the pressure.

    3) Loan refinancing due to interest rate cuts to reduce outlay. I refinanced 2 of my properties these 2 months. Reduction of 0.5 to 0.7% in interest PA.
    Interest rate will be low for a few years

    4) Not looking at liquidating anything yet coz we know prices will take a beating and its coming in the next 2-3 quarters.
    Monetary policy will run out of ammo QE unlimitedwith each passing day. Even Fed Powell hinted on Congress to put in fiscal policy moves (13th May 2020).
    I do not believe in negative interest rates just as I do not believe in unlimited QE, it has to stop at some point.since 1973 the creation of fiat money there is no turning back
    5) REITs and other dividend investment not drawing that attractive yields due to dividend cuts and re-basing.

    With this announcement, “the government has shown it is ready to step in with measures, albeit temporary, to ease any potential turbulence and to help investors and developers who may be facing hardships”, says Leong. “Perhaps more could be done to help, but the unprecedented liquidity in the market and low-interest-rate environment that we are in right now will be points of consideration for the government with regard to whether cooling measures will be eased,” he adds.

    If you cannot buy that does not mean all Singaporeans also cannot buy. Same goes to if you need to sell that does not mean all Singaporean need to sell.

    Hope you are young enough to see the price to come down, I don't think I can see for the next 30 years.

    Steve if price would drop back to 10 years ago. It will be a chaos from the whole market!!! Not possible! My opinion is always start to invest early at your affordability.

    Singapore will soon be the ONLY Pan-Asian Financial Centre, after HK is destroyed.

    Just consider that.

    You can use HK property prices before the turmoil, as a gauge.

    think as long as you buy within what you can afford is the safest, no need to be afraid if market trend down after you bought

    you may refer back to Sars period, how did prices fare? But in my opinion, if you holding a 99 years property and reaching 20+ years, best to sell fast!
