    Private property market prices in Singapore may be levelling off at a new support level after five years of cooling measures that have been very effective at stalling the market.

    However, it appears the effectiveness of the measures has levelled off. Barring major catastrophes such as war, epidemics or financial crises, private property prices are expected to hold up, unless more resale supply is introduced or the Government removes the cooling measures.

    Private property market prices in Singapore may be levelling off at a new support level after five years of cooling measures that have been very effective at stalling the market.

    However, it appears the effectiveness of the measures has levelled off. Barring major catastrophes such as war, epidemics or financial crises, private property prices are expected to hold up, unless more resale supply is introduced or the Government removes the cooling measures.

    According to SRX Property, the market transacted an estimated 468 units last month. This is down 77.2 per cent from the peak of 2,050 units sold in April 2010.

    Prices, on the other hand, have dropped a mere 5.6 per cent since the market�s monthly peak in January 2014, based on the SRX Price Index.

    There are three signs that it is going to be difficult for the cooling measures to pull prices down further.

    The first half of this year was rough for the private resale market, with the SRX Price Index dropping rather dramatically from 178.8 in January to 170.2 in June.

    However, since June, the index has found a plateau in the 168 to 170 range. This suggests the market has come to terms with the impact of the Total Debt Servicing Ratio (TDSR).

    Until the TDSR, private resale prices would not come down. They finally capitulated at the beginning of the year. But now, it seems the market may have found a price equilibrium under the new TDSR regime.

    Second, market sentiment, as measured by the median Transaction-Over-X Value (T-O-X) has improved in the past few months. T-O-X measures the actual transaction prices over the computer-generated X-Value of each unit in Singapore.

    Last month, the national median T-O-X was negative S$2,000, which means the average buyer was paying only S$2,000 below the computer-generated X-Value. This is a big improvement over the negative S$20,000 in March and July.

    In other words, fewer people are paying significantly below the computer-generated X-Value. This means less downward pressure on prices.

    Third, volume is down significantly and has been consistently in the mid-400-unit range. There is not much more room for volume and, hence, prices to drop.

    The cooling measures, in particular those impacting the TDSR, have been quite effective at discouraging people from putting homes on the market.

    While bargain hunters and those unaffected by the cooling measures are delighted to buy today, sellers are not as inclined to sell. They have been sitting on the sidelines, waiting for prices to rebound before putting their properties on the market.

    Unless a new round of resale supply comes onto the market or there is an external shock that causes a sell-off, it will be difficult for the market to drop much further, given the low stock of homes for sale each month.

    PROPERTY prices in Singapore have not seen a "meaningful correction" yet, said Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam on Tuesday.

    "We've seen some correction in both�private property pricesand�HDB resale prices�over the last four to five quarters, but there is some distance to go in achieving a meaningful correction after the sharp run-up in prices in recent years," said the chairman of the Monetary Authority of Singapore at the Credit Counselling Singapore's 10th anniversary luncheon.

    "If we do not get a meaningful reversal after each upswing, property prices will run ahead of the growth in household incomes in the long term. And that, we must avoid."

    prices have dropped but in small volume... my contrarian view is the current situation is v similar to 2008 - 2009, where prices did drop but in small volume, therein lies the opportunity for a good buy. ive detected some already n gona view them. in fact sentosa big units r seriously hit, many foreigners offloading but no buyers...

    If you hv detected some, then its good.
    There will still be genuine sellers who know that they must discount 10% off current to get a sale done.
    Keep a lookout for those.

    The biggest difference between now and 2009 is that people are already heavy property in their port now.
    The buying pressure is much lower than the selling pressure.

    In 2008/2009 many people were clean as a whistle.
    Like myself i sold off two properties in 2007 and 2008 leaving the roof over my head in 2009.
    I hv done the same last year, selling at record high price, now leaving just the roof over my head
    But the masses are instead heavy laden with debt today.

    We are not tycoons, if dont reload , how to shoot.
    Some people wait until completely no bullets then they reload.
    By that time everybody is reloading, so got not enough bullets to go around.

    I hv reloaded, have you?

    All the best, bro.

    The buyer decided not to exercise the option, he wanted to move in after the tenancy expired but wasn't happy that the TA had the a clause for the tenant to extend for 1 year at market rate. My tenant don't want to legally waive that out and I don't wanna force him so it fell thru.

    Not sure which part of the "buying with tenancy" did he not understand. TMD waste my time, some more there was another interested buyer �around the same time but now run road liao.

    Next time I have to include in the TA a waiver to the extension option if the property is sold.

    Very heng you hit gian png buyer, (i hit one too after waiting 9 mths last yr) , care to share location, site, price , psf, etc?

    Buying with tenancy just means you have a tenant (for however number of months the agreement has left) but if you failed to disclose at the start�that the agreement has an additional clause for extension then how will the buyer know about it? If you did not disclose the extension clause then I feel that you have been deceitful and wasted the buyers time (disclaimer, if you did disclose it beforehand then it is obviously his fault).

    By the way, you could have asked the tenant how much $ he wanted from you to give a waiver for that clause.

    Firstly its for the agent to explain the terms of the sale not me, I was too was concern that this was not clearly explained but the Option did clearly state it was sold with tenancy and subject to terms of the TA. It was even discussed during the house visit that the tenant may extend. The buyer likely didn't give it too much thought until he got the option and had a discussion with his friends.

    I bought properties with tenancy before and I always request and review necessary documents mentioned on the option before committing to anything (to the point of making sure the tenancy is stamped). Especially when its legal and requires me to put up cash upfront. I cannot fathom why people legally commit to something without making sure all their concerns are met.�

    My tenant is very decent chap, he would see offering money as buying him off and would really piss him off. He just didn't want to commit to anything legally since he wasn't obliged too and if he had to then he would need to consult his lawyer. But he also didn't see what the big deal was since it was a mutual agreement to extend pending the revise rental rates once the agreement expires.

    Point taken about the TA but I don't understand why your tenant would be offended.

    A tenancy agreement is a business transaction and so is a cancellation of the clause in it. Nothing much to do with whether he is a decent chap or not. I also don't see why he had to consult his lawyer - do you mean he also had a lawyer go thru the TA when he first signed it?

    Haha not sure how to put it but lets say he has a strong moral standing? But he is the best tenant I have, he would sometimes update me on issues around the estate not impacting him but as an fyi that the MA is not doing in the interest of the owners. He also helps resolve issues on the property which most tenants would demand the owner come down and rectify it immediately.

    The original TA was a standard one that he was familiar with, he is a family guy and he wasn't comfortable to put a legal waiver on any part of the contract would may jeopardize his occupancy. Its just one of those things some people feel uncomfortable with I guess.

    As a buyer i will request to go through TA.
    Its part of due diligence.
    Believing the agent wholeheartedly is the last thing anyone should do - seller or buyer.

    People usually dont give up option for such small reasons.
    Its not like the extension will definitely happen
    And if it should happen its in the buyers favor as rents are dropping.

    I know becos i also gave up exercising an option costing a high grade 1 carat diamond before.
    Reason being, i got a better unit at a price cheaper by a high grade 2 carat diamond. Haw haw.

    So my take is that he either found another unit cheaper or he realised that the price aint right as the market is coming off. So he give some half baked reason for not exercising.

    Bottomline is that the unit remains unsold at the price you wanted.
    Good luck.

Every agent has a varying TA template and yours is on the ball to have it included. Anyway as above since its a legal doc which I committed too its my fault for not vetting it properly.�

    That one reason why I posted my experience to, so others can note it down for future refence.

    I do believe he actually wanted to go thru with the deal, cause he arrange to speak to the tenant himself after we failed to convince him to sign the waiver. Guess he was really bothered by this option.

    My unit would be considered one of the cheapest one in district, and its very relatively to scgs. I would be ideal for someone looking to upgrade with a family I suppose. Anyway just another throw of the dice, I'll see how things pan out.

    hi gurus,

    regarding TDSR, if someone has no loans whatsoever, the TDSR is no applicable to them correct? or does the 60% rule applies if one has >= $0 loans?

    I checked other TA I have and it not a clause that typically, I am not defending the agent but I don't think its something normally inserted in the TA. Every agent has a varying TA template and yours is on the ball to have it included. Anyway as above since its a legal doc which I committed too its my fault for not vetting it properly.�

    That one reason why I posted my experience to, so others can note it down for future refence.

    Yeah, probably not applicable to MCF folks becos i understand, most people here in recent years change to full settlement in cash instead of loans.

    Then again not applicable in the past as well becos people seem very comfortable buying a car which is priced the same quantum as their annual salary.
    This inevitably means at least $1,500 for car loans.

    By BUSINESS TIMES

    THE Marina One investment by Khazanah Nasional Bhd and Temasek Holdings is off to a good start, ahead of its public launch on Saturday.

    Its units, which are priced from RM1.4 million onwards, have been oversubscribed by 20 times.

    The integrated development near the Marina Bay financial district, here, is flanked by two parks � the Marina Station Square and Central Linear Park.

    It is expected to be completed in 2017.

    M+S Pte Ltd chief operating officer Kemmy Tan said private viewings had been held for two weeks and the project was well-received, judging from the healthy interest by local and foreign buyers.

    Starting price is only S$538k? So cheap?

    All those predicting the imminent collapse since 2009 must be right.� [thumbsup]

    Falling prices in the HDB resale market has resulted in more vacant Executive Condominiums (ECs), according to Century 21�s Chief Executive Ku Swee Yong in a media report.

    At the end of September, there were 14,624 completed ECs, of which a total of 2,941 units came from six projects completed in the first three quarters of 2014. However, 16.2 percent or 2,375 units out of the overall figure were vacant, he said.

    This means 2,941 ECs were added this year, but the number of vacant units significantly increased to 2,375 in Q3 2014.

    �One reason for the slow take-up of ECs despite the Minimum Occupation Period (MOP) is that upgraders and second-timers are finding it challenging to sell their current HDB flats,� he said.

    �Four years ago, when these ECs were launched, a typical plan for upgraders was to buy the EC � many on deferred payment schemes � in the expectation that HDB resale prices will rise during the time that the new home was being built.�

    By the time the ECs were completed, they thought they could gain a sizeable windfall from the sale of their HDB flats, which could be used to pay off a portion of the loan for the EC unit.

    �However, the tide has turned against them. HDB resale prices have dropped for the past five quarters and recent changes to valuation rules and to purchases by Permanent Residents have made it even tougher to sell the current units at market prices,� Ku explained.

    While some HDB sellers, especially upgraders, accepted below-market prices, some are still waiting for better offers. However, there are some who postpone collecting their EC keys as they hold out for better prices.

    �So, in the EC segment, potentially about 2,300 families concurrently own two taxpayer-subsidised housing units: the HDB flat that they currently own and possibly occupy, and one completed EC that they have yet to move into,� Ku said.

    Because each family can only posses one subsidised home under the law, upgraders are compelled to sell their HDB flat as quickly as possible. �The pressure to sell may worsen, with EC completions expected to total 2,854 next year, 6,371 in 2016 and 2,505 in 2017,� he added.

    Mostly not affected by cooling measures and buyers are upgraders or first time buyers

    This means people who buy to stay.

    Different segment different results different characteristics.

    as I always thought freehold is better!

    Yes if for rental dont care about freehold or 99 as long as its near mrt and good location. If 99 there will be better return compared to freehold but then again when u sell ur property 10 years later, freehold will be better

    There's an article in ST yesterday on FH v 99 yrs leasehold, quite an interesting read actually.
    Sorry I can't post the link as I not ST online subscriber but in short they claim if you intend to have better
    rental yield, in would be better to invest in 99 yrs leasehold condo in view of the lower price upfront.

    Obviously if you intend for own stay, then freehold may be better. Never thought of it this way
    as I always thought freehold is better!

    Didn't read the article but did they mention overall returns or just the rental yield?

    Rental yield for 99yrs will of course be higher but the land+building is subject to depreciation as well. In the case of freehold, only the building is subject to depreciation.

    One should always consider overall returns instead of just rental yield.

    Fully agree with you on overall returns that's why I feel the article abit skewed cos they too focused on returns and they calculate based on the rental vs cost of the condo which obviously the 99 yr one wins.
    When you eventually sell, the freehold should still fair better IMO. Think their point is for the overall quantum you pay, you get a better return esp in these days of TDSR.

    No road works to airport , no direct access everywhere , i don't see how Jurong will facilitate the CBD requirements , though i do understand the need to decentralize.

    As for the lake simi lake simi , personally i see why i will clusterf**k in jurong where it jams almost every morning and evening and how many FW fills up the malls everyday.

    I am not having phobias but i do think as compared to wasting plenty of time on traveling and waiting for jams , i would prefer to stay nearer to my work place and spend lesser time on travels. I won't mind pay a little more as i think it addes up when you including waiting time , travel time , fuel and erp cost.

    Anyway ,i am in view of a correction of the property prices since 2013 and will continue to remain this way at least til the elections.

    True to some and not true to others , for my case , i have stayed near town for almost the past 30 over years� , my average travel time be driving(no jam) or taking an mrt to my work place is around 15~20 mins.

    I have practically worked in town for the past 15 years and i do think , having a shorter traveling time would save me alot of time over the long run to do other stuff.

    I cite an example , if i stay in jurong and work in town , let's say raffles place , the average traveling time is at least 40 mins and another 40 mins back . 1hour and 20 mins. For my case , i roughly take 15mins~20mins under normal traffic to reach home from where i work let say i over estimate , 25 mins , the difference is at least 30 mins per day.

    Not alot , but if you include , travel cost , Erp , Jams and petrol , i save at least 10-30 bucks on productivity related cost mutiple by 300 days * 5 = it is a difference of 45k over a period of 5 years , not alot of difference for some but i rather spend my 30 mins doing something else like having coffee with someone than to be stuck traveling.

    Now a house in jurong 4 rooms 460k and one let's say in tiong bahru/potong pasir cost 600k the difference of 140k is offset by a 45k difference over 5 years not to mention capital appreciation. Of course i don't deny people changing their jobs and locations , different people different requirements.

    I'm a simple man. I can't just stomach paying so much money for something that's not freehold. Even if it's 200-300k cheaper.�

    But my friend is single (no siblings) and plans to stay single, for him, i agree buying 99LH for your own stay and rental makes sense for him. Cos when he dies, he's just going to donate what's left to charity.
