    don't bother with all these analyst reports. as good as not reading�

    there is an urban myth amongst property agent that this old uncle in white singlet and shorts rode a bicycle to a showflat.

    To avoid serving him and wasting a queue, the senior director pretended to go toilet and let the next agent (a newbie) in line to serve the old man.

    turned out that the old man bought 2 penthouses for himself and his son.

    moral of the story - those who dress down in showflat are usually the rich ones� [laugh][laugh][laugh]

    Singapore

    ABOUT two in five Sentosa condominium units have resold at a loss in the past year, symptomatic of the plight of luxury homes here, as financing restrictions put off buyers, industry watchers say.

    Since May last year, 31 units have changed hands at six Sentosa projects: Marina Collection, Seascape, The Azure, The Berth, The Coast and The Oceanfront, according to data compiled by STProperty.sg from URA Realis.

    The profitability findings is in line with data gathered by HSR Research which shows resale prices at the plush Sentosa district falling 25 per cent to about $1,800 psf in the first five months of this year, compared to around $2,400 psf over the Jan-May 2013 period.

    That said, the price movements tend to be volatile, given the single-digit number of transactions each month. There were just five transactions altogether this year, and none in the months of February, March and May.

    Of the 31 transactions in the past year, profitability analysis could not be done for seven because caveats, which include information on purchase prices, were not lodged for the units. Profitability is calculated by subtracting purchase prices from selling prices. Of the remaining 24 transactions, 10 resold at a loss.

    Among the loss-making transactions, four were units at The Berth, the debut project at the Cove which was launched in 2004 and completed in 2006. Three units made losses at The Oceanfront, two at the Coast, and one at the Azure.

    Two in particular made seven-digit losses. A 2,982 sq ft unit at The Oceanfront sold for $5.65 million ($1,895 psf) in November last year, after it was purchased in April 2008 for $7.2 million ($2,415 psf) - a $1.55 million loss.

    Another 2,820 sq ft unit at The Coast sold for $4.8 million ($1,702 psf) in January this year, two years after it was purchased at $6 million ($2,128 psf). This was a $1.2 million loss.

    SLP International executive director Nicholas Mak suggests that this could be due to owners struggling to find tenants for their units amid the weak leasing market. Some may also not be able to secure high enough rental rates to service their loans. (Most Sentosa homes are bought not for own occupation, but as investment.) "So they may find it a better option to just liquidate," he said, adding that the location is also not the most convenient for expats to commute to the mainland for work.

    Another industry watcher added that buyers who bought units at $2,100 psf and above appear to have "overpaid". Those who profited from their resale deals mostly bought in at lower psf prices; a handful even got their units at $800, $900-plus psf back in 2006.

    Meanwhile, several Sentosa Cove units are also up for sale at auction houses here. A 2,777-sq-ft unit at Turquoise condo, put up for sale by a lender at a Colliers' auction this week, yielded no bids, despite having reduced its opening price to $4 million from its previous $5 million.

    Two Sentosa homes are up for auction by DTZ, both by lenders, one at Turquoise and another at Marina Collection. Another four are for sale by private treaty (akin to private negotiations) by JLL - two at Turquoise and two at Marina Collection.

    Typically, banks repossess homes and put them up for auction as part of a repayment structure when delinquent mortgagors (borrowers) are unable to find buyers and dispose of their properties themselves.

    JLL's head of auction and sales, Mok Sze Sze, said: "The owners of the two Turquoise units bought them at $7 million each, which is quite difficult to match in the current market.

    "Auctioning is a good method to garner all interested parties in a room to competitively bid. Potentially, the owner can also expect to get the optimum price because it's a competitive method of sale."

    Meanwhile, some Sentosa condos such as Cape Royale and The Residences at W have made strategic decisions to lease out their unlaunched units instead, given current soft condo prices on the Cove.

    Roaring sales in the waterfront enclave back in 2006-2008 were hit by the financial crisis and had hardly recovered when the private housing market succumbed to successive rounds of cooling measures from 2009. The way Mr Mak sees it: "For property prices anywhere, what goes up will also come down."

    Depends what is your 50% lah..

    Jurong/Clementi pte to go back to 700psf.. is very possible. You can say that's 60% drop compared to Jgateway..

    As spoken earlier.. i think that price will moderate to
    700-800psf for OCR (LH), 800-900psf for FH/next to mrt
    800-900psf RCR (LH), 1000-1200psf for FH/next to mrt
    1000-1200psf CCR (LH), 1400-1500psf for FH/next to mrt

    HDB will hover ard 300psf - 600psf

    % drop .. depends what is the price you are comparing too.

    Let see what i mentioned Sept 2013 will come true.. :P

    T2's pic already pretty close to my estimate..

    thing it's should bottom-out at the low end of my estimates.

    But of course some will be transacted.
    Buyers in the market for proper size units are mostly first timers and real demand.
    Investment and speculative demand is super thin, the higher the price category.

    Is Paying Just 5 Times Your Annual Income for a Property Realistic?

    muahahaha ... it is precisely this kind of lame thinking that lead the developer to build smaller and expensive $1.2M to $1.5M

    CAN afford? lol ... the CAN afford is die die must buy la ... 2.8% interest for 28 years ... what a joke ... lol

    might as well say can take 50 years loan .... condo would be fking cheap then ...

    JC must be a property agent ... lol

    The five times of income to property price ratio is quite ridiculous. I feel that this ratio is only applicable during the �mata wear khaki shorts� days. How can one ever find such a low ratio of five times in today�s context? No way, even if the property market is to crash, or rather correct. Nevertheless, I would definitely wish such a ratio would still hold today, and I would bet all my money into property.

    Example: a couple earns $15,000 per month, which annually would be $180,000. At five times, they can only afford a property that is $900,000, which can only buy a 2-bedder condo at an RCR or OCR location in Singapore. If the couple has kids, then I think it�s pretty difficult to live in a smallish 2-bedder of approximately 75 to 85 square meters with a maid!

    Rather, many couples CAN afford properties at $1.2 to $1.5 million and above when their income is approximately $10,000 per month, which is a 10x rather than 5x ratio. With savings of $400,000 to $500,000 (approximately 30% of $1.5mil), they can easily afford the mortgage at $3,000 per month (2% interest rate over 28 years). A savings of $400,000 is not difficult to achieve for a couple (both university grads) who have worked for 10 years possibly with a little help from their parents, say $50,000 to $80,000.

    In a nutshell, the 3-3-5 rule is skewed towards an unrealistic scenario which is unlikely to happen in Singapore (for Rule #3). We need to be realistic about the current pricing, current market, and hopefully, capitalize or gain from it through long term investment or enjoyment of the property. If we stick to this rule, we will NEVER buy a property (condo, that is) in Singapore, unless we earn $25,000 per month income combined for a couple. (i.e. $12,500 each!)

    More residents have trouble selling their flats
    03/07/2014 on mypaper by SAMANTHA BOH
    IS THERE an oversupply of flats? This was a question raised by Nee Soon GRC Member of Parliament Lee Bee Wah on Monday, after she noticed that many residents in her ward faced problems selling their homes.
    In a Facebook post, Ms Lee said residents have approached her at Meet-the-People Sessions, saying that their Build-To-Order (BTO) flats are ready but they are unable to find buyers for their current flats.
    "Is this (a) sign of oversupply of flats?" she asked.
    The problem surfaced in the past month. At Ms Lee's Meet-the-People Session on Monday, four residents asked for more time to sell their flats, reported Chinese evening daily Lianhe Wanbao.
    "They are mainly middle-aged and older, mostly looking to downsize their flat, but had been unable to sell their old flat to fund their new flat," Ms Lee was quoted as saying. "Without money, how can they get the keys to their new flats?"
    She said there were residents who did not even have a single prospective buyer view their flat, adding that all she could do is to help them get an extension of time to sell their flat.
    Gan Thiam Poh, MP for Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC, also encountered two to three such cases over the past year and, on most occasions, he had been able to get them a six-month extension, Wanbao reported.
    SLP International research head Nicholas Mak did not think there is an oversupply yet, but noted that demand has definitely softened, with flat prices expected to fall further.
    So, sellers have to price their flats ahead of the market, Mr Mak told My Paper.
    "From the buyer's point of view, he would want to buy at next month's price because by the time he gets hold of the flat, its price would have fallen more," he said.
    Lee Lay Keng, DTZ's regional head of research for South-east Asia, said restrictions placed on permanent residents and allowing singles to buy BTO flats also contributed to the drop in resale demand.
    "Buyers will tend to take their time to shop around, so sellers have to be more flexible with their pricing," said Ms Lee.

    price up many not happy, price down also no buyer?

    still got 25% down to go? [sly] ... muahahahahaha

    First, the government has no business helping private real estate companies like Kwek Leng Beng�s to attract international business. Nor, as [Straits Times�] Cheryl Ong put it in her opinion article in ST A20 yesterday, no obligation for the government to �give a lift� to the property market.� The real estate industry is an industry that basically thrives on monopolistic rents. It is not a productive industry, in a strict sense of the term. If Kwek Leng Beng finds it hard to make money, he only has himself to blame for not working harder. Meritocracy, right?

    Second, it is of no loss to Singapore if we miss out on Kwek Leng Beng�s so-called [foreign] �investments.� In fact, what we have observed is the extreme negative externalities wrought by the free flow of such �investments� (read: cash) due to excess liquidity which has its roots in the liberal cash-printing US, EU and Chinese central bank policies. The spike in commercial rental increases (again monopolistic rents) has caused consumer prices to increase, and the spike in home sale and rental prices in all sectors has caused plenty of problems for Singaporeans who wish to own a home.

    Third, by Cheryl Ong�s calculation, private home prices have spiked 60% since 2009.

    Assuming a generous sustainable rate of 6% compound increase for home prices since 2009, home prices should only have increased by 33.8%.

    We are about 25% over-valued. Quarterly decreases of 1.5% is nothing.

    Forth and finally, the government�s role should be to develop a sustainable, moderate, gradual increase in home prices (just like overall inflation!) so that homes remain affordable for the masses in land-scarce Singapore � and not to indulge folks like Kwek Leng Beng who are too happy to make a quick buck from policy errors and mistakes.

    All Hail TDSR, yeah!

    TDSR is a good measure and should stay.

    It's the additional stamp duty that is damping the demand from the high-end buyers ( ppl with the real $$ , not leaveage ones) �to come in, which he is talking abt. No wants to pays 15% more than others, even if pay in full cash.

    At the same time, there is every reason for gov to attract high earning to buy and roots themselves in singapore. These are ppl that gov want to squeeze to pay taxes. Not the low-income singaporean.� And these ppl spending power will fuel other sectors in the sg.

    So i dun agree that gov has not interest in helping to attract these buyer to come to sg.

    Aniway, Kwek's opinion , although vested, is of good intention to sg. His business is not limited to sg unlike other "smaller developer". He owns the whole MCIL.. which makes him have a stake in almost all major cities. If SG is not attractive to him, he could divert his fund else where. He and old Lee goes a long way back. I feel that it's most of an honest opinion from a wise man. Of course, we may or may not agree with what he says, but his points is worth considering.

    Definitely better, than the analyst that sways where the wind blows.

    This is just an roundabout way saying that housing issues has been (over) addressed. Drop 25% in next 2yrs could be possible, but in view of the long term goal (6.9), will be lucky if it just shifts back up by 50%.

    When there is sever lack of supply, everywhere has a good demand.

    When the supply is more balance,� then those worse off location will suffer lor. Simply because everyone dont like the location.� Seller want to move out , buyer don even want to look. Don think it's a issue with oversupply.. but rather poor location.

    amidst all the talk of price dropping, here is one researcher who thinks price may even inch up� [:p]

    Savills Singapore research head Alan Cheong said that at this juncture, a critical factor for developers' success is "how good they are at reading buyers' wishes rather than their needs".

    "For example, buyers may only want to invest in real estate rather than upgrade so to speak. If this is the case, it is pointless to build larger units so that a family can move in comfortably. Smaller units may be what they want, and with the TDSR and cooling measures still in place, that may be where the market is for the masses," he added.

    By thus minting a substantial chunk of units in the affordable lump-sum price range for buyers, developers can maintain, if not inch up, psf prices.

    competition is not healthy ... you scratch my back i scratch yours

    Property agencies team up to tackle challenging market

    Aiyoh, so cham have to team up ah?

    Competition healthy, market weak thats all.

    In any other industry, when two rivals team up, we know how bad the market is.
    No difference in this industry or market , right?

    Heeeeheeeheee....

    However, it is in my opinion that the market IS healthy and doing the right thing.
    It was too fat in recent years. Need to trim down fast before it gets a heart attck or some chronic ailments.



    Ps. More prop agents being dropped like flies in the months to come.......careful now


    Crash in 2018 please. Thank you.� [lipsrsealed][thumbsup]

    Wah lau, by 2018, prices already kena whacked upside down, you still want it to crash? Dont so evil leh.....muayhahahahahaha

    DEPUTY Prime Minister and Finance Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam has raised the possibility of a further correction in property prices. He told a conference yesterday: "I think further correction would not be unexpected."

    He told a conference that Singapore had responded early enough to raging property prices with a set of cooling measures, but added that a crash in the property market was unlikely.

    2010-2014 ... property price had risen as high as 50% (ie: OCR $800psf to now $1200psf)

    now all analysts/banks/developers/agents are looking at 20% drop which is not considered crash

    and the 20% drop is on selected units and projects to clear stock ... not a typical 20% drop across the board

    so what percentage drop would be considered a crash? down by 50%?

    well said Dr V ...

    TDSR should NEVER be removed even property price had corrected. TDSR framework is to ensure financial prudence and not targeted to curb property price. the reason property price skyrocketed and create bubble is precisely due to no financial prudence.

    No need to ease property curbs

    THERE has been an ongoing debate for some time over whether property cooling measures should be relaxed ("Too early to relax property cooling measures, says MND"; Tuesday).

    Why is it necessary to ease them in the first place?

    The measures - particularly the total debt servicing ratio framework and the additional buyer's stamp duty - have served us well by ensuring greater financial prudence among property buyers, and a stable and sustainable property market, besides keeping inflation in check.

    While the measures have reduced the number of units sold, the main objective of reining in prices and speculative activities has been achieved. So why upset the apple cart? Do we want to go back to the days of runaway property prices and speculative trading?

    The argument by developers that Singapore's reputation as a global city would be jeopardised is fallacious ("Right time to review cooling measures: Kwek Leng Beng"; Tuesday).

    Foreigners wishing to invest in properties here would take advantage of lower property prices despite heavy stamp duties.

    In fact, such investors would help boost our economy by snapping up properties at attractive prices. Conversely, expensive properties may deter foreign investment.

    Competitive lower prices�also enable Singaporeans to upgrade from their HDB flats to private homes, thereby contributing to wealth accretion and stemming the rate of price declines.

    While property developers would like to see higher prices to boost their bottom lines, greater affordability of housing for Singaporeans should take precedence.

    His comments are already very mild.
    Simply becos he cannot be too one sided.
    Must be politically correct so that buyers and sellers will feel comforted.

    Wahaaha

    As mentioned, the direction of prices is clearly down, its only the velocity of the fall.

    If the TDSR stops one from buying it means one really cant afford it.
    Well done SG Govt! Love the TDSR , they should tighten it to 50% . 60% still a bit fat...

    https://sg.finance.y...-014600878.html

    Their profitability and efficiency are deteriorating.

    Singapore�s biggest banks are grappling with more problem loans and steadily higher interest rates, prompting Moody�s Investors Service to again issue a negative outlook on the country�s banking system.

    Moody�s noted that the negative outlook will last for the next 12-18 months, as asset prices continue to fall and banks struggle with increasing credit costs.

    According Eugene Tarzimanov, a Moody's Vice President and Senior Credit Officer, "Even a gradual increase in interest rates will put pressure on the banks' operating environment, because the rapid credit growth in recent years has led to a situation where many loans will not be fully seasonedwhen the repayment burden on more highly leveraged borrowers increases, as interest rates rise."

    According to the MAS, the value of overseas purchases made through real estate agents in Singapore has grown to S$2.0 billion in 2013 from S$1.4 billion in 2012.More Singaporeans are foraying into overseas property markets, but many of these buyers are unaware of the risks associated with their purchases. In a statement released yesterday, the Monetary Authority of Singapore issued warnings against overseas property purchases.

    The TDSR has to be calculated inclusive of the person's foreign property encumbrances.
    So this is good news for people who hv not bought at the toppish levels in the last one year.
