    when they stop QE, then crash will happen.


    When they stop QE, only when they think it will not crash...

    Unlike Lehman Bro when everyone is not sure what the gov will do to save the mkt and how far it will go... It's very clear now that they will stop at nothing...

    The message that U/S is sending is loud and clear... U/S mkt cannot fail and the world leaders will do whatever they can even if its against morals and logic..*all the protest at wall street is useless* US gov are with the bankers.

    Turning on the tap for the water to run indefinitely will cause the dam to break.

    *sigh*.. the more anticipanted the outcome .. the least possible to happen..

    Likely that USD will lose it values, commodities will move to be value by alternative currency.

    I am never itchy for ferrari or lambo ....i am just a man in the street.
    Even my Porsche is pre owned....

    I just want to regroup and maintain my high liquidity currently.
    Cash is undervalued when it is of most use.

    When you fight a battle and runout of ammo.
    No matter how well you plan, you will be a sitting duck unless you get your hands on more ammo.
    Let the enemies fire, use up their ammo.
    Once their firing is done, we will take charge.

    Anyway, i'm just a small timer looking to retire a few years earlier, thats all.

    So you are fighting the battle using the same kind of ammo as your enemy is?

    Your ammo is limited. Theirs.... is.... just a matter of paper and ink. Unless you're telling me you got a printing machine at home.

    battles are not won by ammos alone..... remember ????.
    What seem to be dead end ... may just be a turning point.

    Expect the unexpected...

    the thing is muz be willing to let go of your old belief and move on.. "restart"
    Alot of ppl are struck with the belief that the pty mkt will crash since 2010... and still refused to let it go..

    Some may think that i am flicker minded..
    Every period post different things.. Not that i dont believe in myself.. but i always like to "think" from the beginning again.
    A decision for FED can change the game overnight.. so keeping a open mind is impt.

    You got it wrong, they are not the enemy.
    The whole concept strategy revolves around we , ourselves.
    Not sure if you understand.
    Lets just say, we are our own enemy and we are just fighting against ourselves most of the time

    If you read carefully

    " This is despite the fact that as at March 2013, consumer debt in mortgages, credit card billings and study loans have increased compared to last year. Only car loans saw a drop in outstanding balances during the period under review. "

    So which means it still not healthy as all debt had increase except for car loans ( due to no choice, cannot take higher loan )

    Unless it drop across whole board, it's not good news anyway.

    what a day difference made ... conflicting message

    SINGAPORE: Credit Counselling Singapore (CCS) estimates that as many as 30,000 borrowers could be under distress, from tighter restrictions on credit card and unsecured lending.

    But based on data from Credit Bureau Singapore (CBS), the credit health of Singapore consumers has improved from a year ago.

    One possible explanation is that even as consumers borrow more, they have become more responsible in managing debt.

    we are talking about suburban condos hor ... not the one smack right in orchard/steven road, cbd or marina bay

    Hard to find condo unit under $1,000 psf

    Buyers more focused on total price tag than psf cost: Analysts

    Published on Sep 21, 2013

    By Melissa Tan


    IF YOU think it is near impossible to pick up a mass market condominium unit for under $1,000 per sq ft these days, you could be right, as recent statistics show.

    The majority of suburban private home transactions were above that price level in the second quarter of this year, according to Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) data compiled by property consultancy OrangeTee.

    The numbers underline a trend that has been increasingly apparent for the past two years - buyers will shrug off high prices on a per sq ft (psf) basis as long as the overall quantum is seen as affordable.

    That seems to mean paying up to $1.2 million for a suburban private home, consultants said.

    Out of 3,627 mass-market private units sold in the three months to June 30, 2,180 were above $1,000 psf.

    That is 60 per cent, a starkly higher proportion than the 25.5 per cent recorded in the second quarter of 2011, when 1,188 out of 4,368 suburban units were sold above that price point.

    The proportion of units costing more than $1,500 psf has also climbed dramatically, from 0.5 per cent in the second quarter of 2011 to 14.2 per cent in the same period this year.

    Recent condo launches in the suburbs have notched up astronomical psf prices.

    Take the 738-unit J Gateway in Jurong East. It was launched in June and its units have been sold for as much as $1,774 psf.

    That price was paid for a shoebox apartment of 484 sq ft at the 99-year leasehold project. It works out to $858,000.

    At the freehold The Tembusu in Kovan, which was launched last month, the highest price paid was $1,687 psf for a 474 sq ft home or $799,000. The 337-unit project saw more than 200 units sold on the first day of sales.

    "It appears that home buyers today are no longer concerned with the unit psf prices as long as the total quantum is within their reach, either for investment or their own stay," said OrangeTee research head Christine Li.

    "The high psf prices could remain for a while longer, given the land prices developers have paid over the last year."

    The URA is launching two adjacent private residential plots in Upper Serangoon View with the same tender closing dates before the end of this month.

    Releasing sites in a batch like this is part of an experiment to moderate land tender bids.

    Its previous experiment, conducted in July with three executive condominium plots that were not adjacent, ended up smashing price records.

    However, it is not just psf prices; total price quantums have also gone up even as unit sizes shrink.

    "Three years ago, $1 million could buy you a 1,000 sq ft three-bedroom unit," said PropNex chief executive Mohamed Ismail.

    "But today, even though three-bedders have been reduced to 800 sq ft, which is already a 20 per cent drop in size, if it costs $1,350 psf, you'll be paying $1.08 million."

    Knight Frank research head Alice Tan said the "sweet spot" price level for first-time home buyers was in the range of $950,000 to $1.1 million.

    "We could see some resistance for prices beyond $1.2 million," she added.


    Mr Ismail reckons the psychological ceiling is around $1.5 million for a mass-market home. The highest suburban mass-market condo price this year was $1,920 psf paid in April for a unit at Centro Residences in Ang Mo Kio. It works out to $1.9 million for a 1,001 sq ft apartment.


    Consultants expect suburban price increases to be more muted in the coming months due to dampened buyer demand on the back of mortgage restrictions introduced in late June.

    If you read carefully

    " This is despite the fact that as at March 2013, consumer debt in mortgages, credit card billings and study loans have increased compared to last year. Only car loans saw a drop in outstanding balances during the period under review. "

    So which means it still not healthy as all debt had increase except for car loans ( due to no choice, cannot take higher loan )

    Unless it drop across whole board, it's not good news anyway.

    By Joyce Lim


    Two weeks after The Sunday Times reported that the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) is investigating the illegal short-term leasing of apartments at The Sail Marina Bay, a check has found that such leasing is occurring at the waterfront condominium.

    Several websites continue to blatantly carry advertisements of units available for short-term leases at The Sail Marina Bay.

    The Sunday Times responded to one of the advertisements on Sailatmarinabay.com, with a staff member posing as a foreigner and indicating an interest to rent a one-bedroom apartment from Oct 1 to Oct 31.

    In an e-mail reply, a customer service and sales employee quoted an "Executive Deluxe City View" one-bedroom apartment for a discounted price of $7,200 nett a month, and an additional $500 payable for one with a view of the Marina Bay area.

    When The Sunday Times team turned up for the viewing on Sept 12, it was shown two units located on levels 14 and 17 of Tower 1, and a third unit on level 16 of Tower 2, which offers a partial view of the Marina Bay area.

    A lease agreement was later presented, stating a leasing period of six months starting on Oct 1, even though the team said it was keen to rent it for only a month.

    The employee, who went by the name "Ewan", explained that the law requires the lease contract to be for a minimum period of six months. However, he pointed out a clause in the contract giving the option for early termination on Oct 31.

    The contract could be terminated after one month, assured Ewan.


    A search on the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority revealed that Sailatmarinabay.com is owned by Bergen Associates Group. Its managing director Peter Leung, a Singapore permanent resident, is a resident and a former management council member of The Sail.


    When this reporter later revealed her identity to Mr Leung and questioned him on the short-term lease, he declined to comment.

    Under URA's guidelines on leasing and subletting of residential properties, it is illegal to lease such properties for stays of less than six months.

    URA has said that if investigations establish that a residential unit is being misused, the person responsible may be fined up to $200,000, imprisoned for a term of up to 12 months, or both.

    A URA spokesman told The Sunday Times that URA has received seven complaints over the last couple of weeks and added that "investigations are ongoing" on the unauthorised use of the residential units at The Sail Marina Bay.

    Last year, one resident, who wanted to be known only as Mr S. K. Cheah, terminated his leasing agreement with Bergens Associates Group after he found out that his apartment was allegedly being subletted, which was not part of the agreement between the two parties.

    The 53-year-old investor told The Sunday Times: "I had three different people staying in my apartment in three months. So I decided to do a spot check one night, and I found out that my apartment, which was leased to Bergens Associates for $4,500 a month, was sublet to another company for $8,500 a month.

    "I would not let my unit be leased out illegally as a serviced apartment."

    But tenants of The Sail Marina Bay may not be aware that the apartments have been illegally leased to them on a short-term basis.

    The Sunday Times team met an American couple as they were checking out from the condominium last Tuesday. The couple arrived in Singapore last month and had stayed in a one-bedroom apartment on the 47th floor from Aug 19 till then.

    The husband, a director in a multinational foreign bank here who declined to be named, was shocked when he was told that it was illegal for the serviced apartment operator to lease the apartment to him for only a month.

    He said: "The accommodation was arranged for me by my company. The whole place looked like it was for corporate rental. I didn't know that it was illegal.

    "The services provided by Marina Bay Service Residences were excellent. Their staff were very dedicated and helped me with everything including arranging for my transport and booking a tennis court."

    In 2010, URA investigated about 1,000 cases of the unauthorised use of private residential properties, which included short-term stays and the unauthorised conversion of private residential properties to workers' dormitories or boarding houses.

    By last year, URA saw an 80 per cent rise in the number of such cases to 1,800 cases. In the first seven months of this year, there were about 980 such cases, similar to the number seen in the same period last year, said its spokesman.

    URA told The Sunday Times that it has not charged anyone in court for illegal short-term rentals thus far "because home owners typically comply with our requirements to rectify the planning infringements when they are notified".

    just like with 50% downpayment and 5 years loan for car
    hearsay, got company offer lease for 5 years ie: $0 downpayment and OPTION to buy the car after 5 year at a pre-agreed value when the lease start
    technically is to circumvent the 50% downpayment and 5 years loan
    at the end the owner still can buy a car without 50% downpayment and 5 years loan maximum

    Lifting the restriction is one way out for the developers... Another is for the government to give excuses like "to better utitlies completed unit" and allow these developer/service apartment operator to rent out these units as service apartment after TOP. And wah la, developers will be saved and make alot of more. ;P

    At the moment, all the big business are complaining abt staffing as well as accom for their oversea staff.. Government will need to look into rental supply soon after hdb prices stablised.

    By the way, the property market largely manipulated by the agents by pushing prices beyond where they really should be. Just like how COEs are pushed up by dealers.

    Otherwise how can the same house marketed by two different agents hv a $250k difference in price?
    So obviously, the agents simply mark a huge buffer before advertising.

    Therefore, when buying we must not be paiseh to take a big chunk off our offers.

    Its very clear, showroom full doesnt mean sales are good.
    Usually grand opening time showroom surely full.
    Full of all kinds of people trying to get freebies. laugh.gif
    One of Singaporean pastime is to visit condo showrooms.
    Buy or dont buy just visit.
    Also car showrooms.

    Then after two weeks of launch, showrooms become quiet.

    I pass by a few cluster house development, 2yrs later still for sale by developer?!!! Wtf?

    D'Leedon still 25% unsold.
    Skyhabitat, more than 50% unsold...
    So many few yr old condos under $1100psf in better locations.

    Marketing the brand is for long term loyalty.
    Good products mostly only market brand, no need to advertise to sell
    Product sells on its own driven by market

    Advertising to sell is a push for sales
    Product wont sell on its own, must give freebies, must encourage buyers, must discount etc.
    Driven by seller.

    Good luck Singaporeans!
