Discussion : Singapore Property

[WatchAdmirer]

Personally feels that commercial properties not much capital appreciation, and the yield of 4.75% per annum can be gotten from the stock mkt, though there's always a chance of capital depreciation.... just like physical properties...

generally REITs stocks' dividen is quite attractive

SG Property 2013

Last night, the government just announced new cooling measures for the property market. Personally I think that the D9, 10 and 11 will have some softening but unlikely to impact much on sub urban areas. Real impact will come when interest rates increases...

Any thoughts?

My thoughts on real estate is simple. Just like watches, buy within budget, buy what speaks to you the most. No necessity to follow the crowd .

buy within budget? so tough.

if you look @ 3 bedroom HDB flat resale price and the maximum combined income of a couple and the maximum loan possible.

im not sure if a young couple can finish paying off the loan by the time they retire @ age 65.

these include factoring in living costs exclude getting car and kids expenses.

One thing is certain we Singaporeans are really obsessed with property..
We talk about it, dream about it and hopefully want to own it one day.,,

whats property anyways... I cant ever afford it here.......

IMO, buyers who want to buy will still buy, developers which want to sell will still sell. It's very simple, those who needs to buy will try to find their means, same applies to developers who must sell. Either lower the price or in the forms of rebates. The real problems will not be solved. In any case, it's been announced the measures are TEMPORARY, let's wait and see how TEMPORARY becomes PERMANENT!

so they can stop the sandwich/ middle class from buying/speculating/investing cause cant take as much loan so more cash upfront (and who has so much cash????)

So in the future, the sandwich / middle class become the new poor
the rich still become richer

Then prices still will go up !

no money no honey is so yesterday

Now

no money no Homey

Frankly with housing price going north for the sake of asset inflation to build your retirement
It is your children who have to pay the high price of housing. The housing market here is a pyramid scheme in disguise
Why do u think the govt cannot stop importing ft? Like a pyramid scheme no ft means no new members to ride on..

My colleague rent his 5rm flat out and bought a 3000sqft nice house in Iskandar for RM800k 4 years ago
Use the rental pay mortgage both side

His wife says finally she can do yoga in their own garden

Maybe can consider moving there 20mis from Singapore only

i guess with the new measures, its not really gonna affect pty buyers in D9,10,11. cos only the wealthy will afford such places, these new increments will not affect them much.
