Tigershark1976 Turbocharged September 13, 2009 Share September 13, 2009 you see ppl queuing up during those condo launches...all not locals meh? i do agree there are super rich foreigners buying but the majority are still locals "investors"trying to make a flip...look at the saturday papers.......soooooo many columns of condo sales advertisements....if the interest rate increase these ppl will be in deep s--t[knife] hmm.. u mean, u believe those people Q up for the condo launches are actually buyers/investers? ... Any developer just need to spend a 50K to get 100 person Q up for 1 FULL day... Y do they what to do so? why do they wat to spend so much money for peopple to Q up? well, you dont need to be an insider to know these thing, so long you watch enough movie, you will know that this is one of the old tricks use by the developer many many decades ago... is 50k a lot to spend??? not really, its just peanuts.... and its much cheaper compare to other any other type of advertising .... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vblaster_w211 2nd Gear September 13, 2009 Share September 13, 2009 One factor for local property market is the deferred payment scheme. Many took that up before the crash with minimal 10% payment and no other payments until TOP, which could be coming up soon for many projects. Waiting to see what happens when this mass hit reality.

Jamesc Hypersonic September 13, 2009 Share September 13, 2009 No it won't crash. U have to see who controls 85% of housing - supply. Then u have to look at demand, how many more PRs. For a crash u need excess supply or a reduction in demand. I don't see either happening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auto_emocion 2nd Gear September 13, 2009 Share September 13, 2009 You all miss the boat is it?.... Property will continue to surge. Property will only weaken if there is Government intervention or if the excess liquidity is drained out of the system. Dont see both happening in the near term. Meantime enjoy hah.... Petrol prices will continue to surge. Target US$100 in the near term. Gold already broke US$1,000, other commodity like sugar, silver also running..... Property it will continue to surge. Let's keep this posting alive until Nov 09 and see if you are correct. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fourth 2nd Gear September 13, 2009 Share September 13, 2009 what goes (shoots) up must come (crash) down. If you are talking about theoretical physics maybe you are right. Look at the selling price of gov land now. If below a certain value, the land will not be put to sale. Where to find cheap land to let it crash?? It may drop after climbing too high, but like it or not the median price will be creeping up over medium and long term. Look at history of property, with each drop, the climb will end up higher.

Sabretan 4th Gear September 13, 2009 Share September 13, 2009 all bubble starts with greed. Market sentiments getting too hot and people start chasing after overpriced stock, properties etc, which are not supported by fundamentals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesgetz 4th Gear September 13, 2009 Share September 13, 2009 yup. I think that is the top factor in deciding singapore property prices. HDB resale price. How many HDB flats will be built and sold at what cost. From the recent words of our Minister, he say HDB will go up 1-2% more..... and the government aim is to support the HDb prices at current levels as they are still "affordable" It is very simple. If you can get 600k for you hdb flats, private property prices will NEVER EVER fall below 800k for a similar size apartment. Once the private prices reaches near the HDB prices, the hordes of HDB upgraders will push up the price. You can see it in the recent GLOBAL RECESSION. our private property prices did not dip much at all. very true. s'pore property market is quite unique and skewed...
