Roh96 6th Gear July 6, 2018 Share July 6, 2018 no la......ssd starts counting from the day option to purchase is exercised, regardless of whether property TOP or not. Ah..my bad and thanks for correcting me. Should be The Date of Purchase or Acquisition If a residential property is purchased on or after 20 Feb 2010, SSD is payable if the residential property is sold within the holding period. Thanks bro! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roh96 6th Gear July 6, 2018 Share July 6, 2018 Housing is a need. For the amount that we may profit now, it comes from future generations. I have been to too many countries and seeing people sleeping on the streets/parks just because they cannot afford to find a place to stay. If anyone wants to speculate or invest, better to do it in the stock markets... It is true that housing is a need. And I believe we have enough housing for everyone's need. Unfortunately, we do not have enough housing for everyone's greed. And we are sacrificing our next generation in order to satisfy our greed. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wt_know Supersonic July 6, 2018 Share July 6, 2018 (edited) agree. but the flip is "huat ah" buy $1M ... TOP sell $1.2M ... that's $200K profit in 3 years and buyer not even putting down $1M full cash leh with 70% loan? 1.8% FD with lots of liquidity or 2-3% govt bond with medium term maturity is very different from buying a property and getting stuck with no liquidity and contending with 2+% rental yield n high interest looming ahead.

So now instead of individual huat, let's make the govt huat also. 12% goes to nation building. Share share the fruit of huat. Lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acemundo Supercharged July 6, 2018 Share July 6, 2018 to be fair, last time when i missed out such property runs, i also lament. so i can understand why now people buy 2nd property to hopefully make from the capital appreciation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the reason why Lawrence Wong say that the property prices are not going with the economic fundamentals. He is aware that people are purchasing properties that don't reflect their true value, hence he is stepping in to show people what the true value of the properties should be. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roh96 6th Gear July 6, 2018 Share July 6, 2018 Will en-bloc fever coming to a stop? I think so. Sales momentum to turn cold; en-bloc activity to wane as developers rethink strategies By PC Lee / The Edge Singapore | July 6, 2018 2:56 PM SGT Tags: en bloc ABSD ABSD adjustment property cooling measures AddThis Sharing Buttons Share to WhatsAppShare to MessengerShare to WeChatShare to FacebookShare to Email After warning of “market exuberance” in the property market for the past six months, the Singapore government has finally raised Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty (ABSD) rates by 5 ppts and tightened Loan-to-Value (LTV) limits by 5 ppts. In terms of demand, sales momentum is expected to turn cold. According to a Friday report by DBS Group Research, the combined impact of these measures raises the cost of ownership on an assumed $1.5 million property purchase by $75,000 for first-time buyer and $150,000 for investor. With the increased upfront capital commitment, DBS expects demand from investors and foreigners to cool in the immediate term. In terms of sales momentum, total volumes is expected to fall to 9,000-10,000 units in 2018, and potentially even further if these curbs remain. ADVERTISEMENT On the supply side, the en-bloc market could potentially grind to a halt as developers to recalibrate their strategies to clear unsold stock acquired at high prices. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showster Twincharged July 6, 2018 Share July 6, 2018 (edited) You are assuming HDB couple will "decouple" by selling their HDB just so they can each buy PC under their own name? I am doubtful this group of ppl are significant in size to cause further slump in HDB prices. How many couples can live with 2 mortage loan? Maybe a few brave ones, but not majority for sure. Just monitor HDB transactions and prices over next two quarters. Also, I did not say they must get two properties. Can get one until they are ready to get another if separate names. Trust versus 12%. Tough choice indeed. Edited July 6, 2018 by Showster Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger1 6th Gear July 6, 2018 Share July 6, 2018 (edited) Aiya.. Be steady a bit la. If buying first property for own stay, buy when u need it and when u think you can afford it. For investors or busybody scare of missing the boat, that boat left last night. You go check out oversea cruises lor. My thoughts remain... Buy can buy but dont die die go wear big hat with a small head. Can die ugly. Edited July 6, 2018 by Tiger1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invigorated Supercharged July 6, 2018 Share July 6, 2018 In the near time, it is pretty obvious that prices are going to correct a little and bigger units and those at higher quantum will lose some shine, not just because of absd but because of the ltv, 25% dp is no joke for the boderlines. In the long run, as the govt has implied, it wants growth to be steady and not 3% every few months. Just as it can formulate a 25% ltv, it can do an 18% as and when it wants too so now we know the govt has its own invisible band to work on. One has to remain vested for a few years in order to see this merits. Those who are calling a crash cos of the new CMs are not seeing the full and big picture. Don't be a frog in the well, Singapore is not the only place to invest in Pty. The govt is just keeping people busy financing their loans so they have no time to meddle in politics.I don't think showster doesn't know that there are other markets. U mean u can use cpf for overseas properties? Buying sg properties can always form part of a basket. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually also have one fully paid property overseas managed by their local agent. But the rental collected in their bank has been depreciating even though the value has appreciated more than 50%. It is amazing to clock 300 or 500 sales within 5 hours. It is almost one sales per min. Faster than Mc selling burger.Island wide figures may be toward 2000 sales.
