Showster Twincharged December 14, 2020 Share December 14, 2020 That one is well known situation. Inevitable situation, how to call elephant? Might as well say aim for negative economic numbers for 3 years as a cooling measure. 1 hour ago, Arcachon said: 1. Longer MOP 2. Extra stamp duty 3. Shorter leases PR cannot buy?

Guess what is the number they should control. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showster Twincharged January 4, 2021 Share January 4, 2021 On 10/21/2020 at 10:29 AM, Showster said: There are some truths in this as well. With the equity loan funds and personal savings, I switched some stocks held and bought some more, doubling the value of my cash holdings today. But still not enough to qualify to buy one more property, unless cheap industrial / commercial for now... Some people will wait for 2021 (both housing and equity). Then they will wait for 2022... The weirdest truth is, it will never make full sense at the point that you buy. It didn't make sense in 2006 when I bought my first, 2012 when I bought my second, and 2015 when I got the third. For each property, it only STARTS to make sense minimum 3-5 years later. By the way, all three are bought as new property (firsthand). It's almost time that the decision made sense. https://www.srx.com.sg/singapore-property-news/60511/hdb-resale-prices-up-29-in-q4-biggest-quarterly-rise-in-9-years-flash-data If one holds till end 2021, it will make good sense. If one can hold 3-5 years, people will ask sincerely how come you had the foresight to buy then. AKA how come you had perfect sense? But the writings have always been on the wall all along, just whether people choose to acknowledge or to ignore. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riviere, better location than martin modern and at $2500pfs (same as martin and LH) is also 80% unsold after 1.5 years In the first place, which property webinar will ever say their property is overvalued? And when they say is cheap and undervalued, it is with comparison with what? Leedon Green sold 92 units in 2020 with their average $psf at $2684. You decide if that is a good buy for a FH in D10 now.

sgpropertyisthebest Neutral Newbie March 1, 2021 Share March 1, 2021 👏 What an intelligent and smart buyer, always buy the biggest property knowing that singapore property will always make money, and the singapore government will never able to ensure property market is in line with economic fundamentals. https://youtu.be/lLTiUx8ppjc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
