Braving curbs, Chinese buyers lead foreign revival in Singapore's luxury homes

 

Some of the Chinese investors are apparently buying into these luxury homes in the city state as a safety bet against the US-China trade war. Fresh interest is also being driven by instability in rival financial hub Hong Kong.

 

"The Chinese are coming," "The factors are the issue in Hong Kong and also the trade war... They are looking at the stability of our currency."

 

there has been a rush of potential Chinese buyers to view the property in recent weeks.

 

Other brokers said they were aware of four deals over the last three months where Chinese bought apartments worth $20 million to $30 million in Singapore.

Property facing demand-supply mismatch but Redas sees limited price downside

 

(Commentators say price cuts will be moderate, with more buyers expecting stable or only slight falls in prices; demand from en bloc millionaires to stay resilient)

Some warning of recession, so be careful when you consider big ticket items like a new home or even just some fancy reno..

This is a very odd situation..

80% of Singaporeans are supposed to be in HDB, so that leaves 20% in private. And some people are straddling both worlds, so let's add another 10%

 

If we have 6 million people, and another 2 million or so who are foreigners, that makes 3.6 million who are the target buyers. Yet sales are so wild..

 

So it shows that the local appetite for property is still high, despite what the numbers and news indicate..

Mild or wild?

 

Not forgetting the basic down payment for everyone had been adjusted to 25% from last year.

 

That’s a cool 50,000 on top of 200,000 for a 1 million property.

Anyone seeing One Pearl Bank this weekend?

May not be able to buy but is a must see.

Hong Kong government depends heavily on land sales to sustain its budget.  Hence, it colludes with the private developers to push up the land prices.

 

Singapore's property taxes are a significant chunk (~19% in terms of direct taxes in FY2017 excluding GST) of the budget too.

Thousands throng One Pearl Bank launch, including former residents keen to return

Alex Poh got 5m... No wonder he wants to champion the enbloc to go thru.

 

And with 5m, he still wants to take loan for the 1m unit that he intends to buy.

 

This guy sounds like a mercenary to me.

 

And Auntie Hui.. so lich. Can buy 2 units and 1 for her son also. The son is very lucky to not have to worry about housing. He better pay it forward to his chewren.

 

Why do I sound so sour grapes?

Now a big portion of the expensive new launches is supported by these cash rich enbloc owners.
