Mercs Hypersonic September 13, 2019 Author Share September 13, 2019 https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/real-estate/sales-of-new-private-homes-holding-up-in-august Sales of new private homes holding up in August (Over 1,000 units sold as changing buyer demographics over the years may be blunting the impact of inauspicious month) The 1,468-unit Parc Clematis is the top selling private residential project, with 316 units snapped up in August (as at Sept 12). Other projects launched earlier that continued to bring in a steady stream of buyers during the month include The Florence Residences (122 units), Treasure at Tampines (93 units), Parc Botannia (60 units), Parc Esta (47 units), and executive condominium (EC) Piermont Grand (44 units). Based on the Urban Redevelopment Authority's (URA) Realis data (as at Sept 12), developers moved 1,122 new homes in August, excluding ECs which are a private-public hybrid. Including ECs, developers sold 1,167 units. "Despite the global economic uncertainties and the Chinese lunar seventh month, over 1,000 new homes were sold last month. Last month's sales volume is considered strong as it is almost on a par with July's. The month of July usually records higher than average monthly sales in a year, and the sales volume for July 2019 was the highest for this year." In July this year, developers moved 1,178 private homes excluding EC units, and 1,556 units, including ECs. In August last year, only 617 private homes were sold. "Most developers avoid the lunar seventh month for project launches and as a result, sales volumes tend to be lower. However, 2019 could be the exception. The lunar seventh month ended on Aug 29, giving developers the flexibility to decide whether they should launch on the last weekend of August." both Parc Clematis and Luxus Hills' Signature Collection were launched on that weekend, to "spectacular results". With developers scheduling launches after the Hungry Ghost month period, "the bulk of the new sales numbers is likely to be reflected in September" Looking ahead, falling interest rates as well as Singapore's status as a safe haven for long-term investments could keep buying sentiment positive, especially amid the ongoing US- China trade war and other uncertainties which threaten to cast a pall on the global economy. "Over the long term, Singapore's residential assets will continue to be perceived as safe assets and attract investors with at least a five-year investment horizon." projects the take-up tally for 2019 to surpass the 8,795 units scooped up in 2018. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some developers are likely to be hit by the 25% ABSD if their units are not sold within the 5-year from the land acquisition date. Said Mr Chia: "Assuming the present rate of take-up continues, we will see a total sales volume of about 8,000+ units for the whole of 2019. Based on this take-up rate and barring any unforeseen circumstances, we would require four to five years for the market to absorb the estimated 43,000 units available for sale." 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some developers are likely to be hit by the 25% ABSD if their units are not sold within the 5-year from the land acquisition date. Work both ways, if demand slows ... ah gong may reduce/remove some CMs then many will chiong again- (read sustainable property market) Last 'downturn' 2013-17 ... its been shown that developers would much rather pay ABSD hold units then to lower prices for quick sales. As mentioned prior, CMs since 2009 many with big warchest cash rich on the sideline, so not just the recent enbloc rich. Next couple years if trade war/ global economy worsen, property demand/pricss will still to be supported via the cash rich/enbloc rich/ foreign investors park 'safe' funds here etc. In the longer term after 5 years and up, when the current units supply get absorbed and with reduced GLS, may see another round of enbloc fever.
