Just remember when taking big loan for second property, dont kena retrenched or fired. 🤣😅

TDSR is not to protect you, it is just a bare bones basic to protect the lenders.  😄 
but when you screw up, you screw up…. Muayhahaha

People that can invest, in a property or otherwise, hopefully are rich enough to grind through a bad period. 
 

but like any forms of investment, there is no sure win.

Many people think they can.   And simply use TDSR as a basis of affordability.  If thats the case,  i would qualify to buy LHY’s bungalow at Caldecott. 

Of course there is no sure win, but it is sometimes easier to spot a sure loss.  😄

huat ah!

Property may not be the best asset for everyone and all periods of time, but for most people and most periods, it simply is the best.

10 years have gone by since 10 years ago they said property already has gone up by so much, how much more to go?

Judge for yourself the run from 2008-2013 and from 2018 to 2021, and also the dip from 2013 to 2017. Look at the overall direction.

Judge for yourself.

Guess what , i mentally made a bet using my entire networth as wager that Showster would have a reply post regarding this. 
and i won big !  

he is on my ignore list still so i dont read what he says but i can see he posted.  And i can bet again that he must be saying that, property is the best, sure win, confirm huat.  

too bad it isnt so easy to make money in real life.    Even going to the casino to bet is higher risk.   
muayhahhahhahhahhha

All that glitters is not just housing...

Quote

SINGAPORE - Property has long been seen as a pot of gold for Singapore investors, but a new DBS study that came out on Tuesday (Oct 12) shows that in the future, it might not be the treasure trove it used to be.

This is especially as new properties are smaller and more expensive as property price growth outpaces income growth.

Property analyst Derek Tan from DBS Group Research told reporters in a media briefing that the property price-to-income ratio is projected to hit a multi-year high as properties will cost 15 times the annual pay of a median-income family.

This means that a family wanting to upgrade to a similar-sized or bigger private property has to pay 15 times what it is earning in a year, based on current prices.

Mr Tan said: "This figure is the highest we have seen in 20 years. It means that current prices are not sustainable unless we see salaries increase at a faster rate, and it also implies that households increasingly need to have dual sources of income."

Historically, the price-to-income ratio - which measures property prices over annual income, including Central Provident Fund (CPF) contribution - has been from nine to one, to 12 to one.

The DBS report also showed that the average property price per sq ft (psf) has jumped 50 per cent since 2010, an increase which has grown more significant in new property launches.

Agree property not sure bet, people have lost  hard earned $$

But its rise and rise since 2020 is surprising and few would have predicted the surge since Jan 2020

and now gurus are predicting a continued rise because of super low interest rate

Been to view some popular ones recently, its a seller market, reminiscent of 2013, was told valuation price is yesterday news , its all future pricing liao 🤣

I think it would be fairer to judge the price growth of a particular project bought during launch each of the period you mentioned to see how that particular project or unit has performed. You may buy a dude & lose $.

Unfortunately, we are buying a unit & not the index.

 Correct it never was just properties. And i would say it again.

properties is but another assetclass we can use to enhance our financial position, however to go all in on properties is never the best thing to do.

The Govt are concerned now as the extremes are being tipped. An era has gone by and another has come.  Some people talk about SG & HK. Do we really want SG housing to end up like HK?  No.  I do not want our future generations, our children, our grand children to suffer the fate of others before us.  Therefore the people in power must prevent this.  

eg.

The Old Days - Two is enough, be a good employee, one company lifelong, own a suitable home that you can afford. Retire in decency

The new times - No kids better  (population dwindling problems), high job hopping, whack as much  as you can in a property even if you have to borrow on your parents kidneys, trouble in retirement (need to liquidate residence) 

 

Are we truly happier compared to the previous generation simply becos we have TV Computer mobilephones ? Will our children be happier than us?

i can certainly say NO.  And this is one of the main reasons why people are leaving.   Tackle the root cause otherwise, take a hike

I think the benchmark or minimum is to meet the CPF 2.5%... if your rentals can't cover it, then it's no good.

It's a big investment, whereas I can fork out a few k to buy some shares and get 2.5% off dividends..

And when calculating returns, don't forget to add loan, legal and other costs as well as opportunity costs...

 

BUT hey I'm not against property, I firmly believe in it, if the price is right...

Exactly. The main aim is to find one that allows us to match or beat the index. That is the right approach over the long run.

What many are doing, is to wait for the index to show more affordability or cheap prices overall. Time is not in our favour taking this approach. They miss out on the right property at the right time.
