No worries, Matix.
In my point of view, the new policies announced last year didn't change the physical and price attractiveness of living in Nusajaya to residents of Singapore. What those new policies did is that they created uncertainties as they were not confirmed until recently. Buyers, especially from Singapore, are just seating on the sideline waiting for the new policies to be clear before making their decision to buy.
If you look at EL properties in a slightly longer term like just another 2 years from now, you'll see a 90% chance for prices of EL properties to continue to appreciate rather than depreciate, simply because current prices are still in a very affordable range even if compared to the most rural parts of Singapore(we can and should compare to Sg's price because people from Singapore make up a huge percentage of EL buyers). The way I see it, the delay in delivery plus the new policy of 30% RPGT within the first 5 years are more of a blessing to buyers like yourself who might have previous intention to sell early. You'll be taxed 30% of your profit if you sell upon VP but if you hold longer until 5 years, you stand a good chance to sell at higher price and you'll only be taxed 5% of your profit.
Anyway, that's my view. How much do you intend to sell?
