Property agents feeling the pinch as market cools

This morning HDB and URA released price trends for public and private properties
http://www.hdb.gov.sg/fi10/fi10296p.nsf/PressReleases/286EAC120CA88AD948257D2000005301
http://www.ura.gov.sg/uol/media-room/news/2014/jul/pr14-44.aspx

HDB down 1.4%
Private down 1%

HDB's transactions volume surged 16% and registered a greater fall than private properties. This reflects the massive private condo TOPs and EC completion in 2014-2016. By regulation, HDB upgraders will be forced to offload their units in the process and delaying this decision will also likely to further erode their selling prices. On the other hand, private property prices appear to be supported by Seller-Stamp Duties which will force weaker investors to reconsider any decisions to cut-loss.



PS: It might be worthwhile to consider resale HDB instead of BTO in the near future.

Property market here is unique where boom is initiated by HDB and crash will be started by private. As long as employment is ok and no huge increase in interest rate, nothing big will happen.

Does anyone know if sinkies working overseas can take bank loan to buy sinkie property?
 
Why would sinkie property market collapse when so much dirty money flows here to hide?
These money can't flow back to their countries for fear of taxes or confiscation. At the same time, not many countries safe with low taxes and no estate tax like sinkiepore to hide money and relatively provides a comfortable lifestyle for those with money.

paiseh bro, certainly u need to prove income, please drop the banks a brief email to plan what documents u need to standby.
 
no lah brother, i don't want to anyhow guess the documents required because your income is not sg-based. but certainly no issue to get loan approval.

please note that if you are buying HDB, you might want to get a pre-approved loan quantum (amount) from bank before beginning your hunt.
