Blame it on the new round of cooling measures.
Private property prices will also take a hefty hit, affecting all property owners from Singaporean citizens to permanent residents.
“The hefty ABSD of 5% for PRs for the first property, 7% for Singaporeans’ second property purchase and 15% for foreigners will have a drastic impact on the sales volume of private properties in the coming months. Sales volume is expected to drop by more than 50% as buyers and investors choose to wait-out and see the effects of the dramatic cooling measures," said Mr Mohamed Ismail, Chief Executive Officer of PropNex Realty.
"It is predicted that the private property prices will head towards a slide of 5 to 7%. Developers had already paid high prices for the recent land bids and will not be able to sell much lower. Thus, developers are likely to be holding on to their project sales until the market recovers,” commented Mr Ismail.
