Housing Prices Vs Household Income – Alternative ways of viewing the statistics

With reference to today’s Straits Times article where Mr Mah Bow Tan said it is not true that HDB resale prices have outstripped income growth. He supported his statement with the following statistics:

I would like to point out that the choice of the base year can be very significant.

Let’s see what happens when we change the base year to 2000 and 2001:

And if we look at it since the last General Election:

Resale prices up by 45.6%, while median household income is up 21.3%.

Choosing a suitable base year to support your conclusions is quite a useful trick that we should all learn.

An unsuspecting reader will be completely deceived and misled by the Straits Times yet again, but thanks to the internet, we know that the statistics were fudgy at best and not an accurate reflection of the reality on the ground.
The trick lies in the base year used in the computation of the statistics, according to Reform Party member Hazel Poa.


Ms Poa is a former PSC scholar and a senior civil servant in the <leo_highlight style="border-bottom: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 150); background-color: transparent; background-image: none; background-repeat: repeat; background-attachment: scroll; background-position: 0% 50%; -moz-background-size: auto auto; cursor: pointer; display: inline; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" id="leoHighlights_Underline_0" onclick="leoHighlightsHandleClick('leoHighlights_Underline_0')" onmouseover="leoHighlightsHandleMouseOver('leoHighlights_Underline_0')" onmouseout="leoHighlightsHandleMouseOut('leoHighlights_Underline_0')" leohighlights_keywords="ministry" leohighlights_url_top="http%3A//shortcuts.thebrowserhighlighter.com/leonardo/plugin/highlights/3_1/tbh_highlightsTop.jsp?keywords%3Dministry%26domain%3Dforums.delphiforums.com" leohighlights_url_bottom="http%3A//shortcuts.thebrowserhighlighter.com/leonardo/plugin/highlights/3_1/tbh_highlightsBottom.jsp?keywords%3Dministry%26domain%3Dforums.delphiforums.com" leohighlights_underline="true">Ministry</leo_highlight> of Finance before venturing out herself to start her own business.


The statistics used by Mr Mah appeared to be so because the prices of resale HDB flats are low and remain stagnant during the years 2000 – 2006:

Errhh, nothing new, this is similar to stocks comparison, you might have beaten the index in the past few years and made money but in the long run (since 1999), you have lost money ...
To be fair, the comparison should be done like what they do for stocks - take any 10 year period and any year as the starting baseline.

I keep wonder why no sinkies ever put 3 news together and ask mr ministar.

1) ministar say the housing planning is good and house remain very affordable.
2) authorithy say the land price must bring maximum return to gahmen (but gahmen not return the money to people la)
3) the foreigner singers come to help raise money in sinkieland say they bought 2 and 1 units each in private property

So the miss poa, can ask you, got statistics on "investment" land housing against HDB housing built in these years against say, income and demand?

Then got ask gahmen, the foreigner can buy house in sinkieland, got what rules? Can one shot buy 10-20 and leave empty while push sinkies out of the market? and same time the land become "investment" by foreigner and sinkies not have the HDB which can build in the lands?

ministar got statistics for houses bought and left empty (just check the PUB bills) or rent out only, break down by private pty, foreigner own and sinkie own?

'So I ask, what are you questioning? Am I telling lies or fudging the figures? Which part is wrong? Point it out to me,' Mr Mah says.

Hahahhahaa are you saying the short ministar is an eunuch???

Why is it since I have posted over the internet that citizens serf 's salary are too low .

That they now bother to even question why ?

I think he used data based on a 10 yrs study and not creative thinking to manipulate the data. U are giving MBT too much credit for being creative. Most org dun release things in odd numbers like 8 or 9 yr study as proposed by the the first 2 revision done by the user.

I think it will be a good idea if someone took a 5 yr study plus the one since the last election and shoot this back at MBT and see what he has to say
