5月10： 50,000套新屋上市，二手HDB价格可能继续下滑
By Nikki De Guzman:

Prices of resale flats could change in the coming months as 50,000 newly-built flats are handed over to their owners, said National Development Minister Khaw Boon Wan.

At a recent dialogue session, he noted that the government has indirect influence on home prices even if buyers and sellers are the ones who set the trends.

Attended by over 40 participants, the dialogue focused on housing issues, reported My Paper.

Mr Khaw also clarified his previous comments on the executive condominium (EC) scheme, stating that they were wrongly reported. He said that it was not about the money EC owners could make when selling their properties, but the subsidy they get from the government as compared to other new flat buyers.

He explained that even if EC units are bought from developers, the land is still from the government, restricting them to build ECs and not private condominiums.

“This market subsidy, compared to the subsidy given to someone who buys a (new non-EC) three- or four-room flat, is much more,” said Mr Khaw, adding that it would be unfair if a higher-earning EC buyer receives a larger subsidy compared to someone who earns less and purchases a new non-EC flat.

Separately, the Minister also visited two HDB blocks in his constituency to distribute dengue-prevention leaflets in line with on-going awareness against the problem.

With the introduction of recent property curbs, prices of luxury homes in Singapore are expected to fall by up to five percent for the rest of the year, according to Jones Lang LaSalle.

Prices in the first quarter fell by 0.6 percent quarter-on-quarter, and 4.3 percent year-on-year.

“The Singapore high-end residential market continues to face price corrections especially with the 7th round of cooling measures introduced by the government in January this year. Policy affect coupled with slower population and economic growth are likely to continue to add downside pressure to capital values albeit moderately,” said Chua Yang Liang, Research Head for Singapore and South East Asia at Jones Lang LaSalle.

“Growth in prices of mass market homes (was) significantly slower while new sales volume has also dropped as recent data released by the Urban Redevelopment Authority has shown. This also has effectively narrowed the price gap between high and mass market homes which is likely to lend price support to the high end segment in the midterm.”

The drop in private home sales in Q1 2013 was a result of the tough property cooling measures introduced in January, according to Jones Lang LaSalle.

Resale transactions of condominiums in prime districts 9, 10 and 11 declined 61 percent to 144 units during the period. Notably, foreign buyers registered the lowest level of demand since the global financial crisis. While Singaporeans had previously come to the market’s rescue, they now seem to be stepping away due to downside risks, noted the consultancy.

Supply also fell 29 percent last quarter, based on data from the Building and Construction Authority (BCA).

The latest measures have caused growth in capital values to decline greatly in the luxury prime market and only slightly in the typical prime market. Budget 2013 also mentioned higher taxes on luxury property “that will come into effect in 2014 and 2015, and this might have been priced into the first quarter’s weak capital value growth”.

Moving forward, Jones Lang LaSalle predicts that Singapore’s central bank may introduce stricter rules on the amount of capital banks must hold against residential mortgages. This would in turn “tighten the availability of credit and limit home price growth”.

Local and foreign home buying in the prime market is also expected to decline further following the seventh round of cooling measures and new property tax measures. Consequently, capital values of prime properties would fall by three to five percent in the next 12 months.
