Rents squeezed by new demand-supply scenarios

Posted by Property Launch Invest on Sunday, 30 November 2014 in Property News

RENTALS for private condos, apartments as well as HDB flats continued to come under pressure in October, latest SRX flash estimates show.

Market watchers blame this on the tightened inflow of foreign talent crimping leasing demand on the one hand and a ramp-up in private home completions. Moreover, HDB upgraders are choosing to put their flats up for rent after they have moved into their new private condos given current weak buying demand for HDB resale flats due to the 30 per cent mortgage service ratio cap.

The Principle Of Supply And Demand On Property Values

Posted by Property Launch Invest on Wednesday, 23 April 2014 in Property News

When applied to real estate, the principle of supply and demand refers to the ability of people to pay for housing coupled with the relative scarcity of real estate. For any type of good or service to have value in any marketplace, it must possess four characteristics: demand, utility, transferability and scarcity. Demand is a need or desire coupled with the purchasing power to fill it, whereas utility is the ability of a good or service to fill that need. Scarcity means there must be a short supply relative to demand. Air, for example, has utility and is in demand, but it is not scarce. Finally, a good or service must be transferable to have value to anyone other than the person possessing it.

Has 'global city' vision reached its end date?

Posted by Property Launch Invest on Tuesday, 17 December 2013 in Property News

THE Prime Minister's National Day Rally address on Aug 18 and Deputy Prime Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam's speech at the Academy of Medicine last week point to a government that might be ambling towards a new social compact. While the changes announced so far do not represent a radical departure from current approaches, there was enough of a change in the tone of their messages to suggest that further, more substantive, reforms are due.

Singapore’s population growth slowest in 9 years

Posted by Property Launch Invest on Wednesday, 11 December 2013 in Property News

Citizen population up by 0.9 per cent to 3.31 million; continues to grow older. Total population reaches 5.4 million as at end-June, a rise of 1.6 % over the last year

SINGAPORE — The total population here grew over last year at its slowest pace since 2004, partly due to tightened foreign manpower policies and weaker economic conditions. A bright spot was the Total Fertility Rate (TFR) inching up to a five-year high, thanks to the “Dragon Year effect”.

As at end-June, Singapore’s total population stood at 5.4 million — a rise of 1.6 per cent over last year.

Singapore Announces S$2 Billion Package to Increase Population

Posted by Property Launch Invest on Tuesday, 03 December 2013 in Property News

Singapore will increase spending on population-growth measures by 25 percent, rolling out incentives ranging from government-paid time off for adoption and paternity leave to funding for fertility treatments.

An annual budget of S$2 billion ($1.6 billion) will be set aside for measures including state-funded childcare leave, healthcare costs and financial support for housing to married couples, the government said in a statement today. That’s an increase from S$1.6 billion in the last package in 2008, it said.

“The enhanced package aims to provide more comprehensive support for Singaporeans in getting married and starting their families,” the government said in the statement. “Addressing our falling birth rate requires a concerted effort beyond government initiatives.”
