SINGAPORE: Following the introduction of cooling measures last year, Singapore’s property market is now "more sober" with early signs of slower price increases and lower transaction volumes.

 

This was according to Mr Ravi Menon, managing director of the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), who added that the measures still need time to work their way through.

When asked if the Government would, in the near future, relax the cooling measures introduced last year to the property market, MAS managing director Ravi Menon said the measures were implemented only a year ago and it takes time to allow them to work their way. But price increase has dampened and the market is more sober, and there is a good balance holding up the market.

Recently, Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) has released 1Q2016 statistics and it clearly shows that our property market is still weak and can potentially see further price correction, in consumer’s favour.

The prolonged price struggle between property developers and consumers has occurred since the introduction of the total debt servicing ratio (TDSR) and developers are growing weary, as the end does not seem to be anywhere near (kudos to the government).

Additional Buyer Stamp Duty (ABSD)

From late 2011, property developers have to develop all residential site that they buy and then ensure that the units are 100% sold within 5 years. Failing that, developers have to pay ABSD of 10% on the purchase price of the site. For sites bought from 12 Jan 2013, they will have to incur higher ABSD of 15%.

After another year of subdued home buying activity, property analysts warned that the Republic’s private residential property market may be in for tougher times in 2016 as the lacklustre economic environment is likely to depress sentiment further.

Adding to the woes is the United States Federal Reserve’s decision to start normalising interest rates, which is expected to keep prospective buyers on the sidelines as they adjust to the new reality. That, coupled with existing property curbs, could cause prices to fall by up to 8 per cent in the next 12 months, analysts told TODAY.

Residential prices will have to fall by as much as 15 per cent before the Government considers relaxing the property cooling measures, economists say.

They note that while home prices have come down, they still have some way to fall before a change of policy can be triggered, although the moves on interest rates in the United States may have some bearing as well.

What does the future hold for Singapore’s property market?

According to a recent Savills report, the outlook remains challenging for the rest of 2014, and this is expected to continue over the next six years.

The report looked at how 12 world cities would perform in 2020 and gave a tough assessment of Singapore.

Recent cooling measures have clipped the wings of the once-soaring private property market in Singapore.

Tough measures such as a total debt servicing framework, which restricts a borrower’s monthly debt repayments to at most 60 per cent of his gross monthly income, has driven some buyers to aim for smaller homes with cheaper total prices.

Here's a look at how private home sales and prices have changed with each round of curbs.

James Hee, a property agent who lives with his family of four in a government-built flat he owns in Singapore, was eyeing a condo for about S$1.5 million ($1.2 million) earlier this year. Then Hee discovered that he wouldn’t qualify for a mortgage after the government restricted lending.

“Being self-employed, only 70 percent of what I earn is considered for the loan calculation, and with my car loan I can’t get the amount I would need to upgrade,” Hee, 32, said.

Prime residential property prices in Singapore saw the sharpest decline over the past year out of the 32 cities profiled in Knight Frank's latest Prime global Cities Index.

Prices fell 7.7 percent in the 12 months to June 14, the index showed, with much of the declines taking place recently as Singapore prices fell 6.4 percent in the three months to June 14.

RESALE prices and rents for private homes both tumbled to fresh lows last month as the property market slowdown deepened.

The declines underscore a downward trend that has been evident in the residential market since tougher cooling measures and home loan restrictions were rolled out last year, and consultants believe the gloom is unlikely to lift any time soon.

Singapore's central bank said it’s too early to ease property restrictions after prices in Asia's second-most expensive housing market fell for three straight quarters.

Real estate prices “remain at elevated levels,” Ravi Menon, managing director of the Monetary Authority of Singapore, said at the release of its annual report today. “It’s very important that we secure the gains that we’ve made in stabilizing the market and restoring financial prudence.”

Singapore’s property stocks fell for the first time in eight days as the central bank signaled its determination to extend a campaign that began in 2009 and included tighter mortgage rules and extra taxes. Residential values in the island-state dropped for a third quarter in the three months through June, the longest losing streak in five years.

Home prices are likely to fall further before the government rolls back the property cooling measures which were imposed since 2009, according to Standard Chartered in media reports.

“You would start to take away some of these measures if price growth reaches a certain level of equilibrium,” said the bank’s CEO for ASEAN, Lim Cheng Teck. However, he believes this is not the case yet.

Chesterton Singapore’s Managing Director Donald Han also holds a similar view: “It’s still too early to remove curbs. The government will monitor but their fingers won’t be pressing any buttons at this point in time.”

Only 480 new private housing units were sold in March, compared to 739 units in February and 572 in January, pushing the total sales volume for Q1 2014 to 1,791 units, or the lowest quarterly level since late-2009, revealed a Savills report.

The low number of transactions is due to sluggish sales at new project launches, except for The Hillford which sold all of its 281 units, Riverbank @ Fernvale (84 percent of 211 units sold), RiverTrees Residences (73 percent or 218 units sold) and The Panorama (48 percent of 58 units sold). The 52-unit Cluny Park Residence also saw healthy interest prior to its official launch. 

"In the secondary market, Savills analysis of caveats show that 1,010 private residential properties changed hands in the first three months of the year, representing a quarter-on-quarter fall of 26.8 percent." On an annual basis, sales volumes slumped 57.9 percent from 2,397 units in Q1 2013. 

Despite the lacklustre sales, 13 residential projects are expected to be released in the next six months, including Pollen & Bleu on Farrer Drive, New Futura on Leonie Hill Road, Gramercy Park on Grange Road and Robin Residences on Robin Road.

Fewer flat owners are jumping at the chance to sell their Housing Board unit once they can, as weak resale prices make it more worthwhile to hold on.
 
Two years ago, almost one in five of those who turned eligible to sell their flat - having stayed for the minimum five years - promptly did so within the year.
 
But last year, amid a cooling market, only 5.5 per cent who had met the minimum occupation period (MOP) did so.
Of 8,521 possible flats, 470 changed hands within a year of meeting MOP, HDB figures showed.
