The property curbs over the past few years have slowed home lending and are squeezing speculators out of the market, the central bank said yesterday.
But it warned that prices remain high, mortgage debt is still rising and some households could be hit if interest rates rise.
Home loans grew 12 per cent in September from the same month last year, down from a peak of 22 per cent growth in September 2010, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) said in its Financial Stability Review 2013 report.
