    By guest contributor Gerald Tay

    I'm a cautiously optimistic investor, who would

    rather see money on the table today, than

    have an over-realistic expectation or try to

    make godly predictions of an unknownfuture. As an investor, I avoid trying to be a

    future trend predictor, a 'fortune-telling' guru

    or think I possess psychic powers. Trying to

    be either will simply make me lose sleep

    every night. Worrying or thinking about what's

    going to happen tomorrow with so manychanges happening will put unnecessary

    pressure on my limited brain capacity.

    Where Will Property Prices Go From Here?

    Recently within a short span of time, there

    were many new policies announced by the

    government, from the seventh round of

    property cooling measures, the population

    growth projections, future GDP growth,enhanced used of land for businesses and

    residential, new MRT networks, population

    ageing, and productivity growth.

    How will these policies affect property prices

    in future? Well, for starters, Ill bet my last

    dollar that in the coming years ahead, there

    will be many sales predators using these new

    policies as killing tools to hunt down

    unwitting prey in our rich property savannah.

    The difficulty of making forecasts based

    on policies

    Firstly, its very hard or near impossible to

    pinpoint any specific or even range of

    policies that may cause property prices to

    fall or rise per se. Due to our extremely

    volatile property market (besides Hong Kong)

    and being an open economy since 1965,

    there are many highly complex variables that

    work concurrently and we can neverdetermine what will affect our property market

    specifically.

    Previously in my articles, I remarked that

    'experts and 'gurus' in the media who often try

    to predict the unknown future (and with so

    much unrealistic positivity) are no more

    intelligent than you and me. There are huge

    differences between someone becoming a

    visionary like Li Ka Shing and Donald trump,

    an amateur who tries to be or thinks he can

    be one, and someone selling snake oil to

    unwitting buyers who think it is a life elixir.

    The many complex variables involved in the

    rise or fall of property prices are simply too

    many, i.e. interest rates, open economy,

    currency exchange rates, government

    policies, population growth, world economy,

    regional stability, liquidity, money supply,

    investment inflows and outflows, local bank

    lending policies, foreign bank to bank lendingpolicies, MAS policies, land supply, market

    psychology, equity and commodity markets,

    etc.

    The irrational behaviour of property

    prices

    In the past, especially in Singapore and Hong

    Kong, when the land supply goes up, property

    prices go up rather than come down as

    opposed to the simple economics theory of

    demand and supply. Governments, Property

    Developers and Banks cash in on thisopportunity.

    And are you aware that this property price

    rise is nota fundamental growth phenomenon

    but rather a pure inflationary growth

    phenomenon caused primarily by hot money

    inflows which may very well disappear once

    an unexpected financial crisis erupts? The

    Asian financial crisis, 2008 crisis, andSpain/USA/Greece/Dubai/Iceland housing

    crashes are some good examples.

    Are you also aware that it does not take a

    high interest rate of 4% and above to see a

    fall in property prices? A mere 2-3% is more

    than sufficient based on historical data. In

    short, the property prices we are paying today

    may go up in value on paper, but to say if

    there is a realbuyer in future who is willing to

    fork out a higher price is still a question that

    needs to be asked by any savvy investors.

    Are you paying up today for tomorrows

    capital gains?

    It will depend on those many unknown

  • 7/29/2019 Singapore Property Weekly Issue 90

    6/18

    SINGAPORE PROPERTY WEEKLY Issue 90

    Page | 5Back to Contents

    variables like future supply of dollars/money

    in the market which we wont know in

    advance. What we are paying today may

    already be the inflated price of tomorrow with

    little or zero capital gains. A clear example is

    the many properties that were bought by

    unwitting buyers at a high during 1996, which

    cannot even break even after 17 years today!

    In my personal opinion, to boost economic

    growth and GDP numbers to compensate forthe tremendous economic loss (and taxes)

    between 2000 to 2005, during the 2008

    financial crisis and for the future anaemic

    GDP growth of only 1% to 3% from now to

    2030 as compared to a previous 8% a year

    on average, the government has takenadvantage of a huge GDP growth on the back

    of foreign migrants to collect vast amount of

    taxes through rising property prices between

    2009 and 2012.

    This uneven growth has benefited some, but

    has also created high inflation that affects

    many ordinary Singaporeans from home

    prices to daily expenses. Home prices shot

    up and many could not afford a new home.

    Those who sold their homes to profit from the

    capital appreciation were forced to rent for an

    unknown period, hoping that prices would fall

    to saner levels before buying again. But

    prices kept going up, up and up.

    Where will prices head?

    Many readers have asked, where will prices

    head to? Up or down in the next few years?

    My honest answer: I don't know or rather, I

    can only predict with no more accuracy than

    those experts in the media. In other words, Ican be wrong and they can be wrong; I can

    be right and they can be wrong; they can be

    right, I can be wrong; vice versa.

    Nobody can give a bulls eye answer or even

    come close to the outcome of the future.

    Secondly, 2030 is 17 years from today.

    What are we expecting? Will prices to

    continue to go up from now because of all

    the recent policy announcements like

    more MRT networks? Will prices always go

    up in future and not fall? Will buyers who buy

    today be able sell at a profit in year 2030 and

    use the proceeds to fund their retirement?

    Are buyers expecting the same kind of

    tremendous capital appreciation of the

    booming 1970s to 1990s period of a growing

    Singapore economy with average GDP

    growth of 8%, while in the next 17 years, an

    anaemic GDP growth of 1% to 3% is

    expected? Are investors expecting the

    World/Asian economy to continue to be like

    2009 to 2012 in the years ahead? Are buyers

    hoping to retire comfortably with their homes

    by 2030 expecting a still booming economy

    by then, or will we become another Japan,

    Spain, USA, Greece and many other

    countries where many retirees cannot retire

    because they were too highly dependent ontheir increasing home values to provide for

    their retirement and it turn out completely

    otherwise?

    The precarious position Singapore is in

    Our position is very precarious because aslong as the world economy is healthy we are

    in business. What will happen to a small

    economy like Singapore if there is a world-

    wide recession and worse, a prolonged one?

    That's why I always emphasise on buying any

    property for immediate rental today (as

    opposed to new launches, or to buy, hold and

    pray for prices to go up), as I believe that

    apart from the fact that real returns are

    SINGAPORE PROPERTY WEEKLY I 90

  • 7/29/2019 Singapore Property Weekly Issue 90

    8/18

    SINGAPORE PROPERTY WEEKLY Issue 90

    Page | 7Back to Contents

    higher, rental rates will also go up faster than

    property prices in the future, especially due to

    the urgent need for many lower-skilled foreign

    workers (for jobs which many highly educated

    Singaporeans are not willing to do in future) inthe services/manufacturing industries which

    are the core economic drivers.

    The most favourable investment tip of the

    day for many unwitting investors is with

    limited land and a growing population,

    property prices can only go up in future. As

    you can see by now, before concluding

    unwisely that the rise or fall in property values

    are primarily due to these two variables, we

    cannot simply pin it to a demand/supply of

    limited land and population growth alone.

    The Singapore Government is facing a

    dilemma balancing between growth versus

    inflation, and growth versus social stability.

    Not surprising, since housing was one of the

    most hotly debated issues at the last

    elections. Whether or not you should play the

    waiting game, depends entirely on whether

    you have the time and money to wait, or not

    wait.

    Things to think about when buying a home

    Your home, for example, is a personal

    consumer choice, rather than an investment.

    Use affordability and personal lifestyle

    choices to make that buying decision.However, when buying as an investment, it's

    an entirely different ballgame and you need to

    separate that as two different issues.

    Some readers want to hear only favourable

    answers, and not a view that is opposite to

    what they think. Some are not realistic and

    not willing to accept the truth. My article is not

    meant to offend anyone, but rather, I hope to

    convey the realistic truth,

    that being cautiously optimistic is a lot

    smarter than being totally unrealistic on future

    expectation of property prices.

    Over the last 50 years, especially after the2008 financial crisis, the world has changed

    rapidly and is still constantly changing.

    Investment strategies that have been applied

    successfully in the last 20 to 30 years may no

    longer be applicable in the more volatile

    economic years ahead. We must change tosuit the times, failing which it may lead to dire

    financial consequences.

    Heres my Rule of Thumb: Buy to make

    money today, not by selling tomorrow.

    Take care of the bad times, and let the

    good times take care of themselves.

    By guest contributor Gerald Tay, CEO of

    CREI Academy Group, who exposes widely-

    held property investment myths that have

    proven highly ineffective in creating wealth,

    and prevent a comfortable retirement for the

    ordinary investor.

    Property Buying Tip #4: CPF Component

    (Reference: www.cpf.gov.sg)

    The Central Provident Fund (CPF) is a

    comprehensive social security savings plan

    that has provided many working

    Singaporeans with a sense of security and

    confidence in their old age.

    The savings in the Ordinary Account can be

    used to buy a home, pay for CPF insurance,

    investment and education. But only

    immediate family members (e.g. spouse,

    parents, children and siblings) can jointly buy

    property with their CPFs. Married persons

    can only buy property with their immediate

    family members if using CPF.

    For non-related singles (i.e. unmarried, legally

    divorced or widowed), they can jointly use

    their CPFs to purchase one property (Public

    housing/HDB flat or private property) provided

    they are currently NOT using their CPFs for

    any existing property.

    When buying more than one property, you

    must set aside half of the prevailing Minimum

    Sum before you can use the excess savings

    in the Ordinary Account and the SpecialAccount for the second and subsequent

    properties.

    There is a limit on how much CPF you can

    withdraw to service the mortgage loan over

    the total mortgage period. This is currently set

    at 120% of the purchase price or valuation of

    the property at the time of purchase,

    whichever is lower, for the first property. It is

    set at 100% for the second and subsequent

    properties.

    For property with a remaining lease of at least

    30 years but less than 60 years, the

    withdrawal limit is the ratio of the remaining

    lease of the property when the youngest

    owner is 55 years old, to the lease at the

    point of purchase. For property with

    remaining lease less than 30 years, CPF

    cannot be used. Please refer to the CPF

    website for more details.

    You cannot use CPF to buy non-residential or

    commercial property such as shops, factories

    and office spaces. An incorporated company

    cannot use its shareholders CPF to invest in

    properties.

    Residential

    99-year leasehold Queenstown private

    housing site attracts 3 bids

    The 1.2 ha site located at Commonwealth

    Avenue opposite the Queenstown MRT

    Station attracted only three bids, with the top

    bid of $562.8 million, or $883 psf ppr. While

    the bid prices were within expectations, the

    number of bids attracted fell below

    expectations since it was expected to attract

    five to 10 bids given the fact that strata

    landed homes could be built on it and the

    popularity of homes in the Queenstown area.

    However, with the recent cooling measures

    and the upcoming supply from nearby sites,

    some developers might have chosen not tobid for the site. The site can potentially yield

    700 units in a condominium of over 40

    storeys given its 4.9 GPR. The estimated

    breakeven price and selling price are $1,300-

    1,350 psf and $1,550-1,600 psf respectively.

    Better quality for the next generation of

    HDB flats

    The next generation of HDB flats will look like

    those in Punggol South. Each precinct

    consists of 1,000 and 3,000 homes and has a

    high GPR of 3-3.5 which would mean that

    there will be more units available.

    There will also be a neighbourhood park of

    0.4-0.7 ha in size within walking distance of

    each block in a precinct, unlike the parks in

    older estates which serves more households.

    In addition, to save space, some carparksmake up the first few floors of a block and

    gardens were also built on the rooftops of

    integrated carparks.

    Housing Developers (Control andLicensing) (Amendment) Bill provides

    more transparency

    Under the amendment, developers are

    required to submit information on sales

    transactions in their projects (including

    purchase price and agreements such as

    reimbursements) that might be published or

    used for compilations, analysis, research

    studies or surveys. This will ensure that the

    caveats logged reflects true property values

    since the prices for caveats logged usually

    does not include reimbursements or

    vouchers. In addition, the showflats

    presentation will also be regulated, and thecriteria for granting licences to developers

    tightened. Fines will also be increased by five

    times while offences under the Act and

    subsidiary legislations would be compounded.

    Getting private home loans may be more

    difficult

    While MAS have not extended the restriction

    of the mortgage servicing ratio (MSR) to 30%

    to private home loans, it has advised financial

    institutions to do so to encourage prudence.

    In addition, broader rules on the debt

    servicing ratio (DSR) will be introduced.

    Private resale transaction volumes rose

    16.7% in January

    As a result of buyers trying to avoid the latest

    cooling measures, the private resale volumes

    saw a 16.7% increase from December 2012

    to 920 deals. The OCR saw the highestincrease of 30% to 501 units, followed by the

    17% increase to 229 units in the RCR. The

    resale volumes in the CCR, on the other

    hand, fell by 9% to 109 units in January.

    Meanwhile, prices of homes in the RCR and

    OCR increased by 2.5% and 1.1% in Januaryto reach $1,256 psf and $997 psf respectively

    while prices of homes in the CCR fell by 2.9%

    to $1,878 psf. While the transaction volume in

    February is expected to remain lacklustre,

    stable prices could attract buyers and bring it

    up again.

    Meanwhile, the HDB resale market is seen to

    be stabilising, with the slight increase of COV

    by $1,000 to $34,000 and the slip in overall

    median resale price by 0.7% to $457,000.This

    attributed to the lowered MSR and the

    upcoming 23,000 HDB flats in 2013. An

    estimated 1,500 resale flats were sold in

    January, down from the monthly average of

    1,560 in Q4 2012 while the HDB median rents

    remained at $2,400. Looking ahead, COVs

    can potentially fall by up to 10% in 2013.

    Commercial

    Industrial sites continue to draw interest

    A 30-year leasehold 3.96-ha plot at Tuas with

    Hock Group. Zoned for B2 development, its

    popularity is attributed to its size and its

    potential for development of both strata-landed

    factories and multi-storey factories.

    Another plot which drew much interest is a 22-year-and-5-month leasehold 0.3-ha plot with a

    1.0 GPR in Tuas South Street 8 which attracted

    13 bids with the top bid of $2.4 million or

    $73.45 psf ppr from Boilermaster Holdings. The

    site zoned B2 cannot be strata-subdivided

    within five years of the TOP.

    The third is a 30 year leasehold 0.35-ha plot

    with a 2.5 GPR at Ubi Avenue 4 which attracted

    10 bids with the top bid of $16.2 million or

    $172.00 psf ppr from Boustead Singapore's

    BP-Ubi Industrial. Its popularity is attributed to

    the lack of B1 sites as well as its location. It

    cannot be strata-subdivided within 10 years of

    the TOP.
