Are Private Housing Prices Still Affordable In Singapore Properties ?
With the economy back on track in a slow yet assured way, property players are rushing back to the red hot Singapore real estate market. The market is flushed with bullish sentiments and property developers have been busy adjusting up their prices in their daily advertisement. You can't help but starting to pay attention, only to come to the conclusion that the prices are beyond you.
Are the current real estate prices reasonable? Are there really enough crazy buyers out there to support such price levels? Or have you been slackening and you accumulation of wealth and income has not been able to keep pace with the property prices?
To have a better sense on what is going around on the property market; let's begin by checking on how property news/prices are relayed to you. If you are not a major and active real estate player, chances are you have to be reliant on secondary sources such as media for your property update. Media like newspaper, radio and TV, all inadvertently play a role in helping us shape your belief.
We are not suggesting that our media has been responsible for inaccurate reporting. Rather we are aware of the fact media exists to disseminate 'newsworthy' and interesting reports. A grand and mega project that runs into hundreds of millions in development cost would easily snatch the headlines from the more decent real estate development. The fact remains that, in all reality, for one super-scale mega project, there are probably a number of more modest launches that do not make headlines materials.
Advertisements paid for by glamorous developers represent another reason in a similar way. These super-scale luxury housing advertisements of Marina and Sentosa enclaves, for instance, are targeting those very rich foreigners and locals. It makes sense that these are priced with a premium and are generally not meant for average Singaporeans.
Of course, resale prices for privately owner-occupied properties are obviously lower than those advertised at the new launches.But few people are aware of them as the lack of 'newsworthiness' elements.For the average guys among us, the new launch prices are what making news within our circles.
One other reason that helps to form this belief is that the 2007 real estate boom is still fresh in the Singaporeans' minds.Again these properties are not aimed at the average Singaporeans. With the integrated resorts as backdrop, many developers have taken their cues and gone on to launch a number of super-luxurious and super-exclusive projects in great fanfare, and to massive successes in drawing in record number of overseas investors.
In all reality, the private real estate market is not going to stay static as inflation is a natural element in any economy. But, still, there a number of modestly priced private properties around Singapore. The suburb properties, just for comparison, have only registered a single digit increase in price in the past ten years. It is only up to you to tweak your aspiration and look out for them. - 23167
