Due to PE involvement, I had put this subject aside for about 2 mths, although I am following up on my own the various developments. The reason being I would not recommend a buy yet, no hurry; especially for private properties. (Only exception being starters for smaller BTO)I had warned all of the external "driver" to watch, and it seems like things are shaping up ... The focus of my writing is mainly on the mid-range properties and the middle-income earners.De Leviathan @ Sghttp://de-leviathan.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086009245893165129.post-10259160723336653112011-09-07T13:17:34.760+08:002011-09-07T13:17:34.760+08:00Will you be posting any articles on the state of h...Will you be posting any articles on the state of housing in Singapore?<br /><br />Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086009245893165129.post-2487118047894047372011-08-24T15:12:53.913+08:002011-08-24T15:12:53.913+08:00What do you really expect from Mr Tony Oily Tan.

I had ment...Thanks for your interest in this blog.<br /><br />I had mentioned probably somewhere in this Blog or in separate email replies to those who emailed me that the overall direction of the market would be :-<br /><br />(a) For private properties - to watch external economic drivers. What you just said about the US economy and US$ is very true, and I am also watching. Today's ST article [Singapore 'likely to be hit'if US defaults] which I re-posted a link in this Blog best described it.<br /><br />The second driver I am keenly watching is the "China economy". I visited last year end and also last month again to have a better feel. Both property markets seem to be in the same "stupor". H/E there are unique and distinct differences in the mechanics of both markets, which I will not elaborate here.<br /><br />What is causing causing this "stupor" is probably similar to after the Great Depression...it could drag sidewards for say two years starting with the LB crisis in 2009; but even lengthen due to crisis this year like the Japan Earthquake and Nuclear Leak crisis and probably the Eurozone too.<br /><br />Imminently watch for the US Meeting next Thursday.QE3 etc?<br /><br />Local factors will only bring about a small correction in price. Also to watch the MRT EAST and Thomson lines (station locations) for a boost in price.<br /><br />(b) For HDB related properties, the prices is policy-centric after GE 2011. I expect the fate of DBSS to have impact on the lower end of the mass market condo price spectrum.<br /><br />You may email for specific discussion.De Leviathan @ Sghttp://de-leviathan.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086009245893165129.post-65938277210347583772011-07-28T23:17:10.320+08:002011-07-28T23:17:10.320+08:00Hello

I've been waiting for the last few years to buy a property for my own stay in Singapore at a reasonable price. However, property prices seem to have become irrationally high. While it seems illogical to expect the market to not correct, I dont see any signs of the market correcting (perhaps due to excess liquidity in the market). I believe only policy action or an economic shock could do this now. What do you think is likely to happen in 2011 to the property market? I know the US is on a knife-edge with the likelihood of a credit rating downgrade (if not a default) and that could be the Black Swan event.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086009245893165129.post-40351266097112541492011-07-26T15:05:44.262+08:002011-07-26T15:05:44.262+08:00Its true.

It's been more of a "spray and pray" method which is rather haphazard. But there's no denying that his values and communications outreach has been better online than mainstream. He however needs to correct the impression that he's not committed enough. <br /><br />TCB has a clear campaign from start - as being a healer and unifying figure. His supporters has always been quite steady and consistently building up his causes/values - all well articulated. But why does he choose to run as President now, his motivation is still hidden. I feel we haven't got there yet. And what are his views on Nathan presidency ? Did anything in the last 12 yrs he has saw might have given him the impetus to be the people's president or is it merely just from the recent GE? He's been largely silent too until the GE where he started to make a comment about "no blank cheque" that really got netizens' notice. He's to keep peeling the onion. <br /><br />As for TT. He has not platform. Basically, PM Lee has stolen TCB's tagline and make it his (PAP) own. Calling TT the real deal thus denouncing TCB the imposter! The bottom line is - he's the real GIC experience running reserves (unlike some insurance executive) and he's the unifying figure that will bring both "honor & credit" to SG. As if we're voting for an International embassador which we're not, and that the other two will not have the same effect - thus indirectly trying to shade them in a less than admirable shame. All we can say is - shame on you PAP. This tactics doesnt work anymore.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086009245893165129.post-79154418032931870792011-06-01T18:09:42.847+08:002011-06-01T18:09:42.847+08:00We do not even need all three together to create a...We do not even need all three together to create a multi years correction. Falling demand, more supply and worsening unemployment and just the recognition that housing is not an investment will lead to it.
