View Full Version : Who thinks showroom will be pack this weekend?
Who thinks showroom will be pack this weekend or the next few wkends for major launches
The buying is coming back. It takes a while for the cooling measure effect to wear off and buyers are actually back. I really don't see a drop in prices anytime now... Because of ECG bond buying and QE. Stocks on a run now, retail sentiments are up, and manufacturing for this month is up.
So, yes, I think showroom will be pack.
$1 mil HDB and QE3 have set the stage. They will be filled with at least some people most of the time all the way to next year...
Paper money is worthless now. Lower/no income group is in trouble. I hope the government will do a bit more for them.

Corp bond prices already up in Singapore ... now 15y 3.65% is the NORM
Even Genting perpetual bond is now priced at 1.025
I am thinking to get one MM as investment now. Preferably lower than 400kSGD.
I dun think there is any MM below 400k. The last launch with 398k was Parc Rosewood.
The new launch at riversails might be closest to your budget. :beats-me-man:

People will still continue to buy.
Those who have not bought yet start to panick and will seriously consider buying.
I feel so sick with the rocketing price, not for myself but for the next generation.
How are my kids going to afford a place to stay when they just graduate in future?
My plan is to have 2 extra condo which can act as a back up plan for them should they not be able to afford a place on their own when they first start out.
I told them that when they get married, they will be on their own. Cannot stay with me.
My daughter said in that case, she will not get married.

Seems like most people here think prices will keep on going up. The massive group thinking will just make price go up and up as people will start to think they will lose out to inflation if dont buy.
More cooling measures on the way... 50% LTV?Foreigners cannot buy like HK?

Just set leaselife for all future GLS plots at 60 yrs PLUS reject all applications for extension of 99 yrs leashold properties. Net effect...generate more units to meet demand whilst still achieving a lower psf price !!!

In the last two weeks, we went around to see properties with a view to buy one for my son.
One very noticable trend is :
1. Town houses in the condo are moving very fast with only a few left here and there. These are in the range of $3m+
2. Many cheques been collected for new launches
3. new showflats are very packed....majority are in their 30+ and 40+
4. balance units from the existing new projects are moving too fast to believe.
Look like, I must buy alr....cannot wait...
people like Ah Tan is buying his fifth property soon and Ah B disappeared.

Unemployment & layoffs in S'pore down in 2nd quarter
SINGAPORE: Unemployment in Singapore has declined, reversing the slight increase a quarter ago.
The Manpower Ministry (MOM) said this is thanks to more jobs being created in the second quarter of this year, while layoffs eased for the second successive quarter.
These are the key findings from the "Labour Market, Second Quarter 2012" report released by the Ministry of Manpower's Research and Statistics Department.
Total employment grew by 31,700 in the second quarter of 2012, higher than the gains of 24,800 in the same period last year and 27,200 in the first quarter of 2012.
Cumulatively, employment rose by 58,900 in the first half of 2012, compared with the increase of 53,100 in the corresponding period of 2011.
Services contributed 17,300 jobs, the majority of employment gains in the second quarter of 2012. But this eased from the same period last year where there was a gain of 19,300 jobs in the services industry.
For the seventh successive quarter, growth in construction workforce accelerated, supported by public infrastructure projects.
In manufacturing, employment grew by 4,700, as gains led by petroleum, chemical and pharmaceutical products outnumbered the declines mainly in electronic, computer and optical products.
MOM said amid the strong employment creation, unemployment declined in June 2012, after the slight rise a quarter ago.
The seasonally adjusted overall unemployment rate dipped over the quarter by 0.1 per cent to 2.0 per cent in June, erasing the increase in March.
The rate for residents and citizens declined by 0.2 per cent to 2.8 per cent and 3.0 per cent respectively.
The long-term unemployment rate was unchanged over the year at 0.7 per cent.
Some 15,700, or 20 per cent of the unemployed residents had been looking for work for at least 25 weeks in June 2012, similar to 15,500 or 19 per cent a year ago.
Layoffs fell for the second successive quarter, after rising in the fourth quarter of 2011.
2,210 workers were made redundant in the second quarter of 2012, down from 2,600 in the first quarter of 2012 and 3,250 in the fourth quarter of 20111.
Based on CPF records, three in five residents laid off in the first quarter of 2012 found a job by June 2012.
This re-entry rate into employment within six months of redundancy rose from the 50 per cent experienced by the previous cohort in March 2012.
Amid the subdued global economic outlook, the number of job vacancies declined over the year by 15 per cent to 47,300 in June 2012.
After adjusting for seasonality, job openings fell over the quarter by 8.9 per cent to 45,600.
This was the second consecutive quarter of decline after hitting the high of 55,400 in December 2011.

I have been looking around for the past 1 mth and the market has really started moving up aggressively over the past 2 weeks. Units are being done at record prices and many taken at asking prices. Will start showing up in caveats soon.

If all these smart gurus can group together & open a property investment business, you will 'HUAT' big time. Dont dream & wait, analyse. Go meet up & action.
How old is your daughter? I told my son to get marry ASAP, I got 2 Bedroom, 3 Bedroom PH or 5 room HDB waiting for him.
What if rush to marry and separate later.
Does spouse get half the properties?

I believe when a man think of getting marry early, he got more time and larger pool of lady to look for his love.
When he is old, those good one already marry and those leftover may give the man more problem.

Sorry what I meant is a hurried decision, whether you are old or young, could lead to separation.
Anyway the question was in the event of separation, how does the current laws treat joint ownership of properties?
After so much Tcss, can anyone give a field report which show flats r crowded with pple, anyone shouting no 50% in 2015 no buy. Thanks

Prices will go crazy again. Sharing a joke below on self-fulfilling prophecy (that may not turn out to be true) that also applies to the property craze now when everyone believes prices will go up, so be careful :)
It was autumn, and the Indians on the remote reservation asked their new Chief if the winter was going to be cold or mild. Since he was a new Indian Chief in a modern society, he had never been taught the old secrets, and when he looked at the sky, he couldn't tell what the weather was going to be.
Nevertheless, to be on the safe side, he replied to his tribe that the winter was indeed going to be cold and that the members of the village should collect wood to be prepared. But also being a practical leader, after several days he got an idea. He went to the phone booth, called the National Weather Service and asked,
"Is the coming winter going to be cold?"
"It looks like this winter is going to be quite cold indeed," the meteorologist at the weather service responded.
So the Chief went back to his people and told them to collect even more wood in order to be prepared. A week later he called the National Weather Service again.
"Is it going to be a very cold winter?"
"Yes," the man at National Weather Service again replied, "it's going to be a very cold winter."
The Chief again went back to his people and ordered them to collect every scrap of wood they could find. Two weeks later he called the National Weather Service again.
"Are you absolutely sure that the winter is going to be very cold?"
"Absolutely," the man replied. "It's going to be one of the coldest winters ever."
"How can you be so sure?" the Chief asked.
The weatherman replied, "The Indians are collecting wood like crazy!"
Anyone made a purchase this weekend? Anyoneeee??
