Why this index?
In Singapore, there is no official buyer-driven (not developer-driven) index to show Buyers' Attitude for residential properties. This forum is the best place to fill in that gap.
How does it work?
Everyone is entitled for one vote, the index is calculated by:
the percentage of bulls - percentage of bears
(Please vote even if you are neutral because it will change the overall percentage scores).
Historical Numbers:
Quarter, Votes, Index
Q4 2012, 65, +12
Q1 2013, 35, +6
Q2 2013, 56, 0
Q3, 2013, 59, -34
Q4, 2013, 53, -45
Q1, 2014, 45, -33
Q2, 2014, 43, -44
Q3, 2014, 48, -19
Q4, 2014, 29, +14
Q1, 2015, 29, +7
Q2, 2015, 20, +15
Q3, 2015, 16, +56
Q4, 2015, 7, +28
Q1, 2016, 12, +34
Q2, 2016, 16, +32
Q3, 2016, 16, +81
(The max of the index is 100, the minimum of the index is -100)
Collectively, we have once again "forecasted" a major policy direction shift (ok, tweak, "not cooling" measure). The window opportunity for TDSR-driven bargin hunt might have gone. While the main stream media is continuously reporting about a massive TOP supply for Year 2016/2017, the pipeline units for new sale have indeed shrank. On the other hand, a global financial crisis is on its way. So is it a good time to buy singapore residential properties?Your votes will tell.
Thanks,
Richard
