Let me ask you, if you are a rich indonesian, will you keep all your currency in rupiah? If you are a rich china man will you keep all your money in rmb? If you wish to keep your money in other stable currency, will you just put it in a bank or put it in pty? we do not need millions of foreigners to buy into our ptys to keep our pty prices up, just a tiny fraction is enough to drive prices up to dizzying heights. If pte property prices drop by fifty%, let me tell you nobody will want to stay in hdb liao and many of us will be buying two or 3 more ptys to keep. You scare us in 2008 that prices will plunge in 2010, now you trying to do the same.Originally Posted by basic

You didn't even answer his question on why your initial postings back in 2008 didn't come to fruition. Are you maintaining that what was mentioned previously by you is true? As in 2010 we have had properties' pricing going south by 40%?Originally Posted by basic

Even salary as well. My brother (and his gf, friends that visited him) had to personally carry wards of RMB (half his pay in HKD, half in RMB) out of Shanghai (he's based there) whenever he(they) travels (for business or leisure) so as to help get the cash out.Originally Posted by DC33_2008

Tsunami Coming>>>>
The rising number of Hong Kong homeowners with apartments worth less than their mortgages may further hurt sentiment already damped by the global equity rout and government curbs, according to Barclays Capital Research.
The estimated number of mortgages in “negative equity”jumped to 1,653 at the end of the third quarter from 48 three months earlier, with the value of those loans rising to HK$4.1 billion ($528 million) from HK$58 million, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority said Oct. 28. An index tracking the city’s developers fell today.
The number “provides the first clear evidence of the on-going decline in Hong Kong property prices,” Barclays’ Hong Kong-based analysts Andrew Lawrence and Vivien Chan wrote in a report today. “Further price falls are expected to follow.”
The threat of a global economic slowdown is intensifying risks in Hong Kong’s home market and the government will monitor housing policies designed to curb prices, Financial SecretaryJohn Tsang said Oct. 27. Home transactions fell for a ninth straight month in September, while prices declined 3 percent from June to August, government statistics show.
The Hang Seng Property Index, which tracks the city’s seven-biggest developers, fell 2 percent as of 11:41 a.m. in Hong Kong, the biggest decline among the four industry groups in the benchmark Hang Seng Index. It declined 16 percent this year, compared with the 14 percent drop in the benchmark gauge.
Bank Valuation
Sun Hung Kai Properties Ltd., the world’s biggest developer, fell 2.3 percent to HK$107.10. Cheung Kong Holdings Ltd., the builder controlled by Hong Kong’s richest man, Li Ka-shing, slid 0.2 percent to HK$97.95.
Rising negative equity “suggests that bank valuations for mortgages are falling quickly,” wrote Lawrence, who forecast home prices may drop as much as 30 percent by 2013 in an earlier report. “Homebuyers will either need to use more equity to fund their home purchases or negotiate lower prices.”
The number of negative equity loans last quarter is at the highest since the second quarter of 2009. The figure reached a peak of 106,000 at the end of June 2003, when Hong Kong’s home prices ended a six-year slump that wiped about two-thirds off values on average.
Hong Kong’s Chief Executive Donald Tsang promised to provide more affordable homes and signaled greater government intervention in narrowing social inequality in his Oct. 12 policy address, responding to a public outcry over the more-than 70 percent surge in home prices since early 2009.
The government has in the past year raised minimum down- payment requirements on some home mortgage loans and increased land sales in an effort to curb soaring prices fueled by record low mortgage rates, a shortage of new apartment supply and an influx of buyers from other parts of China. Banks in Hong Kong have raised mortgage rates five times since March.

Fear not, fear not! No need to sell lah... I'm more for long term property investment. Also, the CM has effectively killed any flippers and short term investment in Singapore already. So long have holding power, then just sit on super low rental yields or no rental yields and wait out the crisis coz prices will go up eventually again. Can wait out and SSD too!Originally Posted by basic

Yup. People who are able to hold on will be eventual winner in the long term. Do you see Shaw, FEO sell everything before Lethman. Infact, they are quietly buying them during that period. Investment Portfolio will change with time. But look at the top richiest man in Singapore. How have investment in properties?Originally Posted by ysyap
I think we are not connecting at all. I am talking about HDB all these while. Why did you bring in private? If you want to talk about 80% of the population, just talk about HDB. Private properties are not for the mass. A 4 bedroom HDB cost like 250-300k. There is NO 2 million properties at stake for 80% OF THE POPULATION. For those 2 million properties buyers, I am sure they have something planned for themselves.

It is rather obvious. What goes up must come down. Questions are: how much and how fast?Originally Posted by basic
You get someone else to go pick the durian. You just stand one corner and watch. If another durian falls, then you quickly decide if want to change durian. If already bought and too late to change, then forget about the other durian and enjoy your own durian lah... Bottomline, never regret which durian you've finally picked...Originally Posted by ikan bilis
There is always better durian. Better contended.Originally Posted by ysyap
