pty investment imo is game-over with all the loan curbs, stamp duty, and now TDSR. only 1st time buyers not affected. Tough for the mkt not to correct.

Hearing so many negative comments here, looks like property sure gone case liao. Actually should have started last year if US tapering came earlier. I attribute all the gloom in the market now to tapering, not govt intervention. Look, every time the govt intervenes the property market heats up. This time (TDSR) is no game changer, the real deal is TAPERING.
Next year will see more drastic changes even without govt intervention, maybe will start to see more firesales here![]()
If the government knows the market as well as some of the experts here, then some of the CMs should start to taper alongside with the US tapering.
The first should be the ABSD for 3rd property.
TDSR should also be relaxed to include only properties - which is what the banks have been doing all along.
Since we know policy makers read posts in this forum, you can actually signal to them here!

unless you see a super strong string of data i don t think taper will happen soon. the tapering if it happens will probably be a non event as well, maybe 5-10 mil cut. They re super kiasi.
SGD inflation is still an issue, so I don t expect a strong dollar anytime soon. Perhaps if there s a major market correction.
when it was USD $ 300/ oz I told at least 5 of my friends to buy ...
only 1 listened to me...
I told him ..target 800 then 1000 then 1500 ...within 5yrs...
within 12 months ... he was already very happy that he listened to me..
I sold all my gold at 1300..... and never touch it again

"Never argue with an idiot, or he will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience."
the TDSR seems to hit the $3 to $5m segment particularly hard. the already relatively poor rental yield is made worse by the now even higher cash outlay required and resultant lower leverage effect. for own stay also too high a cash outlay stuck in the ppty.
$5 to $10m segment also kenna but at least now and then there are rich enough people to pay all cash anyway for the more premium properties.
