Isn't 10% ABSD the current measure? So what's new is the reduction of another 10% LTV from 60% to 50% for second property and beyond (if first still under mortgage) right?

Rising home prices still a concern outside Central region: MND
By
Angela Tan
Minister of National Development Khaw Boon Wan told parliament on Monday that although private housing prices have started to stabilise in the Central Region, they are still rising for mass market properties outside the Central Region.
Mr Khaw also cited another concern that there is an increasing number of shoe-box units being sold by developers in the suburbs even though their appeal to tenants remains untested. "We will continue to monitor these developments closely and will not hesitate to take action, if necessary, to ensure that the housing market remains stable and sustainable,'' Mr Khaw said.
后港提名日是星期四?可能是为重选打强心针?
SINGAPORE: Singapore property giant SC Global Developments has acquired about two million square feet of seafront land in Bali.
The site, atop a cliff overlooking the Indian Ocean, could potentially be developed into a villa resort and hotel.
The firm has also acquired Singapore-incorporated companies Lotusvale and Tannerson.
In all, the acquisitions are worth about US$32.5 million.
SC Global Developments' Board of Directors says the move is a viable investment enabling the firm to diversify into a new location and participate in Indonesia's rapidly developing market.
The acquisitions will be funded by internal resources of the company and are not expected to have any material impact on consolidated earnings and net tangible assets per share for the current financial year.
=> even SC Global thinks it is time to diversify, high end Bali seafront condo ... something like Nikko Bali Resort?? I want

Currently 10% for foreigners, SC & PR 3%. If 3% jump to 10% the ultimate Anti-Brake Scheme. kekeke
10% really killer, developers will not be able to absorb anymore. I believe it is probably tier-based and anti-MM (won't affect CAPL) i.e.
MM < 500sqft - 10%
2br 500-600sqft - 8%
1br 500-600sqft - 6%

this should have little impact on the mass market segment, since hdb-upgraders make up the bulk of the buyers (if what is reported in the media is true)Originally Posted by Ringo33
啊。。。谢谢你。。。Originally Posted by pengful
quick question, whenever MAS introduce cooling measures, do they use OTP date or exercise date as the cut off date?
There will be a heavy outflow of monies.....and little inflow...is that what the Govt wants?
应该是前者,后者你无法控制。。。Originally Posted by Ringo33
nope, plus it's like using a blowtorch to hammer a nail. wrong tool for the problem.Originally Posted by Laguna
I will place my bet in this place given the underground geological & terrorxxt activities.Originally Posted by phantom_opera
With the bulk of the buying coming from locals, there is not much of an inflow from foreign buying anyway. If the government is concern about out outflow, the 10% of ABSD on foreign buying would not have been implemented in Dec 11.Originally Posted by Laguna
Maybe you see something I didn't.
perhaps there's something that isn't reported in the media. maybe the HDB-upgraders buying mass market projects are mostly FTs and PRsOriginally Posted by Leeds
A recent transaction of a landed promptly near place is sold to someone with a hub address. They are quite well off. They should really monitor these group of people. There are many in Watertown project too.Originally Posted by eng81157
40% Dp + 10% ABS + 3% stamp is no joke wor. Sup sup shui for some. hehOriginally Posted by carbuncle
I understand tt e govt has prepared a list of plots to b sold this year. Such a CM will kill off developers' interest, price, land revenue n supply of new units. I doubt it will b announced so soon. If there really is one, it might b a small one.
if you have intention to buy 3rd or more property, better be quick..Originally Posted by hyenergix
The same rumour was spread 1-2 months back.
So, we just wait until Thurs lor...
CMs weed out weak players in the market, help bring the price down a bit.
Then the rest who can afford get to buy at lower price!
WooHoo!

CM is a double edges sword as it will also discourage those holding 3 or more properties from selling because they will need to pay more ABSD if they wish to buy back later.Originally Posted by DKSG
Add another year to CM affect the opportunity cost further.Originally Posted by DKSG
Properties are meant to be kept & not for sale.Originally Posted by Ringo33
