It’s a move to whack the rich from being too bullish and developers (curb demand side).
Land prices up. New launch pricing up. Resale did not really go up. HDB price even went south abit.
YoY prices have already increased by more than 10%, effectively close to wiping off the 10% decline which the previous cooling measures took 3-4 yrs to achieve.
Imagine losing what you have worked so hard for 3 -4 yrs in just 1 year.
Since last Dec, the MAS had issued warnings over the euphoria in property market.
Even up to yesterday, I kept wondering when the government was finally taking action.
I read this as a herding strategy.
This will push those who can comfortably afford private to give up their HDB.
E.g. 7% ABSD can recoup in about 2 years of rent. 12% needs about 4 years.
That will cause many more to release their HDBs to be free to buy private without ABSD, on top of forcing those who have been preparing to pay the 7% to quickly commit.
It’s a good slow heat strategy.
Can buy quickly buy or more heartache awaits.
Ultimately, those who can afford it will have to shoulder the tax burden!
The three laws of Kelonguni:
Where there is kelong, there is guni.
No kelong no guni.
More kelong = more guni.
30% tax for developers buying private...its going to impact en-bloc.
Any changes to LTV?
Times up. Last order?

Comparison against china and sgp properties. On the prices and interest rate
Buy 1 Million dollar property you need to pay extra.
12% = 120K
15% = 150K
The latest policy moves are two pronged - one is to cool down the enbloc market. The other broader objective is to ensure a steady and gradual appreciation of property assets in asset rich singaporeans / residents. But I personally think they are over micromanaging / over engineering the market now. There is really no need for additional ABSD on retail investors as the market has not seen broad based recovery in all locations. With such proactive policy tweaking, it will be increasingly difficult for laymen to get into the property investment ladder. I guess the gahmen is discouraging everyone from being landlords.
For existing landlords, one bright spot would be that this latest move will put off a whole segment of foreigners / PR from buying their property and this preserves the pool of tenants for us.
For 2nd property If u don't buy yesterday your CPF will be locked in till age 55 as u need to pay extra stamp duty. For those age 30s by the time u reached 55yrs old CPF min sum will likely be $300k or more. If u buy after 6 july govt made another 5% from absd. What a smart move to trap your cpf.
star, it's best not to keep mentioning CPF CPF, trust me on this. Our govt is trigger happy.

Sorry it is not 55yrs old, should be 65yrs old. Min sum will be locked till 65yrs old
The impact on the enbloc market is very significant or putting enbloc RIP.
Other than paying higher duty on the purchases by the developers, the demand side is going to come down.
So, all the old 99 LH properties aiming for big money from enbloc will face the reality of cannot find buyers as there is limit on CPF withdrawal
BTW, how is IRAS going to know whether the OTP is signed before or after 2359?
is there a time-stamp by the agents?
Any damage report from the overnight storm in showflats?
overnight become buyers market ?
City development share price drop 16% now.
Just build more 300sqft mickey mouse, and throw in aloft.
Low quatuam, ultra high psf
