Buying Attitude Index - Q4 2018

[richwang]

Why this index?
In Singapore, there is no official buyer-driven (not developer-driven) index to show Buyers' Attitude for investment residential properties. This forum might be 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, 2018, 9, +100
Q2, 2018, 8, +75
Q3, 2018, 10, 0

(The max of the index is 100, the minimum of the index is -100)

With so few of votes, I am starting to loss the movitation for compling the index. Not sure anyone wants to take over?
We had a big swing from +75 to 0 for the index. Is the worst over ... or just started?

Your votes will give us a clue.

Thanks,
Richard

Good time to buy but must know own Timeline and project.

Some information is too sensitive to share online.

Good time to buy as developers have already cut prices. Project specific though.

Can share which projects? Parc esta or park colonial?

Can share which projects? Parc esta or park colonial?

personally would prefer park colonial vs parc esta even though u need to pay a premium price for park colonial. the overall feel is different. park colonial is at an up and coming area, on their side of the road, its actually a quiet private estate. yet the mall is just across the road and mrt at doorstep.

parc esta is an even larger project than park colonial. the noise from mrt will be there. there's no mall as near and even without the mrt noise, the road noise surrounding the project will also be significant.
