It is a currently a buyer's market in #Singapore due to the #Covid19 crisis hence property developers have to price property conservatively.

If you're #Singaporean, here's a thread on why you might want to consider a new private property 🏘️ in Singapore:

🧵👇
2/ Prior to 2013, people could easily flip #property and make tens of thousands just by buying an option to purchase.

Fast forward to 2013, various measures were introduced (#TDSR, #ABSD, #SSD)

This curbed demand lead to - /3

3/ How is the #Singapore #RealEstate market different today?

- Healthy demand and less speculative buying
- Ample liquidity & low interest rates
- Declining unsold supply
- People are upsizing due to Work From Home (#WFH) changes

4/ There has been rapid decline of unsold inventory of #Singapore private property from ~35k+ to ~21k unit.

Is #enbloc season is starting again?

Traditionally, enbloc season is a tide that "lifts all boats." Surrounding property prices goes up in tendem
5/ Many of my readers have talked about opportunity cost should they buy private property.

Indeed, #bitcoin , #stocks, #commodities might offer better yields.

However, #Singapore property has a significant advantage in a few areas: /6 ⬇️
6/ Unlike other #investment vehicles,

Buying a property in #Singapore allows one to access leverage safely. In some way, it's forced DCA into a SOV without having to worry about serious fluctuations.

Many property owners have made because they don't monitor the price daily.

Let me know of other topics that you would like to hear on #RealEstate.

/8 The new One Bernam in #Singapore is a great opportunity to own a #property in the Core Central Region.

This isn't an easy topic to address but I'll do my best to provide my thoughts via a simple generic🧵

#RealEstate isn't linear. It is multifactorial:

1) Country
2) Time period
3) Information asymmetry
4) Opportunity cost
5) Personality
6) Job security

etc

🧵👇
2/ There is no guarantee for any gains in any investment vehicle. No guarantee in #RealEstate, #bitcoin, #Equities etc

As cliche as it sounds, the only constant is: Change.

History only provides a clue.

Simply put, yields are not guaranteed.

Back to factors 1 to 6
3/ #RealEstate differs from country to country.

In a jurisdiction where there are high capital gains tax or when the cost of borrowing is high, owning/investing in property might not make much sense.

In #Singapore, capital gains tax has been abolished

For people that say" it's only money; It can be made back,"

Here's a thread 🧵to help you understand why it's so painful and why making back isn't so easy:
1/ You've heard the saying time = money

it sounds cliche until you realise it isn't

In the #Christian bible, numerous verses have been connected with time and money.
2/ Money stores time. Time is finite.

Numerous verses state that God can protect time:

I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts.

#Singaporeans think #realestate makes for a great investment.

Many don't realise that taking a loan on a property is a form of leveraging.

It can work for OR against you.

Time for a thread 🧵👇
2/ 2nd property max loan you can take is 45%. Other 25% (cash), 30% (CPF/cash) = 100%

On a 1M property, that's $450k

If the property appreciates by $200k to $1.2M after misc fees, you've just made your money work for you.

In a recession, the reverse is true.
3/ Let's say the market crashes in a deep recession, the private property that you bought goes down by 30% from 1M to $700k.

You've lost your job and can't afford to service the loan.

You sell the property thinking "no worries".

Here's the truth 👇
