Are Current Singapore Property Prices Reasonable ?

By Billy Chen

With the economy back on track to ensure a slow, but returned as property players push into the red hot real estate market is Singapore. This bull market is flushed with setting the mood and developers rush to their prices in the daily ad. You can't help, eighth, but it only came to the conclusion that prices are behind you.

Are the current real estate prices reasonable? Are there really enough crazy buyers out there to support such price levels? Or have you been slackening and you accumulation of wealth and income has not been able to keep pace with the property prices?

To have a better sense on what is going around on the property market; let's begin by checking on how property news/prices are relayed to you. If you are not a major and active real estate player, chances are you have to be reliant on secondary sources such as media for your property update. Media like newspaper, radio and TV, all inadvertently play a role in helping us shape your belief.

We are not suggesting that our media has been responsible for inaccurate reporting. Rather we are aware of the fact media exists to disseminate 'newsworthy' and interesting reports. The fact remains that, in all reality, for one super-scale mega project, there are probably a number of more modest launches that do not make headlines materials. A grand and mega project that runs into hundreds of millions in development cost would easily snatch the headlines from the more decent real estate development.

These super-scale luxury housing advertisements of Marina and Santos enclaves, for instance, are targeting those very rich foreigners and locals. Advertisements paid for by glamorous developers represent another reason in a similar way. It makes sense that these are priced with a premium and are generally not meant for average Singaporeans.

Of course, that the sale to private owner-occupied homes are certainly lower than that in advertising a new market. But few people know about them, such as the lack of 'journalist ' elements. For the average man among us, the prices start a new news, what to do in our circles.

One other reason that helps to form this belief is that the 2007 real estate boom is still fresh in the Singaporeans' minds. With the integrated resorts as backdrop, many developers have taken their cues and gone on to launch a number of super-luxurious and super-exclusive projects in great fanfare, and to massive successes in drawing in record number of overseas investors. Again these properties are not aimed at the average Singaporeans.

In all reality, the private real estate market is not going to stay static as inflation is a natural element in any economy. But, still, there a number of modestly priced private properties around Singapore. The suburb properties, just for comparison, have only registered a single digit increase in price in the past ten years. It is only up to you to tweak your aspiration and look out for them. - 23212
