However, they generally wait until the SSD falls to 4% in the fourth year of purchase. Based on the latest revision of the SSD measure, homeowners who purchased their houses on or after Jan 14, 2011 and resold them within four years of the date of purchase are required to pay SSD. The SSD rates vary with the holding period, at 16%, 12%, 8% and 4% within the first, second, third and fourth years from the date of purchase respective

By Chang Hui Chew While most people bemoan how the sizes of their apartments have shrunk over the years, spend time in other metropolises and you'll quickly come to realize that we're actually behind the trend. For instance, New York is currently building pre-fabricated micro-apartments of about 270 square feet (about the size of a shipping container unit) right in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, for an upcoming project in East Manhattan. The calculation is rather simple: land space in Singapore is finite, a hoarded resource. However, our economy needs an expanding population to grow, to produce and consume, and all

Small units, big challenges Mass-market shoebox rents dip 3.5% in 3Q2015 By Lin Zhiqin / The Edge Property | October 17, 2015 10:00 AM MYT Preliminary estimates indicate that rents for shoebox units dipped 1.9% quarter-on-quarter in 3Q2015. Mass-market shoebox units led the decline as monthly rents fell 3.5% or $73 from $2,089 in 2Q2015, to $2,016 in 3Q2015. On a brighter note, shoebox rents in the city fringe stayed unchanged from the last quarter at $2,380 per month. In the high-end segment, monthly shoebox rents fell 2.1% or $59 from $2,815 in 2Q2015, to $2,756 in 3Q2015. Shoebox units in the mass market continue to face strong competition from HDB flats for tenants. For the same rents, tenants could get a three-room HDB unit with two bedrooms and share their rental expenses with a flatmate. Based on HDB subletting contracts, the island-wide monthly rents for HDB flats averaged $1,958 for three-room units and $2,297 for four room ones in 3Q2015. On the other hand, shoebox

http://m.sbr.com.sg/residential-property/in-focus/it-will-take-over-12-years-clear-singapore%E2%80%99s-massive-private-home-back It will take over 12 years to clear Singapore's massive private home backlog: analysts There's no hope even if take-up rates double. Private residential homes in Singapore are simply not selling fast enough to clear off the large numbe of unsold inventory. With more projects slated for completion in coming quarters, analysts at Savills warn that it will take well over 12 years to clear the inventory of unsold units in projects which are currently under development. "Adopting CCR's average monthly sales for the period January to May 2015, and assuming that there will be no further Government Land Sales (GLS), it will take about 12 years to clear the inventory of unsold units in projects under development now," Savills said. The situation becomes even more dire away from the central region, Savills said. This is because the GLS p

This is because a bumper supply of shoebox units are expected to enter the market, peaking by around 2017, revealed R'ST Research data. Leasing demand for such units is also untested, with fewer foreigners able to afford them. "Increasingly, many (overseas nationals) can't even afford renting a single shoebox unit, but would instead rent a room in an apartment… Rents will be under further pressure," noted Alan Cheong, research head at Savills Singapore. Based on caveats lodged, majority of the supply will come from District 19 – Sengkang, Hougang and Punggol – with at least 700 units expected to be completed during this period. R'ST Research noted that at l

The housing market is near the bottom, if not already the bottom, without a doubt. Most investors either are sitting on the sidelines, suffering low yields by accepting lower rents, or seeking other avenues to dump their cash in after managing to sell bleeding assets. Those who were lucky enough to enter the market in 09/10 tell themselves they have to bite their lips and sit it out. Others who were not so lucky and bought at the peak in 11/12 curse and swear as they can never match the lower  asking rents of the early bird investors, nor their selling prices should they decide to throw in the towel. Let us understand the situation better with some stark examples. 1. Parc Imperial (D05) Poster boy in its heyday, a 366sf unit easily went for $700k and could lease for $2800-3300 per month in early 2013. That was a decent 5.7% yield. Fast forward to May 2015 two years on. A similar unit went for $2000. That translates to a 39% drop. 2. Alexis (D04) Another hot favorite. In 201

The study on selected private residential projects indicated the ratio of shoebox apartments located outside the central area has increased since the November 2012 guideline from the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) stating the maximum number of dwelling units for all new flats as well as condominium development outside the central area. Notably, Knight Frank compared private residential projects whose building plan proposals obtained provisional permission within one-and-a-half-year prior to 4 November 2012 (which was the pre-guideline period) with those wh
