又一个投行倒下了,新加坡的房价会跌吗?(转帖)

13 Sep 2008 Report

Home prices near replacement cost

Real Estate Developers Association of Singapore president Simon Cheong says private home prices are unlikely to drop much from current levels as selling prices are close to replacement costs, inclusive of construction costs. Developers had a good year last year, suggesting that they will be under less pressure to lower prices to chalk up sales. Mr Cheong doesn’t anticipate that the drop will be too severe if there is one. But some market watchers point out that weaker players may be more inclined to trim prices to dispose of their projects. Another factor affecting price levels is the secondary market. The median subsale prices of Citylights and The Sail @ Marina Bay eased about 2 and 14% respectively in Q2 2008 from Q1, according to DTZ. Mr Cheong said that high-end home prices have peaked but will probably achieve a new high when sentiment and the economy improves, come 2010 when the integrated resorts come into play and with Singapore being a successful wealth management centre. City Developments said that the low- and mid-end segments are still quite resilient.

有利的方面:

1. 低利率,现在房贷的利率基本上在2-3%之间

2. 高房租回报,年租/房价 基本介于4-7%之间 ( HDB和大众公寓 )

3. 需求方面,很多人对政府650万的计划深表怀疑。所以,我只能说个人感受。在新加坡8年,只能说一句:来新,中国人越来越多,有钱的中国人也是越来越多。

4 HDB的供应被政府严加控制。每次BTO,都是申请人数远大于房子的数目。即使这种情况下,政府并没有明显的大幅提高供应量,而是一而再,再而三的呼吁大家要有耐心,去resale market购买等等。政府显然接受了98年的教训。

5 私人地产方面,从去年发展费调高,取消defer payment,开始,就在为地产业降温。个人认为还算比较及时。新加坡的信贷系统也是良好的。

不利的方面:

1. 私宅价位已经到了一个高水平,尤其是CCR。炒作的痕迹明显。

2. ura的数据显示供应量在09,10会大增。这方面有一些质疑的声音。个人认为,增加是肯定。关键是到底大于需求没有。

3. 外部金融,经济环境恶化。其实,金融的恶化,普通百姓最近通过AIA感受到了。个人认为信心方面的打击远大于目前实质性的冲击。由于信心的冲击,在投资性质的买房,肯定会锐减,至少是要谨慎。所以,私宅需求上面,受到很大的冲击这是必然,也是现实。

4. 实质性的冲击是就业环境的恶化。就业市场已经明显放缓。这个继续下去,会进一步影响需求。这个需求包括自住和投资。

观点:

1. 自住的hdb,不用太过于忧虑。如果实在想买,又怕亏,那么买个小点的,便宜的先凑合,将来换大的。这样,万一房价继续向上,你的房子也可以升值。将来换大房子,也少亏点。如果房地产下行,你要换的大房子,跌得更多。买自住的hdb,一定要买自己负担的起的。

2. 投资私人地产。要谨慎。要做好房租下跌,利息上涨,你自己的收入依然能够支撑的准备。要有长期持有的打算。

3. 有人说经济不好了,大量移民离开新加坡。这是可能的,但是请考虑一个问题。这次的萧条时外部引起的,全球都不好过。那么,这些移民准备去哪里呢?哪里好过呢。
