Singapore announces new property cooling measures Higher ABSD rates tighter loan limits
16 December 2021
Writer: Ng Hong Siang

The Government on Wednesday (Dec 15) announced a package of measures to cool the private residential and HDB resale markets.

The measures include raising Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty (ABSD) rates, tightening the Total Debt Servicing Ratio (TDSR) threshold and lowering the Loan-to-Value (LTV) limit for loans from the Housing and Development Board (HDB), said the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of National Development and the Monetary Authority of Singapore in a joint press release.

"The Government has been closely monitoring the property market for several quarters," said the statement, which was released to the media just before 11.40pm. It added that the private residential and HDB resale markets have been buoyant, despite the economic impact of COVID-19.

Private housing prices have risen by about 9 per cent since the first quarter of 2020.

HDB resale flat values have also risen by about 15 per cent since the same time, reversing a six-year decline, the authorities said.

"Even though House Price-to-Income ratios remain below their historical averages, there is clear upward momentum. Amid the low interest rate environment, transaction volumes in the private housing market and HDB resale market have also been high despite the COVID-19 situation.

"If left unchecked, prices could run ahead of economic fundamentals, and raise the risk of a destabilising correction later on. Borrowers would also be vulnerable to a possible rise in interest rates in the coming years."

Australias property prices smash records in 2021 with fastest growth on record
09 December 2021
By: Stuart Marsh • Senior Producer

Australia's property market has surged through a record-breaking 12 months as prices rose at the fastest year-on-year rate in history.
Domain's End of Year Wrap for 2021 has revealed that in 2021, Aussie house prices rose an eye-watering 21.9 per cent, the fastest annual rate of growth on record.
More than 446,000 houses were sold in 2021 and more than 144,000 units were sold, both remaining on the market for the shortest time in more than half a decade.
Domain's Chief of Research and Economics Dr Nicola Powell said 2021 will be remembered as the year that radically defined the way Australians use – and prioritise – what they want in their properties.
"The challenge of grappling with a global pandemic shifted buyer priorities, placing a greater emphasis on the space in which we reside, this spurred purchases and brought forward decisions," Dr Powell said.
"Ultra-low home loan rates, government stimulus, rebounding economic conditions, returning expats and improved household savings became the perfect combination of factors for extraordinary price growth and activity in 2021."
The highlight numbers of 2021 are nothing short of staggering.
The most expensive sale of the year was the penthouse of 163 Castlereagh Street in Sydney, which sold for an eye-watering million.
Three of Australia's capital cities in Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra now boast a median house price of over million, and the median capital city price nationwide is also closing in on seven figures.
According to Domain, there is hope for buyers desperate to enter the market: thanks to booming conditions, many homeowners erring about selling their home are being enticed by record prices.
"Sellers are now being enticed by record prices while tighter lending and affordability constraints have put a slight sting in buyer demand," the report reads.
"That means the year is closing in a different position to the start, with new listings coming to market quicker than they are being sold.
"While it remains a sellers' market, slowly the market is starting to tip in buyers' favour."
Looking ahead, 2022 is tipped to remain positive for homeowners while not replicating the near-insatiable growth of 2021.
"Buying opportunities are looking brighter for 2022. With new listings to remain strong, particularly over late summer and early Autumn," Domain notes.
"This will continue to bring the total homes for sale into a 'normal realm'.
"This additional choice, as well as tighter lending reducing buyers' leverage and wages growth not keeping pace with 2021 price growth, prices won't rise at the same sweltering pace as in 2021."
