SINGAPORE: 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."

The measures to cool the private and public housing markets are meant to "
promote continued housing affordability".
The agencies said that the measures for private residential are calibrated
to dampen broad-based demand, especially from those purchasing property for
investment rather than owner occupation.
The measures to tighten financing conditions for both public and private
housing "will encourage greater financial prudence".
The Government also will increase public and private housing supply to cater
to demand. |
