Are Current Singapore Properties Prices Reasonable ?

By Billy Chen

With the economy back on track in a slow yet assured way, property players are rushing back to the red hot Singapore real estate market. The market is flushed with bullish sentiments and property developers have been busy adjusting up their prices in their daily advertisement. You can't help but starting to pay attention, only to come to the conclusion that the prices are beyond you.

Are the current real estate prices reasonable? Is there really enough to support it fool buyers, this price level? Or were you, and you will reduce the accumulation of wealth and income has failed to keep pace with property prices?

For a better sense of what the real estate market, we have's start by controlling how property news Rates transferred to you. If you are not vital and active real estate players, the chances that you will need to be on secondary sources, such as the media upgrade for your property depends. Media such as newspapers, radio and television, all unwittingly playing a role in our design your beliefs.

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.

Viewing pay developers are charming reason that a similar fashion. This super-luxury housing advertisements in the Marina and Santos in enclaves, for example, based on the very wealthy foreigners and locals. It is understandable that a price premium and is usually not designed for the average Singapore.

Of course, resale prices for privately owner-occupied properties are obviously lower than those advertised at the new launches. But few people are aware of them as the lack of 'newsworthiness' elements. For the average guys among us, the new launch prices are what making news within 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. Again these properties are not aimed at the average Singaporeans. 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.

It is only up to you to tweak your aspiration and look out for them. In all reality, the private real estate market is not going to stay static as inflation is a natural element in any economy. The suburb properties, just for comparison, have only registered a single digit increase in price in the past ten years. But, still, there a number of modestly priced private properties around Singapore. - 23309
