Singapore, 15 September 2015

Desmond Sim, Head, CBRE Research, South East Asia said​, "The sales numbers for August point to stable underlying demand for projects, reverting to the 400-500 level following the spike in the previous month. It will be some time before any decision is made on the lifting of cooling measures because sudden spikes skew the overall sales volume data. Post-election sentiment is not a major factor in shifting demand patterns; the prospect of a rise in interest rates, will in fact, play a bigger role in determining how demand levels pan out in the near future. The market did not see a pick-up in EC sales in August following the rise in the income ceiling, probably because buyers still need to take into consideration larger factors including developer track record, finishings, location, the Mortgage Servicing Ratio factor, as well as the nearly 5,000 unsold EC units currently in the market. Compared to the previous year, however, there should be a 5 – 10 per cent increase in EC sales volume for the whole year, a function of the higher number of EC launches this year and the larger pool of qualifying buyers as a result of the rise in the EC income ceiling.”
