The government has implemented the latest round of cooling measures targeted at the private residential and HDB resale markets, with effect from 16 December 2021.
The package of measures – comprising higher Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty (ABSD) rates, tighter Total Debt Servicing Ratio (TDSR) threshold, and tighter LTV limits for HDB loans - affects all categories of buyers.
“We are not surprised that the government has rolled out fresh cooling measures as the market has been lively this year, with very robust sales and firmer prices. Generally, this set of measures will encourage home buyers to be more prudent with their purchases, amid concerns about impending interest rate hikes", said CEO Ismail Gafoor.
“The measures will certainly crimp the growth momentum in the property market in 2022. Given the hefty ABSD for foreigners, we expect the Core Central Region (CCR) to face more downward pressure, compared to the other sub-markets: Rest of Central Region (RCR) and Outside Central Region (OCR)", noted Head of Research & Content, Wong Siew Ying.
