N_Sakarin\/Shutterstock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>When the pandemic hit Singapore, the country responded with predictable urgency. Tight border controls and lockdowns achieved the desired effect of keeping the virus from spreading and causing the kind of casualties seen elsewhere. But the health crisis has upset what has been a source of pride for many years: the country\u2019s finely balanced housing market.<\/p>\n<p>In 2021 the city saw its highest price rises in more than a decade. After year-on-year growth of 3.3 percent in the first quarter of last year, prices soared to finish the year with a lurch upwards of 10.6 percent, according to figures from Singapore\u2019s Urban Redevelopment Authority.<\/p>\n<p>Sales galleries were shut, and viewings were prohibited during four months of strict restrictions. Once these were lifted, a wave of demand was unleashed, and sales volumes and prices started to rise.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was flat from the end of 2017 to the third quarter of last year,\u201d says Kristin Thorsteins, respected chairperson of the PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards (Singapore) judging panel, and head of partnerships at IWC Plc that provides companies with flexible working spaces.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe price index hardly moved. There was a balance in supply and demand. You didn\u2019t have foreigners rushing in to buy real estate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd then there was the uptick towards the end of last year,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_27655\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-27655\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-27655 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/shutterstock_1359207236.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"562\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/shutterstock_1359207236.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/shutterstock_1359207236-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/shutterstock_1359207236-600x337.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/shutterstock_1359207236-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-27655\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The price of landed property in Singapore surged by around 13.3 percent in 2021. TangYanSong\/Shutterstock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The year saw landed property prices surge highest at 13.3 percent. Prices for non-landed homes jumped 9.8 percent. Indicative of this rampant demand, the landed development Belgravia Ace sold an impressive 72 percent of units in the month of its launch in January this year.<\/p>\n<p>One of the main reasons for the price increases has been a delay in the construction of new projects. Labour shortages, lockdowns, and price rises for raw materials because of the pandemic have created a \u201cperfect storm\u201d, says Thorsteins.<\/p>\n<p>This, she says, has disrupted the balance in the housing market. People are fearful of waiting for new builds to be completed due to rocketing prices. But values of the existing secondary property market are also shooting upwards as impatient investors vie for deals.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/en\/singapore-residential-real-estate-a-goldmine-for-ultrarich-investors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>More: Singapore residential real estate a goldmine for ultrarich investors<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt seems to be for residential that it\u2019s caught in a perfect storm where you\u2019ve got lots of developments that have been delayed,\u201d she says. \u201cThe workers couldn\u2019t get into the country. So people have not moved out of their houses and into their built-to-order.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen the pandemic hit, everyone was expecting an avalanche of distressed sales but there is just so much money chasing these deals that prices haven\u2019t come down at all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While the resilience of the housing market is a testament to the city-state\u2019s strong economic fundamentals, it has strained a model the government has long tried to keep stable.<\/p>\n<p>For decades, Singapore\u2019s government has kept close tabs on property prices to ensure housing remains affordable for locals and stays in step with economic fundamentals, with officials aware of it being a haven investment for wealthy foreigners.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_27657\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-27657\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-27657 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/shutterstock_609166676.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/shutterstock_609166676.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/shutterstock_609166676-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/shutterstock_609166676-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/shutterstock_609166676-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-27657\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Singapore\u2019s glittering financial district is also home to some of the city-state\u2019s most exclusive real estate . BluePlanetStudio\/Shutterstock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>One of the main ways it has done this is with a subsidised housing scheme. Since its launch in 1960, the Housing Development Board (HDB) has been tasked with rapidly increasing the supply of affordable homes to rent. The scheme is widely seen as a success. Around 80 percent of the country\u2019s population live in an HBD unit. The enlightened policy is a key factor in why Singapore\u2019s property market has avoided the sheer imbalance witnessed in regional rivals like Hong Kong and Seoul.<\/p>\n<p>Yet analysts fear that might soon change unless prices come down and the supply of new properties increases.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have for the first time SGD1 million (USD737,520) HBD flats.

PJ_Photography\/Shutterstock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In a bid to cool down the market, the government introduced cooling measures in December last year to stabilise the market. It raised the additional buyer\u2019s stamp duty (ABSD) for foreigners from 20 percent to 30 percent. It also increased the rate for citizens buying their second homes from 12 percent to 17 percent. For third and subsequent homes, the rate rose from 15 percent to 25 percent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf 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,\u201d the government said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>Analysts expect prices to continue to rise this year but to between 1 percent and 4 percent, with the measures having less impact on Singaporean citizens and permanent residents who are buying a home to live in than on foreigners looking to buy. Trisni Djohari, a PropNex real estate agent, said of her Indonesian clients in a media interview: \u201cMost of them state that now they have to think twice [before they] buy property in Singapore,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>For the government that might be a price worth paying if an order is to be restored to its housing market.<\/p>\n<p><em>The original version of this article appeared in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/issuu.com\/propertygurupropertyreport\/docs\/pr_no.171_final\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Issue No. 171<\/a>\u00a0of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/issuu.com\/propertygurupropertyreport\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">PropertyGuru Property Report Magazine<\/a>.
