Cushman & Wakefield said that implementing stricter measures is the solution<\/p>\n

Singapore is currently facing an oversupply of private residences that could take years to clear, reported Bloomberg<\/a>. The central bank added that this current situation could also disrupt the budding recovery of prices, particularly with the local economy\u2019s uncertain future<\/p>\n

As of September 30, the Urban Redevelopment Authority revealed that the number of overhang units in the city-state amounted to 31,948.<\/p>\n

Moreover, Christine Li, head of research for Singapore and South-east Asia at Cushman & Wakefield, said that an average of 2,500 homes are sold per quarter this year, which means that it will take around four years to clear the backlog.<\/p>\n

To counter the glut, property developers asked the government to give them more time to sell properties before implementing penalty taxes and to reduce the 20 percent stamp duty for foreign investors.<\/p>\n

With the uncertain local economy, head of research at Singapore-based real estate firm OrangeTee & Tie Christine Sun, said that home sales could drop between five to 10 percent in the coming year.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, the property prices could still rise, at a slow pace of one to three percent, as long as the economy does not substantially decline next year.<\/p>\n

Researchers at Cushman & Wakefield believe that the oversupply started during the property boom of 2017 to 2018, when the entire city-state was enveloped with the collective-sale fever, which is when a group of owners come together to sell apartment blocks to a developer, who will then reconstruct the entire site.<\/p>\n

Li explained that the \u201cexcessive exuberance\u201d in purchasing sites en-block brought about the glut, adding that it would be \u201cunwise\u201d for the government to loosen their reigns to help developers.<\/p>\n

Instead, she encouraged implementing more stringent measures to prevent the collective-sale fever from happening again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
