Since my letter to The Straits Times Forum in
December 2014 regarding the accuracy
issues of private property transaction data,
the URA has improved the property market
data by releasing the nett prices of individualunits sold by developers by the first half of
2015.
In URA’s 1 April 2015 press release, there
were six major changes in the revision of the
URA Property Price Index that promised
higher representation of transactions and
more meaningful comparisons among
projects.
On May 18, URA finally put together the last
New Rules for a More Transparent PropertyMarket – Enforcement is Key

missing piece by enforcing the publishing of
actual transacted prices of uncompleted
private properties sold directly by developers.
There are also new rules that were
amendments to the Housing Developers(Control and Licensing) Act passed in April
2013.
New rules announced by URA on May 18
Below is a summary of the URA’s press
release on 'Fostering a more transparentproperty market'.
The first two rules are somewhat expected
since they have been mentioned by the URA
earlier.
The long-awaited transparent property
transaction prices are now available with the
compulsory submission of actual selling
prices of units bought directly from
developers, less all the stamp duty
absorption, legal subsidy, cash rebate, rental
guarantee, purchase incentive, etc. offered by
the developer.
Developer tricks deployed in show units
A more interesting rule that comes into effect
on July 20 is the requirement of accurate
depiction of the show units.
As I pointed out in my book No B.S. Guide toProperty Investment , there are countless
tricks used by developers in showflats to
make the units look spacious:

1. Replace a brick wall with a glass panel
separating the living room and an adjacent
bedroom;
2. Remove the wall separating two bedrooms
to join together for a bigger room in order to
hide a tiny bedroom;
3. Remove the wall and door of the kitchen,
or show an open kitchen which is ‘an ID
concept for display only’;
4. Extend the living room all the way to the
balcony;
5. Build a ceiling higher than the actual unit;
6. Remove the doors for all bedrooms and
bathrooms;
7. Hide any pillar, beam or air-con ledge that
exists in the original flat;
8. Minimize the width of walls and depth of
wardrobes for a more spacious bedroom;
9. Show rooms, furniture and appliances not
built to scale; and
10. Place full length wall mirrors, install see-
through wardrobes or use transparent
furniture.
Enforcement is key
Back in April 2013, Parliament had already
approved amendments to the Housing
Developers (Control and Licensing) Act to
improve safeguards for buyers of
uncompleted private residential properties.
Besides providing the public with better
information on the private residential property
market, the Housing Developers (Show Unit)
Rules also required developers’ showflats tofollow the same dimensions of structural walls
and ceiling height as approved in the building
plan.

The amended act also empowered the
Controller of Housing to investigate cases of
non-compliance. For non-compliance, the
maximum fine imposed on developers was
raised from $20,000 to $100,000, while also
imposing an imprisonment term of up to 3
years.
But the questions are: Did we notice any
difference in developer showflats at all in the
new project launches? Have we heard aboutany incidence of non-compliance and fine
being imposed since passing of the act?
While we appreciate the government’s efforts
in introducing new rules to protect the
interests of home buyers, it is also critical to
see how the authority implements themeffectively.
In a nutshell, while a truly transparent
property market can enable prospective home
buyers to make better-informed purchasing
decisions, the rights of the consumers can
only be protected through strict enforcement
of the laws by the relevant authority,
especially when people are buying off plans in
uncompleted residential projects.

According to the Ministry of Finance, cooling
measures such as the additional buyer’s
stamp duty (ABSD) may be removed whenappropriate. Market experts believe that the
measure should be lifted either fully or in part
for Singaporean citizens as the market
stabilises. The removal of such cooling
measures may increase the affordability of
homes, thus encouraging citizens to purchaseanother property, said The Business Times.
While some experts anticipate the removal of
the ABSD, others like Alex Toh from Withers
KhattarWong believe that there would not be
a total removal of the cooling measure. LeeLiat Yeang from Rodyk & Davidson Real
Estate Practice Group added that it is still too
early to lift the stamp duties completely.

Luxury condos that are priced from $10
million are popular among foreign buyers this
year, according to the Business Times. Sun
Tongyu, Alibaba’s co-founder bought a
penthouse in April this year for $51 million. In
the same month, a Hong Kong businessman
had paid $22.5 million, or $3,271 psf, for a
penthouse at Nassim Park Residences.

Other noteworthy foreign buyers include a
regional executive who works at Facebook
who purchased a 4,700 sq ft penthouse for
$11.3 million this year. Not only so, luxury
condos have also been quickly snapped upby well-heeled Singaporeans, said the
Business Times. Andy Chua, the owner of
Yun Nam Hair Care had purchased a $12.2
million penthouse at St Regis Residences in
February this year. Alan Cheong from Savills
Singapore believes that the competitive
prices of high-end condos in Singapore
compared to countries like Hong Kong have
appealed to buyers.

According to the Business Times, market
experts believe that authorities will maintain
private residential land supply in the second
half of this year. Market experts believe that
supply would be kept constant as a
substantial number of new homesare being
developed. Not only so, authorities may beencouraged to maintain supply as developers’
appetite for land at state tenders has been
healthy. Nonetheless, other experts predict
that supply may be cut slightly to avoid the
problem of having an oversupply of
residential properties. As demand for public-
private housing hybrid is low, market experts
believe that there is no need to release any
executive condo sites on the confirmed list in
the H2 2015 Government Land Sales
programme. According to the Business
Times, land supply for private homes on the
confirmed list has fallen from 8,100 units in
H2 2010 to around 7,000 units in H1 2012.
More recently, the number of private homes

supplied fell from 4,630 in H1 2014 to 3,335
units in H2 2014 and finally 3,020 units in H1
2015. Ong Teck Hui from JLL predicts that
this trend will be maintained in the second
half of the year as MND will take intoconsideration the problem of oversupply.

Data from SRX Property showed that HDB
resale volumes have increased by 19.3%
year-on-year in May this year compared to
May 2014. Nonetheless, resale HDB flat
transaction volumes have fallen by 2.2%
month-on-month from 1,610 in April to 1,575
in May. Wong Xian Yang from OrangeTee
added that year-on-year increases in volumes
have been observed in the first five months of
this year, except in March. This indicates that
the resale market is stabilising, said Wong.
However, Wong said that cooling measures
such as the mortgage servicing ratio cap and
rising interest rates may still affect the
demand for HDB flats. Not only so theincrease in supply of build-to-order flats and
executive condos will negatively affect
demand for HDB resale flat units. According
to the Business Times, resale prices of HDB
three and four-room flats have fallen by 0.2%
and 0.9% respectively in May from April this
year. In mature estates, prices have fallen by
3.9% year-on-year while prices in non-mature
estates have fallen by 6% in the same period,
added the Business times.

Road has been launched for collective sale
by public tender. This follows two other en
bloc sales tender at Amber Park Condo and
at Thong Sia Building, which is a residential-
cum-commercial building. Market expertsbelieve that collective sales will not flourish as
owners’ high expectations may not be met by
the market’s demand. The owners of the
development at Sophia Road are seeking
offers of more than $45 million, or $1,169 psf
ppr. The development has a land area of
about 16,600 sq ft and has been zoned for
residential use. It has a gross plot ratio of 2.1.
To capitalise on the site, Yong Choon Fah
from JLL said that buyers of the development
may consider building small apartments that
are between 40 and 50 sqm. The tender for
the Sophia Road site will close on July 1.

According to William Wong from RealStar
Premier Group, the sale of landed properties
has picked up due to pent-up demand, and
also due to the anticipation that cooling
measures will be lifted. Following the
implementation of the total debt servicing
ratio and other cooling measures, transaction
volumes for landed properties fell up to 50
percent by the end of 2013, said Wong.
Nonetheless, Wong believes that sales has
picked up in the recent months as the number
of enquiries from potential customers have
risen. Not only so, RealStar Premier Group
has moved $400 million in transaction salessince the start of the year, added Wong.
Noteworthy transactions this year include two

Wong. Wong believes that if the cooling
measures are lifted, the affordability of homes
will increase and this would encouragedemand.

ERA Realty and PropNex have recorded a
10.6% and 3.8% increase in profits after tax
respectively, as the organisations were able
to reap the benefitsof economies of scale. According to the Business Times, larger
agencies such as ERA Realty and PropNex
are able to provide value-added services that
are difficult to be replicated by smaller firms.
Despite a 9.9% fall in revenue in 2014, ERA’s
profits were propped up by higher-margin
investment sales and commercial
transactions. On the other hand, PropNexhad reaped a $7.9 million profit due to a cut in
headcount as it streamlined its processes.
Yet, OrangeTee suffered a net loss of
$690,000 for FY 2014. The agency has said it
will improve on branding, training, project
marketing and research to boost revenues. According to the Business Times, over 50
agencies and 4,000 real estate agents had
exited the market in the last year as the
market shrank. However, as of January 1st
this year, there are 1,369 licensed agencies
and 30,830 registered salespersons with the
Council of Estate Agencies.
