		<description>Hi Shaun W

Property price is more affected by supply and demand.
As a result of our leaders foresight in building the integrated resorts and foreign talent policy, there is a great deal of demand for Singapore properties resulting in a huge property boom.

If PAP can continued its enlightened policy of  importing more foreign talents, the property boom can still continue for years to come. 

However, there is a fear that ungrateful S&#039;poreans will pressure pap to moderate the foreign talent policy to moderate the property market. This is already taking place.

In summary, property prices will continue to go up if PAP can be voted to stay in power. 
Otherwise, I will be out of a job and looking to migration instead.

Hope this helps explain why the property market is booming. Obviously if there is no demand, there wont be enbloc and enbloc only applies to condo I think. 

Regards
Property agent

		<description>Hi everone! I&#039;m curious to know that if leasehold properties depreciate in value year after year.How come HDB flats which are very old gets pricier year after year! For instance,alot of people are staying in their parent&#039;s HDB flats which were purchased for tens of thousand years ago but now still worth at least 500k!I&#039;ve never seen a leasehold property being possessed when the lease expired as normally they get enbloc right?</description>

		<description>Assuming the case study couple lost $400K in home depreciation over the past 12 years. In retrospect, has anyone thought about the amount of money Singaporeans lose from car ownership.

Generally, most singaporeans change cars every 3 years, so in 12 yrs, they would have gone thru 4 car ownerships. For a 3 yr depreciation on cars (Jap and Conti), it can range from $30K to $100K per yr, so go figure how much money can be lost in 12 years, just having a set of wheels..</description>

		<description>I see lots of recent graduates who have zero experience and ask for the moon. 

Youngsters these days are out of touch with reality and I think this recession, hopefully a long and deep one, will discipline them

The youth these days are soft, borrow heavily, gamble heavily and have no sense of discipline. Too much Western influence and start behaving like Americans who always spend beyond their means

In the 1985 recession, graduates could not get jobs and had to take $400 a month salary and this was when there was only one NUS

Now everybody has degree. A long and deep recession is good for the well being of the country</description>

		<description>Wait until the bubble has burst. We will read about it in the papers. Then it&#039;s time to swoop and get some good deals.</description>
