This is my personal view and finding of the SG private property market posted at: http://www.waynekoh.com/2008/06/singapore-private-residential-property.html

I’m hoping to accumulate enough cash to pick an affordable and investment-worthy unit in 2010-2011 when I think the market will be at the bottom.

The subprime crisis is not over and recession is coming. Now inflation is up up up. Must tighten the belt. Those with spare cash will appreciate what is saving for rainy seasons.

I strongly agree with all the points mentioned above, never should anyone read and believe the media with regards to the recent report on property price. It’s totally absurd and non-reflective of the current market sentiment. If you talk to true friend in the property industry, they will tell you how bad the situation is , most of them had already eating grass and drinking plain water. Stay out of trouble and keep your cash, be prudent in your spending. Be happy with life.

Check out today’s Straits Times last page where the article’s headline screams out loud that the property market is recovering.

And then check out today’s TODAY, where the same statistics are given a more realistic report.

It’s always in the property consultant firms’ interest to push the market. Take their “markets will continue to go up”, “market downturn will not last”, with a big pinch of salt.

When I saw the BT Headline “HDB upgraders driving force for property market turnaround yada yada…..”, knew straight away that it was an attempt to stir up market sentiment. Agents and firms need to pay off their mortgages and cars loans,whether market up or down..Can expect more interesting/misleading headlines to emerge..Interesting point is that HDB upgraders are the selected victims/fallguys..they so gong meh? Other demograhic groups, yuppies, divorcees, expatriates,peeps with big noses etc beware, you could be next month`s “driving force”..
