Sell Singapore residential, buy office? Not a foregone conclusion for all
MOST property analysts at stockbroking houses have a negative view of the Singapore private residential sector and a positive view on the office market.
But with the high level of uncertainty across various aspects of the economies here and abroad, there is a possibility that the consensus view may be too harsh on the outlook for homes, and too upbeat about offices.
The prevailing wisdom is that the chief price dampener for the private housing market came from the July 2018 cooling measures, with higher additional buyer's stamp duty (ABSD) rates and a cut of five percentage points in loan-to-value limits on all housing loans granted by financial institutions.
