The ultra rich guys are of different league compare to most of us. They can buy cash and hold it for years.
They also have the bargaining power on the terms and conditions and prices too.
They take up 10 properties at once for price way, way cheaper than market price. And for only one reason ... these ultra rich are businessmen/women. Their REAL asset is their business. Properties are just to "park" their cash for hedging against inflation or tax. If their businsss go down the hole, they may need to liquidate their properties to pay off or collateralize their properties for cash.
Bankers are not property manager, they are money managers. They prefer cash (or equivalent) to balance their balance sheet.
At "injury" time, the overleveraged will suffer the most. Businessmen (not all) have higher chances to survive.
Look at Tan Sri William Cheng ... owed Rm2 billion since 1997 ... still living the luxury life.Â

Ultra rich are more likely to buy in sg, london and australia.

I notice some property launch in 2013 & Q1 2014 still can't finish selling, good location but price slight above average of that area, seem like buyer really picky, they will compare under construction with newly complete unit, no more die must buy, any garbage also people buy, 10-15% extra also they will give it a miss.
Market on 2nd half & GST doesn't look like going to have significant impact on market sentiment.Â

Developers are keeping these units for r.e agents to cari makan else r.e. agents got no energy to blow water.
Price doubled in 3 years, what is 6% gst?
