There are still low price property out there..
The problem, to me, is on the LTV (Loan to Value).
The 3rd loan is 70%, which is a big challenge..
Best time to buy house now?

Before 2011, these was considered subprime.The problem, to me, is on the LTV (Loan to Value). The 3rd loan is 70%, which is a big challenge.. |

Best time to buy a house will always be now.
Things to consider is should u go for loan or cash. If cash, by all means go ahead, you wont lose. If loan, u nid to recalculate everything.. Anyway, I still feel the stagnant market is gonna end soon Sooner or later it will be back to normal. |

It was looking like a week of wound-licking for Asian stocks. Then crude oil entered a bear market and alarm bells rang on China’s slowdown as tech stocks plunged. Just like that, the region’s equity benchmark erased weekly gains and posted its sixth slide in seven weeks. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index slumped 1.2 percent Friday, worsening the wipeout that already erased $4.3 trillion of market value this year.
It’s anyone’s guess how regional stock markets will do on Monday but it isn’t looking good right now: the S&P 500 Index dropped 0.9 percent Friday and futures contracts on the Nikkei 225 fell. Of note: energy companies were, by far, the biggest decliners, followed by tech shares as Tencent Holdings sank almost 5 percent. Watch for its quarterly results next week — analysts expect the giant will report its slowest revenue increase in more than three years. One thing that might be worth keeping an eye on is data around China’s consumption — car sales fell for a fifth month and and Ctrip.com International joined the likes of Baidu and Alibaba Group Holding in being unable to avoid the economic slowdown. Also throwing cold water on the recovery is the U.S. dollar, which resumed its appreciation as the Federal Reserve signaled it’s still ready to increase rates in December. The strong greenback has been a key concern for investors in the region, as it’s weakened local currencies and triggered massive outflows from emerging-market assets. There are also some country-specific news to keep in mind: https://www.financialexpress.com/market/asi...deeper/1377614/ For those waiting for stock market crash to impact property market. a major difference between stock and property market is liquidity.

QUOTE(leodinouknow @ Nov 11 2018, 10:13 AM) Future can always t predicted although not with 100% certainty. All you have to do is due diligence and some logical thinking.When buy property, is not simply hentam one. You must look at the development of the area as a whole. Remember when demand is up, property price goes up, very simple logic. So just look at the factors where demand can be driven up, which includes job creation, population increase, shift of demography factors like age, income level, marital status, citizenship status, etc. |

Singapore used to have a young foreign workforce to soak up the excess property. But now due to change in their immigration policies, less foreign people are coming in and this results in a downturn in property prices. You'll only know these things if you lived there.
