Since reaching the peak in 2011 for the prime and luxury residential property prices in Singapore real estate market, there is a drop of fifteen to twenty five percent which represent a good deal for investors who are of high and ultra high net worth status and who are doing comparison shopping between capitals. Such capitals comparison actually causes effect of capital transaction of luxury housing, new condominiums, new launch condo, etc which were actively changing hands at a rate of 165 percent higher in London and New York than in Singapore.
Interestingly, such huge gap is very attractive and understandably has been receiving great attention and interest especially from private equity and global property funds keenly seeking out good deals to buy multiple units of new condo launch projects from developers in bulk purchase deals. Family business entity and highly rich individuals are joining the bandwagon with keen interest towards making such bulk purchases.
One of the valid reasons which motivates developers to offer additional discounts is the extension charge imposed on developers’ unsold new condo units by the government. The basis for such extension charge is to prevent developers from hoarding the units when times are bad and wait out the downtime to pass over until buyers return when the good times kick in. Units remained unsold will be imposed with a charge of eight percent proportionally to the land cost at the first year followed subsequently by sixteen and twenty four percent in the second year and third year respectively.
