MARKET ANALYSIS

Property Market Trends for 2015 By Getty Goh

In Jan 2014, we shared why we thought 2014 could be a turbulent for the property market (https://sg.news.yahoo.com/blogs/property-blog/4reasons-why-2014-could-turbulent-stakeholders-singapore-002122856.html). To recap, the bearish outlook for 2014 was due to the following reasons: (1) more residential units being completed and coming online, (2) more resale units entering into the market as units affected by the Seller Stamp Duty (SSD) clear the 4 years mark, (3) the pool of potential buyers has shrunk significantly. Looking back, the assessment from our research team has not been too far off. The index dropped from the peak of 216.3 in 2013Q3 to 207.9 in 2014Q3, which translates to a drop of about 4%.

What should you do in 2015? So the question on everyone’s mind right now is what is going to happen to the real estate market in 2015? Is it a good time to enter or should you wait? And if you enter into the market, where and what should you buy?

Have units in prime locations become more affordable? Several weeks ago, some property developers cautioned that the cooling measures were adversely affecting the Singapore market and even forecasted an impending fire sale if the market malaise was to continue. Naturally, some homebuyers may be wondering if it is timely to venture into the prime districts and buy a unit directly from developers. To answer that question, let us first compare the median prices of properties in the different parts of Singapore. Based on Figure 1, it can be seen that median PSF prices for non-landed residential units for Core Central Region (CCR), Rest of Central Region (RCR) and Outside Central Region (OCR) are S$1,457, S$967 and S$923 respectively. While prices in CCR have dropped, as a whole, it is still much higher than RCR and OCR. This means that, although prices in prime areas have fallen, those who are thinking of getting a home there must be prepared to still pay a substantial amount. Figure 1: Comparison of Median PSF Prices in Singapore from 2004Q1 to 2014Q3 $1,457.16

Let us tackle the first question – what is going to happen to the real estate market in 2015? 2014 has been a lacklustre year and unless the government removes any lending measures, it is envisaged that 2015 will be no different. Some investors are of the view that a market recovery could be on the way as the market downturn, which happened during the Global Financial Crisis in 2008, only lasted for 12 months. However, what they fail to realise is that the market conditions then were very different and the current malaise is done intentionally to rein in the inflated property market. Historically, market downtrends have lasted between 10 and 15 quarters. As we are only halfway through, investors and stakeholders must be mentally prepared for the quiet market to persist for at least another 6 to 12 months. For those who are interested to have the historical URA private property index since 1975, you can download the data here for free.

What about those who are looking for a place to stay and do not have the flexibility to wait? For homebuyers, here are some pointers you may want to look out for‌

Time flies and January has already passed by in a blink. With 2015 upon us, it is timely for us to take stock to see how 2014 did, and at the same time, forecast how this year would be like.

In view of the dull market outlook, property investors may want to sit out of the Singapore property market for the time being. Unless the deal is exceptionally attractive, investors who enter into the market right now must be mentally prepared to see the value of their assets drop in the coming months.

SINGAPORE New sale or resale residential units? In view that there will be excessive supply coming onto the market, some buyers may be of the view the it could make more sense to get a unit directly from developers as they believe that they could be getting a better deal. However, when we compare the median PSF prices for completed and uncompleted units, they tell us a different story (see Figure 2 to Figure 4). In terms of pricing, the new launch and resale median prices for CCR has the smallest difference of about S$71psf. However, the new and resale median prices for RCR and OCR have larger differences of about S$221psf and S$214psf. Figure 2: PSF comparison between completed and uncompleted units in CCR (2014Q3) 1,800.00

$1,500.84

1,600.00 1,400.00

$1,429.83

1,200.00 1,000.00 800.00 600.00 400.00 200.00

From this simple analysis, we can tell that resale units for RCR and OCR are more value for money and those who are looking for deals should focus on those properties instead. For those who are looking to buy a unit in CCR, the difference between new and resale units is not too significant, hence it suggests that there could be a possibility for homebuyers to find deals directly from developers there.

Conclusion In conclusion, as long as the cooling measures remain, I really do not expect any significant change to the property market in the coming months, or even for the whole of 2015. That said, I concede that I may have oversimplified some considerations in this article and this assessment is based on current market conditions. The situation could change overnight if the government starts to lift some of the measures. Nonetheless, this article is meant to put some context to the lacklustre market performance that we have been seeing for the past few months. Similar to what I mentioned last year, I have definitely misread the property market before and this is one instance where I am hoping my assessment is wrong. But looking at the current situation, it is hard to see any silver lining so property owners should expect a bumpy road ahead.

About ‘TOX’: TOX stands for Transaction Over X-Value. Each month, SRX algorithms compare the actual transacted value for each unit in a district with its X-Value. The X-Value is a computer-generated estimate of the market value for a home, and the difference between the median transacted price and the district’s X-Value is the TOX. Comment from Jeremy Lee, Co-Founder of SRX - “Like the COV, TOX is a forward indicator on how heated the market is. A positive number means people are paying above recent transactions. Likewise, a negative number means people are paying below recent transactions, causing downward pressure on prices. The bigger the number, the faster the pace of price increase or decrease.

SPOTLIGHT

SINGAPORE

SEA’s First Real Estate Crowdfunding Site ‘CoAssets’ seals S$1 million investment Platform enhancements and regional expansion planned Singapore, 12 February 2015 – CoAssets, Southeast Asia’s first real estate crowdfunding platform, has closed a Series A S$1 million investment round by private investors, at a S$13 million valuation. An earlier round of funding was supported by Expara IDM Ventures and private investor Dr Jeffrey Chi, Managing Director of Vickers Venture Partners (VVP) and Chairman of the Singapore Venture Capital & Private Equity Association. This round of investment will support platform enhancements and regional expansion. Mr Getty Goh, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of CoAssets said, “Crowdfunding is quite a new concept, and is completely new for the property sector within Asia. The CoAssets platform brings together property developers who are looking for alternative financing and investors looking for investment diversification. There is huge potential in this model, and we will build our leadership in the space.” CoAssets has crowdfunded S$36 million for more than 15 projects to date. Investors in those projects have received pay-outs of $120,000 in total, averaging a return of ten to 20 per cent. A Malaysia office is already operating. The company will launch in Australia in the next few months. CoAssets, launched in July 2013, crowdfunds for residential and commercial properties in Asia, Australia, the UK and the US. It is growing rapidly, with membership increasing from 200 to over 6,000, across Singapore, Malaysia and the region. The platform provides developers, agents and home or land owners with an alternative source of funding for their properties, linking them to investors who are keen on co-developing projects and co-purchasing units.

Mr Robert Reynolds, seen here with Mr Getty Goh at the Expo for Property Investing and Crowdfunding (EPIC) 2014.

Crowdfunding is a rapidly growing global industry. Massolution, a research firm specialising in crowdsourcing and crowdfunding, reported US$2.7 billion was raised by crowdfunding platforms in 2012, funding over a million campaigns that were donation, reward, lending and equity based; they estimate US$5.1 billion was raised in 2013. Dr Chi, who is also a mentor to the start-up, said, “CoAssets has great potential, as the first to market in Southeast Asia. It is managed by a very experienced team and the business model has proven successful, with over S$1 million in revenue in their first year.” CoAssets reported revenue of S$1 million last August, based on a combination of collected income and MOUs signed with various developers who used the crowdfunding platform. Developer Thai Treasures Pte Ltd used the platform for its The Lai Thai Luxury Condominiums project, listing two units on CoAssets, providing an option to co-purchase or co-own. Investors receive returns when the units are rented out and will receive returns when the units are sold. Thai Treasures made a first pay-out, of seven per cent, to its crowdfunders in September 2014.

Dr Chi, seen here with Mr Getty Goh at the inaugural Expo for Property Investing and Crowdfunding (EPIC) 2014.

About Getty Goh

“CoAssets has brought a very useful financing model for developers like us, with investment needs that may be too small for bigger financial institutions and yet too large for the average investor,” stated Mr Robert Reynolds, Director of Thai Treasures. Investors using the platform are safeguarded by a number of measures, including personal guarantees signed by developers, agents and home or land owners who list projects, as well as a cap of S$5 million on the total investment amount. About CoAssets.com

He is also a director with Ascendant Assets Pte Ltd. In 2012, Getty was awarded the Successful Entrepreneur Platinum Award as well as Promising SME 500 Platinum Award.

FINANCE

UNDERSTANDING YOUR CREDIT REPORT Did you know that Credit Bureau Singapore (CBS), Singapore’s consumer credit bureau, launched an enhanced version of your consumer credit report in December 2014? The enhanced credit report displays your aggregate credit limits and aggregate outstanding balances across Financial Institutions (FIs), which will help you better manage your total debt. These enhancements come in place as FIs are now required to review every borrower’s credit file upon their credit facility application. The implementation is aimed at increasing an FI’s ability to thoroughly assess a borrower’s credit worthiness before granting credit. In this article, we tell you more about your credit report. Your credit report provides a holistic view of your credit payment habits. By keeping track of your credit report on a regular basis, you will be better informed of any changes that have been made to your credit file. This in turn helps you manage your credit reputation more effectively as well as stay mindful of what the lenders know about you. With the enhanced credit report, you can also make better borrowing decisions for future credit applications. Furthermore, borrowers who are at risk of credit problems can avoid running into deeper debt, while those who are over-geared can take steps to reduce their outstanding debt. An individual’s credit report contains information that is uploaded by the Bureau’s members on a monthly basis. The data is then consolidated and sorted into sections.

The New Treasure in Jurong Lake District Lakeville ~ A Home By The Lake

The jewel

at the centre of a transformative landscape - Lakeville is the newest condominium launch within the up-and-coming ‘Central Business District of the West’ - the Jurong Lake District. Jurong is already in the process of transforming into a regional centre with the completion of 2 hospitals, the Ng Teng Fong Hospital (which will begin operations in July 2015) and the Jurong Community Hospital, as well as the opening of the first hotel, Genting Hotel, in Jurong come May 2015.The Singapore Science Centre will also relocate by 2020 to its new grounds just next to the Chinese Gardens MRT station, which will house 4 to 5 edu-tainment centres. To fulfill Singapore's ambition to be the first Smart Nation in the world, the Jurong Lake district has been singled out to be the test bed for the smart city plans. Trials for the first driverless buggies were implemented in the Chinese and Japanese Gardens in October 2014. Trials will also soon begin in the Jurong Lake district, to place sensors that can detect air pollutants, heavy rainfall and traffic congestions via fibre-optic lines at street lamps and bus stops Such ambitious new plans to make Jurong a business and leisure centre will likely boost home prices. And with the possibility of the high speed rail (which will connect Singapore to Kuala Lumpur, and possibly to Thailand and all the way to China) terminal to be built in Jurong, many will look to Jurong as a strategic gateway to Asean and China.

Muse West End

your opportunity to invest in a new world city.

Brisbane based developer Stockwell has recently released their sixth residential development in Brisbane; Muse West End. A mid-rise apartment complex is located in the idyllic leafy suburb of West End, an area that is framed by the Brisbane River, less than 3km from the Brisbane Central Business District (CBD). Elevated above a range of small coffee bars, food outlets and stores with an urban landscaped private garden, Muse will comprise 132 spacious one and two bedroom apartments over two buildings. The development is surrounded by a vast array of amenities such as fitness centres, cafes, restaurants and transport options including buses and ferries that go direct to the CBD, universities, museums and the popular South Bank precinct – all in less than 10 minutes. Muse will be a highly sought after address for professionals and students looking for a convenient and modern lifestyle.

Located on the eastern seaboard of Australia in the State of Queensland, Brisbane enjoys close proximity to Asia via regular flights direct from Brisbane International Airport to Hong Kong and Singapore. People are drawn to Brisbane for its sub-tropical climate, fresh air and ease of work-life balance. Brisbane has a positive economic status, quality education facilities, such as Brisbane State High School and The University of Queensland (UQ) - one of the top 100 universities worldwide*, and world class events, art exhibitions at and international conferences such as the G20.


During weekends and public holidays many residents also take the opportunity to venture out of the city to relax and enjoy a vast array of the natural wonders such as the Gold Coast or Sunshine Coast, mountainous nature walks, exquisite gardens, vineyards and ocean adventures, of which all are under two hour’s drive from the city. Brisbane is one of the fastest-growing capital cities in Australia in terms of population and employment. Residents are young and skilled, highly educated and culturally-diverse. Nearly 70 per cent of Brisbane’s population is of working age (15 to 64 years) - higher than the Australian average and equal to over 1.4 million people. The Greater Brisbane population has grown rapidly over the past decade, averaging 2.2 per cent annually, which has seen an additional 440,000 residents move to the city from both interstate and overseas, bringing the population to over 2.1 million people. A quarter of Brisbane residents were born overseas and more than 17 per cent of households speak a language other than English at home. The region is set to continue to be one of Australia’s fastest-growing, with the Queensland Government forecasting Brisbane’s population to grow to nearly 3 million by 2031. There are exciting plans to continue the development of this vibrant city into a new world city for the future. A new entertainment and recreational hub in West End, titled the Kurilpa Riverfront Renewal project, is a primary

focus of the Brisbane City Council and Queensland. Located less than 1km from Muse, the precinct will include approximately one kilometre of river frontage and more than 25 hectares of land to facilitate the renewal of the land that adjoins West End and South Brisbane. It will be designed to optimise the commercial potential of the area and provide development certainty while delivering significant community infrastructure and amenities, the proposed plan includes a mix of high-quality commercial, retail and residential development along with significant new public spaces and enhanced streets. Stockwell has over 60 years experience in the industry. In 2002 the Brisbane owned and operated company developed the first residential apartment complex in West End. Since then, Stockwell have added to that portfolio with three residential developments in West End and one in Dutton Park – all of which are managed by Stockwell Property Management. Muse offers an opportunity to invest with a reliable developer that has a history of producing quality residential developments in Brisbane. Marketed by AUSWELL GROUP SINGAPORE.

Penang is strategically located in the centre of the Growth Triangle of Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand (IMT-GT). IMT-GT currently consists of 14 provinces in Southern Thailand, 8 states of Peninsular Malaysia and 10 provinces in the island of Sumatra in Indonesia. The IMT-GT sub-region is a classic growth triangle, characterized by many economic complementarities, geographical proximity and close historical, cultural and linguistic ties, thus making Penang the key logistic hub for good communication and infrastructure. This has further boosted the tourism and real estate industry in Penang.

Penang’s Recent Development At A Glance Penang accounted for about 50% of the country’s medical tourism and the significance of this industry prompted the setting up of the Malaysia Healthcare Travel Council (MHTC) Concierge and Lounge at the Penang International Airport in July 2014 to provide information on health tourism in Penang. Malaysia’s first subterranean Penang International Convention and Exhibition Centre (SPICE) in Relau which is expected to be completed in 2015 and the RM346 Million Penang Waterfront Convention Centre (PWCC) by IJM Land at the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu expressway in 2017 will make Penang to be the new destination for Meetings, Incentives, Conventions & Exhibition (MICE) tourism hub. Its partner, Suntec International will be managing the convention centre. Upon completion, both convention centres are expected to attract business investors and tourists to Penang.

The New Housing Policy Penang State Government has implemented a new housing rule with effect from 1 February 2014 to ensure that genuine qualified first time buyers will have roofs over their head with the following policies which took effect on 1 March 2014:

Low-Cost / Low-Medium-Cost All low-cost (up to RM42,000) and low-medium-cost (up to RM72,500) homes cannot be sold within 10 years from the date of Sale & Purchase Agreement. This covers past and future purchases. Those who wish to sell can appeal to the State Government and can only be sold to “registered and qualified purchasers”.

Affordable Housing 80,000 units of affordable housing will be built with allocation of RM1.3 Billion under the 1Malaysia People’s Housing Programme, This will enable more people to own houses with the monthly ceiling household income raised from RM8,000 to RM10,000.

In September 2014, the Penang State Government announced that a fully integrated system on public transportation in Penang will be implemented from now until 2030 under the Penang Transport Master Plan Strategy. It will include components such as improved highway network, light rail transit (LRT), bus rapid transit (BRT), trams and new ferry services. In line with this vision, the completion of the new system will further boost the tourism industry in Penang. It was recently announced that an Electric Train Service (ETS) linking Kuala Lumpur to Butterworth will be operational in July 2015. A total of 10 new coach sets will be running in stages by January 2016.

Affordable housing is defined as below RM400,000 on the Island and RM250,000 on the mainland. Homes under this category cannot be sold within 5 years from the date of Sales & Purchase Agreement. Similarly to the above, those who wish to sell can appeal to the State Government and can only be sold to “registered and qualified purchasers”. The Penang State Government has also proposed Malaysia’s first ever Shared Ownership Scheme (SOS), a joint purchase initiative between the State Government and households who cannot obtain sufficient finance to buy low-cost homes. The State Government will offer 30% interest-free loan and the households need only raise a capital for the remaining 70%. The 30% loan can be repaid at any time or remain in shared ownership, paying off the loan only when the property is sold.

PROPERTY ANALYSIS Chart 8 Price Index of Pre-war Properties (1980 – H1 2014)

A Likely Scenario For 2015 The volume of transactions in 2015 is expected to marginally decline with sales take-up rates affected by tighter loan eligibility. Property prices are not expected to soften. Inflationary effect on land and development costs coupled with GST introduction as well as the reduction in new launches and supply are anticipated to take its toils on the property market. A large part and well-known part of the affordability problem on Penang Island is the lack of suitable and available land for development. The cost of land will continue to rise as demand continues to outstrip supply. Notwithstanding a lower index of affordability, this problem is further compounded by falling rates of housing stock growth which places even greater pressure on the existing and incoming desirable housing stock. As part of the property market cooling measures, speculative demand is evaporating but no major correction in property prices is expected on the back of GDP growth momentum. Buyers generally remain confident in the long-term economic and investment fundamentals of the market. Discerning buyers are cautiously optimistic.

The current average transacted prices are between RM800 to RM1,600 per sq. foot. Today, prices of prewar properties are 5x prices recorded 10 years ago. CAGR is 14.9% (2003 – H1 2014) Penang’s pre-war heritage property market has faced many challenges as well as excitement, but one thing is pretty certain: The market is resilient and will always come upon top. It has the charm of outstanding universal value that showcases George Town’s unique historical and architectural buildings. Limited supply with good listings are selective and rare which makes it a good prospect for capital

Penang is underpinned by healthy fundamentals such as a young population demographic (2/3 of Penang’s population is less than 40), shrinking average household sizes (about 3.5 per household), low unemployment rate, vibrant local and foreign investments, stable income levels and bright job opportunities. The overall property market is healthy with credit growth underpinned by strong domestic liquidity and continuing credit flows. Property markets rise and dip, but the long-term trend is upwards because of growing populations, urbanization, new infrastructure development and people’s desire to improve their living standards.

CHINA INSIGHT by Vigers Holdings Ltd Chinese home prices may edge up in 2015 China reported property sales of RMB 6,448.1 billion in Jan-Nov 2014, down 7.8% year-on-year and trimming 0.1 percentage point against Jan-Oct 2014. Of which, sales in homes and office properties dropped 9.7% and 20.9% respectively, whilst that in commercial properties moved up 7.2%. In fact, residential market appeared to have got strong boost, after recent policy announcements in the real estate sector. Benefited from the new policies on home mortgages and interest rate slash by central bank, home prices in some cities started to see monthly rebounds, whereas that from tier-1 cities (Shanghai, Shenzhen and Guangzhou) stabilised in October. Beijing’s home price even got a slight rebound of 0.3%.

Continued slowdown in growth of Chinese economy is expected to be seen next year. However, inflation and unemployment are likely to remain stable. For the Chinese economy, exports will act as an upside catalyst, whilst downside risk will be from the real estate industry. Tracking sluggish real estate sales this year, total real estate investment may stay weak till early next year. Nonetheless, given the high inventory levels in most cities, lengthening time for developers to have their land bank digestion, substantial market demand during the previous periods, and completion in home price correction is still waited to be seen. Whether the recent warmer market will be sustainable next year will very much depend on the additional effects from recent policy changes, alongside the higher market demand resulted from developers’various home sales discounts. We see mainland housing price have mild growth in 2015.
