COOLING MEASURES coming

MND is daft in not quickly putting in cooling measures. A 50% max cap on loans taken on property will sufficiently cool the market to sane levels.

It will also benefit CPF and financials as the money would be invested in profit driven ventures instead.

No wonder PAP keeps losing ground every GE. They're getting complacent.

increase ABSD to 25% will put an end to these.
But wait, is the government more interested in tax revenue or taming the rally?

Your suggestions will put the whole property financial industry and SG's at risk when inflation hits and interests skyrockets.

A 50% cap on loans will allow only affordable individual who will not default or less probability of default. It is also the natural way that those with the money will get to eat what they want. We want to bring down gradually the market, not crash it.

Nothing will stop escalating prices as long as you allow foreign purchases. Whether it is 25% ABSD or zero % loans. Tiongs and Honkies will scoop up the properties with hard cash.

Therein lies the key point: for HDB flats, two PRs can buy a resale HDB flat. Of course well-heeled FTs can go nuts and splurge on condos. :wink:
