Margaret Drive hawker centre will open next month, the value of those pigeon holes might be boosted by that.

tiong also part of the plan mah. else u think keep locking down shanghai ports for what?

shanghai isn't only port in tiongkok

without exporting to yanks, where else can they export?

of coz, it's because tiongs recognize paper currency called US$

if tiongs recognized paper currency called zimbabwean dollars, individual zimbabweans could have paid tiongs trillions of zimbabwean dollars for tiongkok goods.

more apt comparison should be russkie rubes and iranian rials.

if russkies and iranians demand that their oil/gas/fertilizers/food can be purchased only in local currency i.e. only in russkie rubles or eyeranian rials, a lot of problems they face would be solved.

no middlemen dollar, euro, pound, yen need to be used.

to buy russkie goods, first sell them something (whatever they want to buy) and earn russkie rubles, then use that russkie rubles to pay for russkie oil, gas, fertilizer, minerals, food.

ditto for eyeranians.

to buy eyeranian oil, gas, minerals, first sell them something (whatever they want to buy and earn eyeranian rials in exchange), and then use that eyeranian rial to pay for eyeranian oil, gas, minerals.

of coz eyeran is a much weaker, backward country, unable to be the best in the world in just about anything. that is true for other mediocre countries like turkey paki bangla indon niggeria kazakhstan egypt etc as well.

only explanation might be IQ and Race

shanghai is the largest port in the world lor. dun sell then sell to who? whole world is buying.
 
Stupig feds.
The price increase are due to climate change policies and supply chain issues.
The carbon tax preventing oil companies from exploring and extracting more oil and gas.
Shale oil and gas producers sitting on more reserve than that in saudi. Biden no need to beg saudi to pump more oil. Just a incentive for US oil companies to start working is needed.

doesn't matter
it's not the only port in the world
not the only port in tiongkok either
 
FOMO is never good. It'll be fun to see negative equity (property price way below loan valuation). We haven't see this in Singapore yet but there is always a first. Our very own little sub-prime crisis. Then again, Singapore is not like other countries where one can simply walk away from their loan obligations.
I feel that the issue is with 40-50 years old HDB. Even if they are in prime areas like clementi, time-decay sets in (depreciation), harder to get loans for new buyers, their prices can't move as much as <20 years old HDB. Then FOMO sets in, everyone aims new and avoid old, causing the price gap to widen.

Just my observation.
 
even then when FD rates goes beyond cpf rate. cpf rates will go out else people would be questioning cpf.

Yes you are right, with the soaring interest rates environment, soon Fixed Deposits will yield more than 2.6%pa. If they got spare cash, they may also consider taking some HDB loan at 2.6%pa and then happily park their spare cash elsewhere.

Or maybe those who can buy million dollar HDB in resale market don't loan much. Pay $500-600psf for large unit, rent out to 6pax (max) can get $3000-5000 a month which is a decent yield.
