Very good detail in explanation. Actually nowadays is pretty hard go make money from property. Putting up huge amount down-payment in property and refinance in long term. The amount of efforts seems too much for that 3.8% gain. Perhaps its better payout to put in reits.

@cpchow66752 жыл бұрын
Great analysis as always. I came to a similar conclusion with my own analysis as well; I would be really happy to just "break-even", if compared to a continue staying in HDB scenario. Besides the opportunity cost (cost of the money) of paying the condo mortgage and maintenance fees, I also factored in inflation. Another thing that is to consider is can we extrapolate to price of HDB when you want to switch back eventually, since BTO is not an option. But then again like you said, a home is something very close to the heart. The aspects of feeling good, having facilities for yourself and kids, the vicinities, is hard to put a number to it. Some agents that I spoke to tells me it's all about the timing. I think there is some truth to it when you look retrospectively, but who can predict really? Does the agent pay for the loses if the predictions were wrong (they don't, they always earn). So, there the conflict of interest with agents will remain.

2013 was a peak of our Property market, that's why TDSR implemented in 2013. After TDSR implemented many new condo near to MRT price dropped or stay stagnant for few years. (Why? because without TDSR, Developer selling at very high profit margin especially for the City fringe condo near MRT, buyer willing to pay because of the MRT and location) To have a clearer picture, also need to study about some resale condo bought in 2011-2013. Compare with the price today. also study about new condo bought in 2011-2013 that NOT near MRT at suburban area. compare with the price today. After Study about this 3 types of Property, u will see the differences in price trend. What about the Project launch in 2015-2016 after TDSR and ABSD implemented?

actually the real IRR is even less as the actual owner bought it 2.153m. Also can I add my own opinion? Yes indeed, it doesn't sound very attractive when it is 3.8% but i think we must factor in the fact that the owner did stay there for 8 years. This means he managed to stay at a place for free and still make a profit out of it. I think thats not too shabby. Yes, the stock market may provide better returns on average but it also brings higher volatility (which many people will lose sleep over) and you cannot stay in your portfolio of stocks. I think property has its place as a low volatility investment that still brings reasonable returns for most people. :)

This is an interesting video and very well done. That being said, selling a HDB to buy a condo is not only a dollars and cents situation. Even if the end point financially is hypothetically the same (to ultimately stay in a 4 room HDB) to stay put in the HDB vs buying a condo and then downgrade, however, one of the biggest plus point of upgrading is a change of environment for the family to stay in a condo with the ability to enjoy facilities and these experiences cannot be bought or exchanged by dollars and cents. While there is always risks and other factors in buying a property, however, all things being equal with same end point or outcome,, it still makes sense to upgrade to a condo and then downgrade.

The comparison must have enough time period for a full property cycle. Buying and downgrade within 8 years may not see the needed capital gain especially we are in many years of property curbs. Secondly, not clear in the video, did you split out the principal repayment from the actual interest cost when we do monthly repayment to count the final profit. Finally, there is leverage factor so there is dependency on how much cash we actually injected vs loan to compute IRR which itself may not be meaningful since the absolute profit could be case. Lastly, should we include the loan cost attached to a 4 rm HDB if one has purchase it instead of condo to compute the final profit when you downgrade.
