New BTO framework - Will moving up the property ladder get harder? | Heart of the Matter podcast

I still can’t qualify to by a single 2 bed flexi and can’t afford to buy a resell flat due to high price. This changes still does not help single getting a home.

[@contrarian2496]

Prime locations for the elites, Standard/Plus locations for the poor. Overtime prime locations appreciate greater in value and holds value better than regular locations. For example, 50 years old prime location Tiong Bahru HDB sold for $1.5Million

[@nicklee7002]

Prime or non-prime location is actually subjective; it depends on how the govt develop the area around it; prime can turn into non-prime and vice- versa.

[@munster1404]

I moved into my flat during the 1980s when I was in primary school. BTO system didn’t exist then. It is a 5 room corner apartment on the top floor and has a MRT station nearby. In my mid twenties, ownership passed to me. I paid off the instalments in one lump sum before 33 years old using cash and CPF. Technically, I can’t outlive the lease. I’m not flipping properties either. I’m lucky in a way to reside in a old fashioned larger HDB (newer 5 room flats are like 3 to 4 room flats of my generation.) so I don’t understand the acute need to “upgrade”.

[@anglo-saxonconnor817]

You just need to limit the number of people who can be housing agents in Singapore and it will have an immediate effect on curbng housing speculation price down.

[@pohkhui]

Back in 1972, my father told me, we don't own the flat. We rent the flat, paying rental. When time up, gov will take back the flat. That's the mindset I have since then. Hence, when someone said HDB value turn zero, is nothing surprises to me. 😊

But govt will twist it in a way that u own the flat lol😂

@@pohkhui Don’t defend the government simply for the sake of defending them. One Moment claiming that Citizens OWNED their HDB flats and Singaporean has one of the “highest home ownerships in the world”, while next moment stating that it’s on leasehold then attempting to restrict this and that! So are you saying that RENTAL units from government are worth it so it’s justifiable that hundreds of thousands of dollars are DEDUCTED from your limited CPF?! 🤦🏼🤦🏼 At the end of your life when you are old, you accumulated NO Assets cause everything you have build up has been taken away from you. Your youth and productivity has been SUCKED DRY by the state and you are ok with that. 😂🤣

[@ivancen5020]

@@Callsign-Blade_RunnerSG it's similar to products u buy with "lifetime" warranty. It could be the lifetime of the product cycle, the company, etc. Here the flat is sold to someone and belongs to him for his lifetime ie he won't be left without a roof above his head after buying it. So don't be sour and want the cake and still eat it. Policies in SG are meant to benefit progressive people who contribute to society, not people who just want to be sure-win investers who just shake leg and collect money.

[@hhspore]

Well directed hosting by the show host. A very sensible interviews with equally good interviewers esp Nicholas Mak and Christine Sun. Hope to get more of these podcasts on key events/national subject matters by Steve. Thank you !

[@ivanngrealtor]

Just my 2 cents opinion, restrictions for prime/plus resale can be recalibrated along the way, the income ceilings can be adjusted upwards as well, nobody can predict what is coming. From my small sample size on the ground, this new framework is already having an impact now on hdb resale properties near MRT that has no such restrictions. The sellers are asking for higher prices in view that future ones near mrt will probably be plus or prime flats with more restrictions. The regulation where you cannot rent out the whole flat for plus and prime flats is a big dampener of interest. And even with all these restrictions, it does not mean HDB will price plus/prime below current bto price levels

[@ChoseNTuber]

dude, i BTO-ed 7x and DIDNT GET MY BTO FLAT! Until my wife (then girlfriend) and my income was too high to BTO (salary ceiling was 12k then). My first BTO was Dakota Breeze in May 2017. In the end bought resale just before my salary increase to secure the total 70k grant from HDB (Proximity 20k and 50kt of first timer grant)

[@andrewie4]

Nicholas mak!! Yoohoo. So long no see him. Good to have him. PLEASE have Sam Gian Too. Another solid ppty guru!!! Unbias outlook from him

[@saikoloji]

“DO YOU KNOW YOU’RE SITTING ON A PILE OF GOLD?” 😂😂😂😂

[@hongganproductions]

Many interesting insights brought up by the agents. But I thought another important restriction that was not discussed is the income ceiling of 14K. Million dollar resale flats exist today because there is no income ceiling and those who are rich can afford to pay this price. However with the income ceiling, there is a "theoretical maximum amount" that a Prime/Plus owner can resell the flat for, because with 14K combined income, one can only afford so much. Price the flat over a million and there'll be few buyers who can afford it (with 14K). So I believe the price of such Prime/Plus flats will plateau over time or grow in tandem with the income ceiling. As far as we try to analyse and forecast the future, the fact is that none of us are prophets and nobody can accurately foresee what is to come, even the Govt. When the first batches of PLHs enter the resale market, that will be the first time we will actually have accurate information on how the market will react. I hope that the Govt monitors this closely and be ready to respond with additional policies if anything goes awry.

[@flowertowerrr]

It will dampen prices across the board

[@lynnchua1890]

Harder for private property owners to downgrade?

[@carnesir]

Rather fair point. For elders who wish to downgrade they are enable to, provided they do not have income anymore but are asset rich. This makes sense for Their retirement.

Still recalled its down to the last 10 units in the estate when it's my turn to choose at HDB hub. Eventually, I managed to get my flat with a number closed to the upper limit, and I have been staying in my punggol flat since. One might argue on quality and Affordability of our HDB flats.

[@nicklee7002]

10 years MOP for prime flat is still too short, should be 15 years to 20 years.

[@leexianlong6855]

New BTO framework or not is not the issue. The crux of the issue is of supply. The PAP's government mishandling of supply made HDB prices less affordable. Thus, the solution cannot be to introduce more measures base on the framework of BTO. BTO is the problem. The PAP's poor economic planning is the problem. There should be a complete abolishment of the BTO framwork and return the construction of HDBs over to the free market. The government's only role is to sell plots of land for competitive firms to bid. HDB would not have to worry about holding onto unsold inventories and hold up construction. Pass on the risks and construction over to competitive builders, who are subjected to the forces and regulation by demand and supply.

[@pathfinder1672]

They have already done this experiment and it failed - it is called DBSS. Look it up. It failed b'cos private developers started bidding higher price for the plot of land, and price higher selling price for bigger profit margin and give poor grade finishing. Lots of home buyers complained when receiving their flat keys

Nicalos said that clearly about the new key of rules .The 10 yrs Mop lock in period. It would mean 10yrs + another 4yrs to build . Ends up about 15 yrs lock in period.. These apply to plus and prime which is mature areas. Hence the resales flats for these areas especially 4-5rooms prices would shoot up next yr 2024 when new rules kick in. Coz after 2024 till 2039. No flats in plus and prime areas able to come in resales maket for next 15 yrs ,which would be consider shortage hence others resales flats in these areas demands would increase for sure

[@ChoseNTuber]

Wrong, it will shoot up in 2029, because even without the new change in HDB rules. New flats in plus and prime will only MOP in 2029, so your base case of HDB flats in those areas available for sale is still the same, until 2029 where there will be no more supply from those that are supposed to MOP in 2024 and beyond...

[@antihunter]

15 years. is like a quarter of their lifetime. we wanted people to be entrepreneur but we are locking them to a high debt commitment. The waiting time and the selling time is quite disgusting as anything can happen during 15 years. Eventually HDB end up dealing with more appeals to selling than its intended purpose.

Short term, prices will not go down at all, existing standard HDBs remain same price, plus HDBs all will increase in price, prime also increase. After that in the long term, will price increase year on year be slower or remain the same is still in flux. Reason why people move to private is because HDB is valued at $0 by the end of their 99 lease so for generation wealth acculturation that is bad as every few generations your family have to spend 1 or few million so people will try to move to private freehold.

[@choyweide903]

During the transition between the new and the old categorisation BTO reaching MOP, there is a difference of 5 years between the MOP of the "Standard" as compared to "Plus" & "Prime". During these 5 years, with only 1/3 of the new BTO are avalaible in the resale market. Will we see another property bubble coming up because essentially we are reducing the supply of resale HDB by 2/3. This is assuming that we will continually have more BTO launches every year to cope with the demand so that it would't inflate the resale market? This is a huge risk the goverment has taken believing that there won't be any major crisis that might affect BTO launches in the next 10-15 years. We just hope that our goverment have made the right choice and everything will stablised after the 15-16th year when all the "Plus" & "Prime" BTO reached their MOP and enter the resale market.

@@nothingmoves yes that is my assumption. But it’s also an assumption that very few BTO will be under Plus and Prime.

The change is HDB classification probably arise from 2 main situations about affordability public housing. It seems that the govt finally woke up that HDB in its inception in 1961 was to provide affordable housing for all Singaporeans and not an asset to make profit. Trying to return to this fundamental takes time and they need to tweak it gradually. (2) Govt recognized that young working couples and singles find it hard to get a HDB flat within their. affordability of their choice, and the resale market went wild with influx of rich PRs. What the govt also need to address is the prices of resale & rental markets of HDB flats so that it balances the need of Singaporeans and Sg need of migrant workers who have lower income such as Work Permit holders & SPass holders.

[@Alvinwoon182]

HDB should allow couples that give birth within the 10 years MOP period to change without penalty. This will boost the birth rate

Obviously after 2024. The new 10 yrs mop rule kicks in for matures areas ( plus and prime areas). The first flat able to come in resales market after lock in 10+5 yr built =15 yrs which is H2 2024 +15=2039. So there would be a vacuum of 15 yrs shortage for resales in mature areas ( plus and prime areas )

Those that don't treat education seriously and end up with low-paying jobs have only themselves to blame. They should seek help if they face financial difficulty and not go around whining and bitching and blaming the govt for making flats unaffordable.🤣🤣

Singles get a raw deal

I think its a great Policy by PAP. The guy in the panel must not complain. Complaining is for losers abd lousy people. We need to psycho the new flat buyers. Singaporeans only need to work harder and its still highly affordable. I congratulate singaporeans for asset appreciation. I love it especially when i am not affected. 3 cheers for singaporeans 👏👏👏🤝

Reading from a script, Steven?

[@jsurfin1]

What's wrong with that? Even newscasters read off teleprompters.

[@esp4yu]

if you noticed, Steve can and would speak without Telepromter in most of his programmes. Besides if he did, he would have looked up instead of looking down on his Tablet. There is nothing wrong reading off a script, only that one need to look up once in a while instead of focusing on what to read.@@jsurfin1
