Private new home sales fell sharply in June as the lack of fresh project launches drove a 64% decline in transactions from May to June. Developers sold 488 new private homes (ex. Executive Condos) in June, declining from the robust 1,355 units transacted in the previous month, where new projects Piccadilly Grand and Liv @ MB spurred take-up. On a year-on-year basis, sales also came in lower, easing by 44% from June 2021.

June’s transaction numbers take the Q2 2022 new home sales to 2,504 units (ex ECs), which represents a 37.2% increase from the previous quarter. In the first half of 2022, developers sold an estimated 4,329 new homes.

The Core Central Region (CCR) led new private home sales in June, with 206 transactions – down by 4.2% from May. The top performing CCR projects in June were Haus on Handy which sold 21 units at a median price of $2,654 psf, Leedon Green which transacted 20 units at a median price of $2,843 psf, and Irwell Hill Residences which shifted 19 units at a median price of $2,876 psf.

Due to the lack of fresh projects, new home sales in the Rest of Central Region (RCR) in June fell markedly by 81% MOM to 171 units from the high base of 893 units in May, where the launch of Piccadilly Grand and Liv @ MB helped to supercharge sales in the sub-market. The best-selling RCR projects during the month were Riviere which sold 25 units at a median price of $2,856 psf, and Normanton Park which moved 21 units at a median price of $1,864 psf.

Meanwhile, just 111 new homes were sold in June in the Outside Central Region (OCR) amid depleting unsold inventory – sales were down by 55% from the previous month. The top sellers in the OCR in June were The Florence Residences which sold 20 units at a median price of $1,746 psf and The Watergardens at Canberra where 16 units were transacted at a median price of $1,463 psf.

In the EC segment, 8 new units were sold in June, posting a 60% fall from 20 transactions in May. The best-selling EC project in May was North Gaia EC, where 5 units changed hands at a median price of $1,303 psf.

Developers placed 397 new units (ex. ECs) for sale in June compared to the 1,240 units that were put on the market in May. In Q2 2022, developers launched an estimated 2,034 new private homes for sale.

Ms Wong Siew Ying, Head of Research & Content, PropNex Realty:

“The wane in new home sales in June as well as the magnitude of decline were expected, given that there were no fresh projects put up for sale during the month and considering the new-launches fuelled surge in sales in May. In addition, the resumption of international travel and the June holidays – where families tend to go on vacation abroad – may also have contributed to the slower market activities.

Generally, June’s sales performance did not detract much from the general narrative. That being, the lack of launches and dwindling unsold stock in the OCR continuing to weigh on the mass market sales volume, and that some buyers are finding CCR projects increasingly compelling, as the average transacted unit price ($PSF) gap continued to narrow between new private home sales in CCR and the RCR to 16.1% in June, compared to 21.4% in May (see Table 1).

Meanwhile, URA Realis caveat data showed that foreigners bought 11.7% of the new private homes (see Chart 1) sold in June – mainly in the CCR and RCR– rising from 6% in the previous month. Singaporeans accounted for nearly 76% of new home sales in June and we expect this number to rise in the coming months, as more mass-market projects are launched.

With the launch of AMO Residence on 23 July, we anticipate that new home sales this month should outperform that of June. In addition, some buyers may want to get transactions done before the Hungry Ghost month starts at the end of July.”

Steps to Upgrade to an HDB Resale Flat?

When can you upgrade from your HDB flat?

Usually, those who purchased HDB, must wait 5 years to sell HDB property and buy other private property. HDB properties have Minimum Occupation Period (MOP). During MOP period, you must live in the HDB flat you bought. During MOP, few things should not be done like:

Selling HDB flat
Buying a second HDB flat
Investing in other private property
Buying property in abroad

These rules are applicable for the resale HDB flat too. For 1-bedder there is no MOP but not for above 2 bedder HDB flats. Here are the guidelines for the above 2 bedroom flats:

Purchase Mode	MOP
Bought new HDB flat (including buying under SERS)	5 years
Bought new DBSS flat from developer	5 years
Bought resale flat with CPF housing grant	5 years
Bought Resale flat without grant (after Aug 2010)	5 years
Bought Resale flat without grant(Mar to Aug 2010)	3 years
Bought Resale flat without grant(before 5 Mar 2010)	2.5 years

Which property you can upgrade after MOP?

When your MOP is up, you have many options to purchase second property. Some of the most popular are:

Resale HDB flat: Investing resale HDB flat is the cheapest and easiest option, some of the prices of the flats are below $400,000. In HDB resale portal, you can find and purchase an HDB resale flat easily. Upgrading from HDB to a new HDB may not be much difference but upgrading to resale HDB flats in mature estates like Bishan and Queenstown are larger and more spacious. If you want to upgrade your home for good schools for your children.
Condominium: The most popular option for most HDB upgraders is condo properties. When a property becomes older property value also increases. According to the price, private condos are more expensive than resale HDB flats, mostly prices starting from $1.5 million.
Landed Property: landed properties are more expensive than condo properties, prices of landed properties start from $2 million, which is considered a cheap in cost for landed properties in Singapore. For upgrading any type of property, a property agent is needed to make the process easy. Kumar is one of the property agents in Singapore, he serves all the clients and also helps you to understand the property market. We’ll guide you step-by-step procedure for upgrading any property.

They not only help you in paperwork but also guide you to choose the right property and how to sell your first property above your market value.

The further step is to figure out all your requirement like location, no. of bedrooms, amenities and budget to buy a resale HDB flat. Next according to your requirements, find a resale HDB unit in different property portals else you can say to your agent for choosing the right property.

Step 2: Check the flat before you invest

Before you invest in resale HDB flat, book showflat appointment and visit the flat to check condition of the HDB resale unit. There are some other things to consider, they are

Ethnic and PR quota – You can check the status of this in HDB quota portal because it will change from month to month.
HDB Ownership – You should also make sure about the seller details like HDB is legally owned and met MOP or not.
Upgrading Works – Make sure about the payment of upgrading works wh should pay you or your seller.
HDB Resale Prices – according to your budget choose right property and quote right price by checking recent transacted HDB prices.
Leasehold Period – For every HDB leasehold will be 99 years. Before you invest in property check how many years left on the lease. Because of the lease, it may affect your home loans and how much of your CPF you can use. For the new CPF rules lease period should be atleast 20 years left on the lease, with the youngest buyer up to the age of 95 able to pay the lease using CPF.

Next procedure is exercise your option to purchase and pay a deposit to the seller.

Step 3: Start using HDB Resale Portal

To know exact transaction details, both buyer and seller need to browse HDB resale portal. Register with the HDB resale portal then it will say you what to do.

The price of a 5-room HDB resale flat can be anywhere from $400,000 (Sembawang) to $850,000 (Toa Payoh). Since most people don’t have such a lot of money lying around, grants are helpful. Unfortunately, HDB schemes are primarily aimed at first-time buyers. Second-time buyers can only apply for the Proximity Housing Grant. If you buy a resale flat within 4 kilometers of your parents or in-laws, it’s $20,000 if you get them to live with you. Importantly, these living arrangements must remain the same throughout the MOP.

Step 5: Finance your resale HDB

The Enhanced Contra Facility of HDB is the most useful scheme for upgraders. This allows you to sell your current HDB flat and buy a resale at the same time. The proceeds from your sale and your refunded CPF can be used to finance your new resale flat, reducing the amount of cash you’ll need up front and the amount of loan you’ll need. When it comes to financing your HDB upgrade, there’s actually a fixed order to follow.

Financing Method	Notes
Cash received by selling first HDB flat	You have to use atleast 50% for resale HDB
CPF (OA)	You can CPF use only when you don’t have cash and also you can withdrawal limit amount.
HDB loan	If you’re eligible, You can use after using cash & CPF
Bank loan	If you’re not eligible for HDB loan you can use but the loan limit is 75% for first mortgage) and 45% of second mortgage.

Step 6: Handovering your first HDB flat keys in 6 months

Last but not least is you can’t buy 2 HDB flats at a time so, you need to sell your HDB flat and handover keys to your buyer. Then only you can buy other HDB.

Condo resale prices rise for 22nd straight month in May, more units sold

Prices of resale condominium units edged up for the 22nd straight month in May, with transactions rising as buying sentiment improved despite property cooling measures. In May, condominium resale prices rose 0.3 per cent, lower compared with April’s 0.7 per cent, according to flash figures from real estate portals 99.co and SRX released on Tuesday (June 14).

Compared with May last year, prices were up by 8.4 per cent, data showed. In May, prices of condominiums in the city fringes went up by 0.7 per cent and those in the suburbs rose by 0.5 per cent, while those in the core central region fell by 1.2 per cent.

Huttons Asia chief executive Mark Yip said the successful launches of two projects in the city fringes – Piccadilly Grand in Farrer Park and LIV@MB in East Coast – resulted in demand spilling over to the resale market last month, which supported the rise in prices. Meanwhile, resale volume climbed by 1.6 per cent, with an estimated 1,572 units changing hands in May, up from 1,547 units in April.

Resale transactions declined by 11 per cent compared with May last year, but were still 40.2 per cent higher than the five-year average for the month of May. This could indicate the resale market is on its road to recovery, five months after property cooling measures were introduced last December, analysts said.

In December, the additional buyer’s stamp duty (ABSD) rates were raised from 12 per cent to 17 per cent for citizens buying their second residential property, and from 15 per cent to 25 per cent for those buying their third and subsequent ones.

For foreigners buying any residential property, the ABSD is 30 per cent, up from 20 per cent. Resale volume has been rising since March with the easing of Covid-19 restrictions, rebounding from the six-month decline starting last September.

The strong buying sentiment in the condominium resale market was reflected in the new sale market last month, noted OrangeTee & Tie senior vice-president of research and analytics Christine Sun.

“This indicates that buying sentiment has generally improved across the different housing segments and may pick up further in the coming months,” she said.

“Growing macroeconomic uncertainty may also spur more investors to park their money in safe-haven assets like properties,” she added.

PropNex Realty head of research and content Wong Siew Ying said some of the firm’s real estate agents noted that the supply of resale condominium stock has been tight as some owners choose to hold on to their properties.

“With the hefty additional buyer’s stamp duty, some owners who have purchased multiple residential properties prior to the cooling measures may be unwilling to sell now,” she said, adding that the strong home rental market could also be a reason.

Given the tight supply and demand from Housing Board upgraders, property analysts expect condominium resale prices to remain firm this year. Mr Yip said the resale market in June may be quiet as it coincides with the school holidays and there are no planned new project launches.

“Nevertheless, the return of foreigners to the property market will support further growth in prices for the rest of 2022,” he added. In May, condominiums in the suburbs accounted for 60.2 per cent of the total sales volume. Homes in the city fringes accounted for 24.7 per cent, while the remaining 15.1 per cent were in core central Singapore.

The highest transacted price for a resale condo in May was $20 million for a unit at The Nassim, a freehold development in the Tanglin area. In the city fringes, the highest transacted price was $4.85 million for a 99-year leasehold unit at Silversea in Marine Parade. In the suburban areas, a freehold unit at Clementi Park in the Sunset Way area sold for $6.5 million.

Things to know before upgrading to a private property?

Kumar Properties

Things to know before upgrading to Private Property

Upgrading from HDB to a private condo is followed by many people. Numerous Singaporean families turned their dream into a reality of buying and staying in condo. Several households currently wanted to live in private condos rather than in HDB for exclusive facilities and different lifestyles.

Due to the growth of the HDB resale prices in the past few years, many of the house owners have decided to upgrade their property. In the second half of the 2019 HDB resale price values started to recover after booking six consecutive years of decline. In 2021, there is a sudden increase of HDB resale prices by 12.7%, following a 5% increase in 2020. Because of this reason many owners are selling their HDB flat and investing private property.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.8″ text_font=”Poppins||||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”18px” header_2_font=”Poppins||||||||”]

Things to consider for upgrading property

Are you completed your 5 years minimum occupation period (MOP) for HDB?

Do You want to upgrade your HDB flat to private condo?

There are several things to consider to upgrade property in Singapore. Read this articles to know more.[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.8″ text_font=”Poppins||||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”18px” header_2_font=”Poppins||||||||”]

1. Find objective for upgrading to private condo

First of make clear idea about why do you want to upgrade from HDB to a private condo. Private property provides you privacy in gated condo system and also use of different condo facilities like a swimming pool, yoga pavilion, herb garden, clubhouse, gym, tennis court and other facilities. These facilities are one of the reasons to upgrade property from HDB to condo property, which are highly attractive. One reason is facilities another reason will be the rise of private property prices in future. Here is the URA Private property prices index (PPI) and HDB Resale prices index (HRPI). By observing this chart, know that private property price growth rate is more than the HDB resale prices (See Chart 1).

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_code _builder_version=”4.4.8″ text_orientation=”center”][/et_pb_code][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.8″ text_font=”Poppins||||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”18px” header_2_font=”Poppins||||||||”]2. Financial analysis and monthly payment

Upgraders are mostly concentrating on mass-market private homes in the outside central region (OCR) or Executive condos (EC’s). Executive condos are a type of public and private housing hybrid. Now a day’s residential property prices have continuously increased and reached a peak point.

Based on URA Realis caveat data, the average price in 2021 for new launches, resales and new EC projects were $1.74M, $1.25M and $1.37M, respectively (see Table 1).

If the upgrader has sold the flat and has no other financial commitments, buyers will have to pay a monthly loan repayment between $3,900 and $5,500 at these prices. Using a 75% loan to value loan at a rate of 2% and a 25-year loan, Table 2 illustrates the buyer’s financial outlay.

Prior to making such a big purchase as a new home, prospective buyers should consult with an experienced realtor or financial advisor.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_code _builder_version=”4.4.8″ text_orientation=”center”][/et_pb_code][et_pb_code _builder_version=”4.4.8″ text_orientation=”center”][/et_pb_code][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.8″ text_font=”Poppins||||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”18px” header_2_font=”Poppins||||||||”]3. Maintenance/ conservancy fees

It is also important to consider how much maintenance or service and conservation charges are payable each month if you are living in a private condo rather than a HDB flat. A four-room HDB flat’s S&CC is usually about $64 and a five-room flat’s about $80. A condo maintenance fee, on the other hand, can easily go over a hundred dollars, and it depends on the size and value of the unit. In addition, private condo owners may not enjoy certain incentives offered by the government, such as S&CC rebates for example.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.8″ text_font=”Poppins||||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”18px” header_2_font=”Poppins||||||||”]4. Chance to buy property

When the couple sells their apartment (which was joint bought) and buys a new house, they will be able to “decouple” – they will purchase the new house under one name. As this would be the individual’s first home purchase, he will be able to purchase a residential property in the future without paying additional buyer’s stamp duty.

There is no way to perfectly time the market, but would-be buyers could take some advice from price movements in private and HDB resale properties. If private home prices are likely to plateau or grow much more slowly, owners would be interested in taking advantage of a stronger HDB resale price growth.

In 2022, PropNex estimates HDB resale prices will increase by 6% to 8% at a faster rate than private residential properties. In contrast to the 10.6% increase in private home prices in 2021, prices are expected to rise at a slower pace this year thanks to new cooling measures implemented in December 2021.

It is likely that inflationary pressures will drive prices up this year as construction costs and manpower costs rise, but strong demand in 2021 drove prices up. Additionally, with interest rates expected to rise through 2022, some buyers may want to secure a better mortgage rate now rather than later.

Buying property is the biggest dream for many people. In 2019 there are some articles mentioned there is no data about it but there are some signs that a number of wealthy families are buying private property under their children’s names.

Let’s know more.[/et_pb_text][et_pb_code _builder_version=”4.4.8″ text_orientation=”center”][/et_pb_code][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.8″ header_text_color=”#000000″ header_2_text_color=”#000000″]

1. In the Future Good Investment For Your Child

Indeed some parents are anxious about the rise in private property prices in the future, if they purchase now in their child’s name they will make a profit. These are the reasons which made buying a property now, but in their children’s names, a decision popular among some parents who are cash-rich and able to afford the mortgage payments.

If a person is good at financial situations such as who can take a mortgage loan and without a break pay installments and if you are sure that your property value will increase in future. Then this is the right decision to purchase for your child. Otherwise, you need to face the hurdle of confirming whether your home loan is approved or not approved in such situations as purchasing property under a child’s name.

If you need any kind of guidance, feel free to contact Kumar Properties for recommendations and advice. [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.8″ text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”18px”]

2. At An Early Age, Better Chance To Earn Income For Yor Child

To purchase private property under their child’s name, some parents will use a trusted system and rent that property. Later they put rent money towards the savings account for their child’s future. Alike investments or stocks, Your child’s financial future is reliably the safest space in Singapore’s property market. Genuinely property is a gift for the future, it is the benefit for your child to buy a Singapore property now because of the rise in future prices.

Another important note is that if your buy property by using a trust system for your child, you will not be allowed to take a home loan to finance it. If you want to take a home loan you need to wait until your child is at least 21. [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.8″ text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”18px”]

3. Get Better Fund on the Next Home Loan

This is the best strategy for the people who already own one property and they want to afford a second property. Then the loan to value (LTV) ratio for a second property loan will be 45%. If you want to get more funds for the property’s cost as well as higher LTV, you need to opt for this approach, since it is taken into consideration as the first property for your child and eligible for the full LTV.

However, when your child matures only the full payment for your second property will be paid. During this period they look to move out from their current family, so they are financially free to make their own property and apply for their own lines of credit.[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.8″ header_text_color=”#000000″ header_2_text_color=”#000000″]

What are the drawbacks of buying property under a child’s name?

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.8″ text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”18px”]There are many advantages to buying property in Singapore under your child’s name. But, there are also some disadvantages that might affect your child’s future if you decide to buy a second property.

1. New ABSD (Trust) of 35%

On May 9th, the Ministry of Finance (MOF) announced an ABSD of 35% will be imposed on any transfers of residential properties into a living trust. For instance, if you buy a property for $2 million in trust for your child, you need to pay $700,000 in ABSD.

A new ABSD is imposed by the MOF in order to ensure equality among people. ABSD will be due regardless of whether the beneficial owner of the property is unknown at the time of the transfer. Many parents wish to leave a legacy for their children, but others feel that doing so risks worsening inequality.

Related Article: There is an article about Things to know about the new ABSD (Trust): 35% rate and conditions for the remission.[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.8″ text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”18px”]

2. High Investment Risk May Affect a Child’s Future Credit Score.

You could adversely affect your child’s credit if you cannot afford to pay the mortgage installments on time and end up in arrears. If your child has a history of late payments and other mistakes, they may be unable to get loans for important things like education or cars in the future as a result of involvement in a mortgage. Your child is likely to end up with a money pit, and if they wish to buy public housing (e.g. an HDB flat) in the future, this ability may be impeded if they cannot sell the “investment property”.

Assuming you are still paying off the mortgage for the private property and your child wishes to settle down but is having difficulty letting go of the property, this may leave you in a difficult situation. You will still cause your child delays and inconvenience if you do sell the property easily, as HDB rules state that your child must wait 30 months before he/she can purchase a BTO from you after selling the property.[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.8″ text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”18px”]

3. Disagreements regarding family property can result in legal disputes

The child becomes a legitimate owner of a property when it is placed under his or her name. Some parents fail to recognize this fact. Upon reaching that age, your child has the legal right to sell, rent, or take possession of your property. It is imperative that you take precautions when dealing with your child. Your child will be the one who determines what happens to the property.

It has been noted that legal disputes have arisen within families when parents and children cannot reach an agreement on what to do with the property in question, and many families have been strained or even broken by these disagreements.[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.8″ text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”18px”]

4. Subsidies or vouchers will not be available to your child

Almost every child who owns at least one private property will not qualify for government subsidies, bonuses, or welfare cuts. In other words, GST vouchers and so on will no longer be considered part of the child’s assets.

Some parents neglect this when they buy their child a second home. If the above is not possible, you might want to reconsider putting the second home under your child’s name.[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.8″ text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”18px”] Do not wait anymore.

Buying property instinctly, is seldom a good idea. And for a major expense like a property, entering the market without doing in-depth research and analysis is extremely not sensible. May seems to have a good investment opportunity, but it is not good to advise to go in blind, to speak. In fact, if it seems to be good is true, it warrants for a closer look.

So, What we do? Before commencing on house hunting, consider it, why should I buy this property? It is simple to hear, but it is good to have a clear-mind about why you enter into the property market. For instance, are you planning to move yourself, is your intention to rent it out, do you want own an existing property. What do you want to do with it? If your intension is to hold on your existing property, you have to pay the additional buyer’s stamp duty (ABSD) for your second property purchase.

Be practical, be wise

Next step, is to decide what is your budget – what you can afford to buy property and what would do if it extends the limit? Proper financial planning and develop a financial safety net is absolutely not possible because properties cannot be sold quickly and make cash when you are in a blind. If you fall on hard times and want to sell or rent your unit, then certainly your are not sure to fetch an attractive price/rent.

Be wise, If you think you can afford with a comfortable amount of $1.2 million condo, and don’t want to max out that the budget, because we have consider the other expenses, which includes the ABSD for the second property buy, legal fees etc.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.8″ text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”18px”]

Key concepts when estimating property buying opportunities

So, you have decided with your property investment objective, estimated your financial position, and considered the possibility of using leverage, next what? Coming to research and analysis.

There are three important criteria in estimating property investment opportunities. It is important that each of the three factors are considered how they could impact the property’s rent ability and capital growth potential in the future.

1.Location

In real estate, location is very important. Location influences the worth to buy property, and the worth helps to boost demand of the property. Higher the demand, higher the price.

The main factors to consider when it comes to location:

Central or outskirts: Is the property available in the city, at a city fringe or in the suburbs.
Transportation and accessibility: How far is the distance from property to an MRT station also consider the bus interchange and bus stop? And the ease of access to main roads and the expressway.
Neighbourhood: The facilities and amenities available around the property? Like shops, food places, supermarkets and recreation facilities such as parks or sports hall.
Schools: The schools available in the nearby area. ( When there are more applicants than vacancies, the admission priority will be given based on child’s citizenship and the home-to-school distance)
Lot/Unit Location: Is the unit available in the high floor. Does the unit face main road, pool or a park.
Mature or non-mature estate: Is there any other development sites, which means more supply of units and potential competition for buyers and tenants when you are planning to sell or lease your units in the future.

2.Entry Price

Here we consider whether you buy a property at a market price, below market value or you are overpaying compared to the nearby surrounding properties? If you overpaid for a property your capital gain in the future may be low or even nil – unless the property market significantly for over a period of time.

So assess your entry price with the recently transacted prices of comparable properties in the nearby areas, as well as recent transactions in the same development unit. Make an assessment that prices or rents of properties are climbing over the last few years and whether the prices have gone upto the mark since the project was launched.

Then looking at a new launch project, consider the stage of the launch. Developer offers starbuys in the initial stage of launch to get sales momentum going. If you want to buy at a later stage where the developer has already sold more than 70% of the units in the development, then you have to end up paying slightly more.

3.Urban transformation

The Urban Redevelopment Authority’s Master Plan, which is a permitted land use plan that conveys Singapore’s development over the next 10 to 15 years. It shows the development densities, permissible land use, and urban transformation plans in Singapore.

Before shortlisting the potential properties to invest in, make sure to consult the master plan on what are the development plans for the area. These all will likely have a positive impact on capital values for the long-term.

The property investment may carry some form of risks, but considering the necessary site and price estimation and proper financial planning, you are likely to get a smooth investment experience.

Things to know about the new ABSD (Trust): 35% rate and conditions for remission

Previously, when a residential property is transferred into a living trust, Buyer’s Stamp Duty(BSD) is payable. Depending on the profile of beneficial owner, ABSD is also applicable. When there is no identical owner at the time of transferring the residential property, ABSD may not apply.

Now, with the latest change, a trustee have to pay ABSD even if there is no identical owner at the time of transferring the residential property.

According to the press release, “ABSD aims to promote a stable and sustainable property market, and as such, it should apply to transfers of residential properties into all living trusts, irrespective of whether there are identifiable beneficial owners of the residential properties transferred into such trusts.”

The ABSD (Trust) is to be paid upfront while transferring a residential property into any living trust.[/et_pb_text][et_pb_code _builder_version=”4.4.8″][/et_pb_code][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.8″ text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”18px”]

Refunding of ABSD (Trust):

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.8″ text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”18px”]A beneficiary may apply to IRAS for a refund of ABSD (Trust), if the following conditions are met:

All beneficial owners are identifiable individuals of a residential.
Now, the beneficial owner must own a property and not in the future.
The beneficial ownership of the residential property has been vested in all of them and cannot be revoked, varied or subject to subsequent conditions.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.8″ text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”18px”]According to Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore, the ABSD treatment for the residential properties must be equalised, irrespective of whether a beneficiary is involved or not.

The refund application must be sent within 6 months after the instrument is executed. This refund amount will be based on the difference between the ABSD(Trust) rate of 35% and the corresponding profile of the beneficial owner with the highest applicable ABSD rate.

The refund will not be applicable if the property is held in trust for a child who gains authority when they turn 21.[/et_pb_text][et_pb_blurb image=”https://kumarproperties.sg/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Kid-getting-house-keys-900×386-1.webp” alt=”Singapore Property inheritance” _builder_version=”4.4.8″ body_text_color=”#000000″]Under the new ABSD (Trust), the trustee will have to pay 35% when buying a residential property and hold it as a trust for a minor. [/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.8″ text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”18px”]To be eligible for the remission, the trustee can apply via the IRAS e-Stamping portal within six months from the date of the execution of the instrument.

The supporting documents for the refund:

The Option to Purchase or sale and Purchase Agreement copy.
Trust instrument copy.

Budget 2022 – Tax rates for Residential Properties will be raised, this was announced by Singapore Government Finance Minister Lawrence Wong on 18 Feb 2022. They want to increment in two steps, starting with the Tax payable in 2023, with Singapore real estate properties at the higher end seeing steeper hikes.

The property tax rates for owner- occupied Singapore properties for the segment of yearly value more than $30,000 will be raised from 4% to 16% presently, 6% to 32%. And tax rates for non-owner-occupied residential Singapore properties, will increase from 10% to 20% currently, to 12% to 36%.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.8″ text_text_color=”#000000″]

Impact on Owner-Occupied Properties

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.8″ text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”18px”]For owner-occupied properties, property tax raise will impacts the portion of annual values in excess of $30,000. This will only affect the top 7% of all owner-occupied residential properties in Singapore, acc to the Ministry of Finance (MOF). Therefore, many Singapore real estate property holders that are living in HDB flats or private homes in the suburban areas – whose yearly value of residence is $30,000 or below – will not be affected by the change.[/et_pb_text][et_pb_code _builder_version=”4.4.8″ text_orientation=”center”][/et_pb_code][et_pb_code _builder_version=”4.4.8″][/et_pb_code][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.8″ text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”18px”]

For example, there is a 4 bedroom HDB flat in city fringe with an annual value (AV) of $11,040 will continue to pay $121.60 in Singapore property tax – even with the tax payable under existing tax treatment. Further example about an owner- occupied condo in central location with an annual value of $40,000 will be a final tax raise of $200 in 2024 as the real estate property tax payable increase from the current $1,280 to 1,480. ( See Illustration B)

Eventually, a property owner who is living in a large sized landed Singapore property will have to fork out more on property tax after the revision, with tax payable increasing from the current $2,780 to $3,930 in 2023 and to $5,080 in 2024 (See Illustration C).

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_code _builder_version=”4.4.8″ text_orientation=”center”][/et_pb_code][et_pb_code _builder_version=”4.4.8″ text_orientation=”center”][/et_pb_code][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.8″ text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”18px”]

Most of the householders need to manage the raise in Singapore property tax on owner-occupied homes. However, a certain people find difficult to bear property tax hike like retire people who are living in a extra size landed property and don’t have a lot of savings amount.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.8″ text_text_color=”#000000″]

Impact on Non-Owner-Occupied Properties

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.8″ text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”18px”]Let’s see how real estate property tax increment impact for non-owner-occupied properties. From 2023, the revised rates will kick in over two phases.[/et_pb_text][et_pb_code _builder_version=”4.4.8″ text_orientation=”center”][/et_pb_code][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.8″ text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”18px”]For Example, Annual value of a non-owner-occupied HDB flat is $10,000 and for this property tax payable by $100 to $1,100 in 2023 and it rise to $1,200 in 2024 (See Illustration D).

Meanwhile there is a non-occupied condo in the suburbs with an annual value of $30,000 will be a raise of $600 in Singapore property tax payable to $3,600 from 2024 (See Illustration E).[/et_pb_text][et_pb_code _builder_version=”4.4.8″ text_orientation=”center”][/et_pb_code][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.8″ text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”18px”]

We believe mostly the future Singapore property tax rates are not seriously decrease buying interest nor affect the residential market significantly. Most of the Singapore real estate property investors investing Singapore properties take a longer-term view on property purchases, focusing on the long-term returns, capital growth potential and to preserve their wealth – rather than looking at the holding cost in the form of property tax.

Any Singapore property tax or cooling measures arrive, they won’t affect buyer’s interest or won’t stop people to invest in properties. Additionally, Singapore remains attractive investment destination for most of the people, with currency and political environment.
