As the global interest rate is higher, the real estate markets of various countries have reappeared to varying degrees. Only the Singapore market is different and still prosper.In order to cool down the overheated real estate market, the government launched rounds of cooling measures after the government. The additional buyers' stamp duty (ABSD) rose waves after another, but the real estate market still had a high fever and difficult to retreat.Yang Tang is boiling, it is better to draw salary at the bottom of the kettle. Maybe we can think from another angle.Here are three suggestions that are different from the mainstream viewpoints and attract jade for discussion.
First, build more larger houses.With the rise of house prices, in order to keep the total price of the house at the level that people afford it, whether it is a house or a private house, the house area is smaller and smaller.The bedroom is only enough to put down a bed. The living room can put down a sofa and a dining table. The space that turns more is wasted.Such a home is no longer comfortable and warm, relaxing the body and mind, but more like a hotel used to sleep.Living such a small space for a long time is inevitably depressed and mentally nervous.
Society is progressing, the economy is developing, but people's living space is getting smaller and smaller, and the quality of life is getting lower and lower. What is the significance of such development?So we should build more and larger houses instead of more private homes.80%of the Singaporeans live in group houses. There is no need for Chinese people to think that it is the winner of life only from a house to a private house.Relying on reasonable and high -quality design buildings, spacious and comfortable living environment, and rich and convenient public facilities, group houses can become more suitable for living than private houses, and become the foundation of every Singaporean.
As a characteristic of Singapore, the HDB has made a significant contribution to Singapore's "residential house". Now it can still be used as a Dinghai God needle to lead Singapore's real estate development.
Second, the investment function of open group houses.The initial function of the HDB house is to meet the demand for Chinese people. However, with the development of the economy and the improvement of people's living standards, the investment function of houses is becoming increasingly important, and people's investment demand cannot be ignored.Everyone watched house prices and rents that year by year, and listening to the news of other people's investment in real estate earnings, it is inevitable that they will be excited.If you cannot realize two houses, a set of self -living, and one set of rents, you can only sell a group, buy an apartment, and put it into the real estate team.The stronger the wind, the faster the commercial house changes, and the market naturally becomes hot.Various houses, including houses, have risen in such a hot market.
In this case, it is better to open up the investment function of the HDB. For example, the first house of ABSD can be calculated from the private house, excluded the group house, so that each Singapore family may have two houses.Perhaps letting go like this can calm people's burnt hearts and willing to accumulate wealth slowly.When a certain time, consider that the HDB self -living and buy a small apartment investment; or change to a large apartment to live in and rent a house for rent.Regardless of self -occupation or rental, the housing house should become a long -term asset held by Chinese people, sharing the dividend of economic development, rather than becoming a link for capital hype, bringing hidden dangers to the stability of Singapore's real estate.
Moreover, Singapore also needs to support the full development of the rental market.Singapore's national conditions are doomed to expand too much about the population of the citizen, and a large number of temporary residences must be introduced. These people are not all high -paying people who can rent private homes.If the group can only be used for self -living, where does the low rental house come from?If only a few rich people can buy the second house for rent, the foreign population can only rent in a high -priced private house. How can Singapore control the labor costs?What impact would foreign employees leave Singapore due to high living costs?
Third, restrict foreigners buying Volkswagen's private houses.House prices in Singapore have soared, and the promotion of foreign buyers is also an important factor.Although as a global country, Singapore must be open to foreign investment.But land is limited and cannot accommodate real estate investors around the world.If these foreign buyers invest in luxury homes, there are many buyers of public houses.And the higher the ABSD. With the same budget, more buyers will choose cheaper public houses.If this part of the buyer is not limited, the local public private house will help the rich people around the world. I am afraid that one day it will rise to the degree of the Chinese people who can't afford it, and it will also drive the market market.
Although the government has been using ABSD to control the market, it may not be enough.High ABSD can bring a large number of short -term returns to the government, but maybe long -term is not good for Singapore.Singapore should not be the second Hong Kong or a paradise for the rich.
Of course, it is good to attract foreign investment, but if foreign capital just comes to Singapore to buy suite and enjoy the dividend of social stability and economic growth.Those with constant production have perseverance. Such a constant production is better on the Singaporeans.
