If this project is sold at fixed 1.8 to 1.9kpsf and 100% sold, it is going to send a strong signal that the market is super hot. And next you will see more En bloc coming. And prepare for cooling measures..
i dont think u see more enbloc because that will trigger more flow back to real esate, more on aggressive bidding for GLS sites. next to watch is the jalan anak bukit new launch also mixed integrated development
if look at macro econ stats household income has been increasing last 10 years while ppty prices have underperformed HH income growth due to CM in 2013 and 2018, so overall affordability have improved in fact. Increase in money supply and low IR didnt help too.
Problem is we are at nascent stage of economic recovery, think we still have 3-5 years more to run, and investors all chasing for yield. A rental yield of 2%+ vs bank deposit of 0.5% is quite good if one has lots of cash around. CM i think lesser chance for these few months, because MAS already came out and say market is not overheated on june 30th.
this 1.5y of lockdown didnt help too, people have alot savings from holidays, car expenses (drive less and CBD parking), dining out, office lunches, plus stock market returns since june 2020 has been phenomenal, so really alot alot of cash..
