Said many times before new launch prices are too high, no reason for new launch prices to keep rising when resale market is so dead. These buyers are going to suffer buyers' remorse very soon when developers are forced to drop prices for these overpriced new launches.

Some really lousy location new launch surely have to give big discount to move units. The normanton park sure lose money big time.

This depends on the selling price, they are near to Kent Ridge Area and likely to ride the GSW hype though I agree the location ain’t fantastic.

The noises are certainly getting louder.

IMO, keep your money for now, stay liquid, and see what develops in the pty front.

All developers need to do is to stroke the fomo effect more.

1. Raise price
2. Say because land price bought high, so no choice.
3. Publish research say ppty prices will still go up.
4. Send research to all agents. Do it frequently enough (ie weekly) and they will buy the argument.
5. Raise price, then say "see lah, ah gong wrong. Price go up liao. Quick buy!"
6. Rinse and repeat process.

Really cannot understand why people happily pay for the mistake of developers who were being greedy and bidding sky high prices in GLS... Then agents will come tell us "no way developers will lower price coz not earning much".. in the first place, that's their problem leh..

It's all about expectation and prices comparisons.

If got $$, can keep buying properties. See those ppl bought 20 yrs ago all earn big time. At that time those who say wah expensive, buy for what, now all chui tad lan. Some even say “i should have bought that time” etc.
All boils down to affordability...
If cannot afford, cannot tahan 20-30yrs, then dun buy and dun make noise...
If can afford, but die die dun buy, then is call kum lan...
If can afford, choose wisely and buy, is clever

Its a fact that Developers are out to earn $ from building. If they drop price and sell at losses, then u should be the one worrying. If they raise prices and sell, they not worried abt not selling all the units and pay for absd and QC etc. they have the $$ to pay, and keeps building and keeps selling...
Pricing strategies... overall they know how to cut losses and get profits at different times...
So what if u buy’high liao, then they drop prices...its only a matter of time u be earning fm your property... unless cannot tahan. Invest in properties are not speculating. It takes time...

Chanced upon another piece of more detailed analysis

https://www.99.co/blog/singapore/why-the-current-housing-glut-may-not-lower-property-prices/

"But there are a number of good reasons why – even in the face of a supply overhang – prices are more likely to stay as they are:

-Higher bids and development charges in 2017
-ABSD and QC deadlines don’t always mean desperate developers
-A greater draw for some foreign investors, given economic uncertainty
-There are a lot of potential upgraders in the next two years"

I think this is quite compelling - "Some 50,000 HDB flats will be reaching their Minimum Occupancy Period (MOP) within the next two years. This is a huge number; consider that on most years – such as 2013 to 204 – the number is in the range of about 9,000."

Singaporeans generally not very savvy property buyers. Buying a China developer project is one of the worst decision and yet most do not bother to check on the developer.

Normanton Park location is fine but the bigger issue is the China developer who have a poor track record.
