Interest rate is set to rise..???. Just to make aware to home buyers.

With low interest rate n record high home loan over the past several years and more higher gearing ratio to debt. Singapore had started to set loan at 60%. Many new home buyers and investors will seen dumping their properties because they can no longer can stay affordable to finance their properties, when interest rate goes up.

As many would be buyers is, eg - Iskandar is another hot elephant, will it turn white..???., (will buyers take those bite to purchase with a 50% increases spike??.) Good luck to those invested!.

M'sia has no way to revalue its currency upwards as seen most recently as compare to Singapore dollar exchange rate.

Govt to make HDB flats more affordable (breaking news)

Every Singaporean family who is working will be able to afford their own home, assured Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong at his annual National Day Rally speech on Sunday.

He said that households earning just $1,000 a month today will be able to afford a two-room flat, those earning $2,000 can get a three-room unit, while those earning $4,000 will be able to pay for a four-room home.

These families can rely mostly on their CPF savings to pay off their loans, and be able to do so within 25 years instead of 30.
