<p><font face="Arial" color="black" size="2">Official figures show that around 30,000 homes will be completed in the next two years, but Citi reckons only around 60% will be ready. <font color="#ff0000"><u>This could mean that downward pressure on prices will not be as great as expected. </u></font>It estimated that there will be 8,200 units completed next year and 10,200 in 2010, assuming no further collective sales are done. These numbers are below market expectations of 12,500 units next year and 17,500 units in 2010. Knight Frank said the direct impact of supply on prices is limited because most of these homes would already have been sold. <font color="#ff0000"><u>Savills Singapore also believes the supply figures released by the URA are too high as completion delays in collective sales and delayed launches have not been factored in.</u></font> Prices of mid- to high-end properties will fall <font color="#ff0000"><u>but not to the extent of the 30-40% drop predicted by some analysts. </u></font>Citi also said a long downturn is unlikely because resale volumes are still at above average levels, reflecting strong genuine demand. There is no sign of overbuilding or a housing shortage. Mass market homes remain highly affordable and are supported by high rental yields of more than 5%. </font></p>

<p>今天ST的这篇报道为很多人不愿现在买房的借口画了一个大大的问号!</p>
<p>大家都认为年底或明年房价会掉的原因就是供过于求。我想,房价的起伏其实并不想大家想想得那么剧烈,不管是组屋,还是私人房产。 </p>
