*Advise from an astute and acclaimed Financial Advisor in the Money Markets that is worth reading and paying attention as many global experts are advocating similar sentiments - Hard times ahead preserve CASH*
There will be global recession and everything will deflate.
Financial markets and real estate have past peaks in most countries. We are in for a major correction lasting a couple of years. Time to give back the gains made by some. Keep your cash.🙂🌻
The property market cannot defy gravity. Assets will deflate everywhere in near future. Why pay more now and suffer a decline in value just for the "long term"?
Hot money coming into Singapore is just part of the buying frenzy. It will evaporate/reverse-out once it is clear the trend has reversed.
During the Asian Financial Crisis, prices of many properties here halved between the 1996 peak and 1998 low.
So it's not true that Singapore property market is unique. It's a small boat in a global ocean; we get whacked in any storm out there.
I go with common sense and watch human physiology driven by herd instinct.
Most people in Singapore have made money from property. That's because of steady economic growth over 60 years ( 1962 to 2022).
Few wealthy people here have made money from real business or investment. Most are OK financially because of property (HDB/private) held for many years
We are a stable place (currency/security) in a region with weak currencies due to inflation and government overspending.
But in a correction, we will also get hit.
Some say "Buy for the long term" But we are all dead in long term. So why not wait to buy in bad times which are coming?
Most economies are now near the end of a very long bullish cycle. We are in for geopolitical tensions, maybe wars, high inflation and food shortages. It's going to be a major global downturn during which we can just hope to hold on and survive.
Good luck; stay cool🌻🙏🙂👍
