The Government is committed to maintaining a stable and sustainable property market
Speaking at the BCA-REDAS Built Environment and Property Prospects Seminar National Development Minister Desmond Lee said that his Ministry is committed to maintaining a stable and sustainable property market. Mr Lee said that a sustainable property market is important because it has a direct impact on Singaporeans as most of us own homes.
For the private housing market, the Government has put in place several measures over the years to try to ensure that prices move in line with economic fundamentals. This is to ensure that there is a sustainable property market which remains resilient to economic downturns, property bubbles and external shocks like a pandemic.
Mr Lee said that even in the midst of the pandemic and economic challenges, the property market has stayed generally resilient and we are starting to see some signs of renewed positive sentiments in the property market. But he noted that the pace of increase in private housing prices has gathered momentum since the second quarter of last year. Developers’ sales at recent project launches have been robust. With developers’ inventory of unsold units progressively coming down, there has been healthy bidding interest in recent Government Land Sales tenders.
He cautioned, “But we must remain vigilant. The property market is not insulated from ongoing uncertainties in the global economic outlook, nor setbacks to the recovery in the domestic labour market. Developers should continue to remain prudent in their land bidding and work with agents to market their projects responsibly to allow buyers to make considered decisions that take into account their needs and affordability.”
“Households in turn need to exercise caution in their property purchase decisions. Given the uncertain economic outlook and possible rises in interest rates, buyers should be mindful of their ability to service their mortgage obligations before making long-term financial commitments.”
The Government Mr Lee said “is monitoring the developments in the property market very closely” and will adjust its policies if necessary, to maintain a stable and sustainable property market for all Singaporeans.

The Ministers comments on the importance of ensuring a sustainable property market comes as the pace of increase in private housing prices has gathered momentum since the second quarter of 2020, with developers’ sales at recent project launches being robust.
