Look at how much completed private homes will balloon by 2014

Homes in OCR will totally outstrip other regions.

According to Nomura, sooner or later, the fundamentals of increasing supply, a sluggish economy and prices at an all-time high will inevitably put pressure on prices, with a concomitant impact on sentiment. But private residential properties completion will continue to thrive.

Here's more from Nomura:

On 5 October, the MAS announced the latest round of cooling measures for the housing market, imposing a cap on mortgage loan tenures at 35 years as well as a lower LTV for mortgage tenures exceeding 30 years or extending beyond the age of 65 years.

Nomura property analyst Sai Min Chow has noted that the measures are imposed on first-time home-buyers for the first time and he detects a slightly more hawkish tone from the MAS statement: “we will do what it takes to cool the market”.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
