Podcast

In this episode of Nuggets On The Go, Melvin Lim from PropertyLimBrothers talks about the release of our Q2 report on our PLB insights page, highlighting its most important portions and interesting segments market trends and charts. For example, we look at the movement and correlation between the Singapore Property Price Indexes of landed, condo and HDBs with regards to being the most common asset classes of commodity.He will also touch on alternative investments such as cryptocurrency and how investors have pumped their profits into real estate. However, did the recent crypto dip affect the property market? Additionally, should interest rates be considered as the main factor that affects prices.

And we hope to share our charts progressively with you.

30 – Melvin Lim
00:01:20,120 –> 00:01:21,120
And for today’s episode,

31 – Melvin Lim
00:01:21,120 –> 00:01:21,920
we want to go through

32 – Melvin Lim
00:01:21,920 –> 00:01:24,360
and highlight some of the very interesting segments

33 – Melvin Lim
00:01:24,360 –> 00:01:27,440
of the Q2 real estate market trends report.

34 – Melvin Lim
00:01:27,440 –> 00:01:30,240
We have also released some of the latest charts

35 – Melvin Lim
00:01:30,240 –> 00:01:32,600
on our propertylimbrothers.com website.

36 – Melvin Lim
00:01:32,600 –> 00:01:34,120
Head on to the website,

37 – Melvin Lim
00:01:34,120 –> 00:01:35,600
look for the tools segment,

38 – Melvin Lim
00:01:35,600 –> 00:01:37,920
you will be able to see this sub-menu called

39 – Melvin Lim
00:01:37,920 –> 00:01:39,120
real estate charts.

40 – Melvin Lim
00:01:39,120 –> 00:01:41,200
And from there, we’ll continue to upload some

41 – Melvin Lim
00:01:41,200 –> 00:01:42,120
of the very interesting charts.

42 – Melvin Lim
00:01:42,120 –> 00:01:43,320
So just to give you a quick glimpse

43 – Melvin Lim
00:01:43,320 –> 00:01:44,800
of what it will look like.

44 – Melvin Lim
00:01:44,800 –> 00:01:47,360
So firstly, our Analytics team and Research team

45 – Melvin Lim
00:01:47,360 –> 00:01:49,440
have created some very interesting charts

46 – Melvin Lim
00:01:49,440 –> 00:01:50,520
that look like this.

47 – Melvin Lim
00:01:50,520 –> 00:01:53,400
So what we are aspiring to do with this chart is to look

48 – Melvin Lim
00:01:53,400 –> 00:01:55,760
at some of the movements and correlations.

49 – Melvin Lim
00:01:55,760 –> 00:01:57,840
And if there were to be any correlation

50 – Melvin Lim
00:01:57,840 –> 00:01:59,760
between (the) Singapore Property Price Index

51 – Melvin Lim
00:01:59,760 –> 00:02:01,320
of the landed market, the condo market,

52 – Melvin Lim
00:02:01,320 –> 00:02:02,440
as well as the HDB market.

53 – Melvin Lim
00:02:02,440 –> 00:02:04,720
vis-a-vis some of the very common,

54 – Melvin Lim
00:02:04,720 –> 00:02:07,720
and very popular asset classes and commodity classes.

55 – Melvin Lim
00:02:07,720 –> 00:02:09,160
So for example, in this particular chart,

56 – Melvin Lim
00:02:09,160 –> 00:02:11,600
what we did was that we pumped in the Landed Price Index.

57 – Melvin Lim
00:02:11,600 –> 00:02:12,960
We also pump in the Non-Landed Price Index,

58 – Melvin Lim
00:02:12,960 –> 00:02:15,040
which is a combination of condos and apartments,

59 – Melvin Lim
00:02:15,040 –> 00:02:16,760
as well as the HDB price index.

60 – Melvin Lim
00:02:16,760 –> 00:02:17,840
And if you notice,

61 – Melvin Lim
00:02:17,840 –> 00:02:19,920
there are four different kinds of legends right here.

62 – Melvin Lim
00:02:19,920 –> 00:02:22,200
Firstly, we pumped in the STI Index,

63 – Melvin Lim
00:02:22,200 –> 00:02:25,200
Bitcoin, S&P 500, and Ethereum.

64 – Melvin Lim
00:02:25,200 –> 00:02:26,800
Because cryptocurrency has been

65 – Melvin Lim
00:02:26,800 –> 00:02:29,040
one of the very common things that

66 – Melvin Lim
00:02:29,040 –> 00:02:30,040
a lot of people have been talking about

67 – Melvin Lim
00:02:30,040 –> 00:02:30,880
in the last two years.

68 – Melvin Lim
00:02:30,880 –> 00:02:31,720
And we want to see

69 – Melvin Lim
00:02:31,720 –> 00:02:33,200
whether there was any correlation.

70 – Melvin Lim
00:02:33,200 –> 00:02:34,200
Now of course you might be asking me,

71 – Melvin Lim
00:02:34,200 –> 00:02:35,520
“Hey Melvin, why are we comparing

72 – Melvin Lim
00:02:35,520 –> 00:02:37,560
the Singapore real estate price index

73 – Melvin Lim
00:02:37,560 –> 00:02:39,360
vis-a-vis Bitcoin and Etherium?”

74 – Melvin Lim
00:02:39,360 –> 00:02:40,800
Now, one of the key rationales are

75 – Melvin Lim
00:02:40,800 –> 00:02:41,880
because over the past two years,

76 – Melvin Lim
00:02:41,880 –> 00:02:44,040
a lot of people not (only) invested into real estate,

77 – Melvin Lim
00:02:44,040 –> 00:02:47,080
but they have also used some of the gains made

78 – Melvin Lim
00:02:47,080 –> 00:02:49,680
in cryptocurrencies as well as the S&P 500

79 – Melvin Lim
00:02:49,680 –> 00:02:50,840
or tech stocks.

80 – Melvin Lim
00:02:50,840 –> 00:02:52,280
And extracting some of the profit margins

81 – Melvin Lim
00:02:52,280 –> 00:02:53,040
that they have made

82 – Melvin Lim
00:02:53,040 –> 00:02:54,560
and pump it into real estate,

83 – Melvin Lim
00:02:54,560 –> 00:02:55,920
And of course, there was a flush

84 – Melvin Lim
00:02:55,920 –> 00:02:58,800
in terms of the liquidity in* the earlier part of 2022.

85 – Melvin Lim
00:02:58,800 –> 00:03:01,280
This has been one of the things that we want to track

86 – Melvin Lim
00:03:01,280 –> 00:03:02,720
to see whether, is that when

87 – Melvin Lim
00:03:02,720 –> 00:03:05,520
everybody has their liquidity being affected through

88 – Melvin Lim
00:03:05,520 –> 00:03:07,360
those alternative investments,

89 – Melvin Lim
00:03:07,360 –> 00:03:10,040
will this cause a dip in the Singapore real estate market?

90 – Melvin Lim
00:03:10,040 –> 00:03:11,440
And we want to see that correlation right here

91 – Melvin Lim
00:03:11,440 –> 00:03:12,280
within this chart.

92 – Melvin Lim
00:03:12,280 –> 00:03:13,080
And of course the second chart

93 – Melvin Lim
00:03:13,080 –> 00:03:15,680
is that we did a correlation chart to look at

94 – Melvin Lim
00:03:15,680 –> 00:03:18,640
the three different indexes versus interest rates.

95 – Melvin Lim
00:03:18,640 –> 00:03:20,880
And over here we’ve pumped in the SIBOR interest rates.

96 – Melvin Lim
00:03:20,880 –> 00:03:22,560
vis-a-vis the FED interest rates.

97 – Melvin Lim
00:03:22,560 –> 00:03:23,920
And you can see (that) these two interest rates,

98 – Melvin Lim
00:03:23,920 –> 00:03:25,920
they run in tandem to one another,

99 – Melvin Lim
00:03:25,920 –> 00:03:27,800
because Singapore depends a lot

100 – Melvin Lim
00:03:27,800 –> 00:03:29,360
on the federal interest rate to see

101 – Melvin Lim
00:03:29,360 –> 00:03:30,440
whether we need to adjust

102 – Melvin Lim
00:03:30,440 –> 00:03:32,040
the interest rate upwards or downwards.

103 – Melvin Lim
00:03:32,040 –> 00:03:32,880
So we also want to see

104 – Melvin Lim
00:03:32,880 –> 00:03:35,960
whether there’s any impact that will be forecasting

105 – Melvin Lim
00:03:35,960 –> 00:03:39,080
on in the Q3 and Q4 season of 2022.

106 – Melvin Lim
00:03:39,080 –> 00:03:40,200
And how does this impact

107 – Melvin Lim
00:03:40,200 –> 00:03:41,560
the three different price indexes.

108 – Melvin Lim
00:03:41,560 –> 00:03:43,280
Of course something to note is that, real estate

109 – Melvin Lim
00:03:43,280 –> 00:03:44,160
is more illiquid,

110 – Melvin Lim
00:03:44,160 –> 00:03:46,640
and it doesn’t mean that when interest rates rise,

111 – Melvin Lim
00:03:46,640 –> 00:03:47,440
we’ve talked about it

112 – Melvin Lim
00:03:47,440 –> 00:03:49,080
in a lot of different episodes in the past,

113 – Melvin Lim
00:03:49,080 –> 00:03:50,760
you can refer to our (previous) NOTG episodes, that

114 – Melvin Lim
00:03:50,760 –> 00:03:51,800
we want to see

115 – Melvin Lim
00:03:51,800 –> 00:03:55,160
what is also the time lapse difference

116 – Melvin Lim
00:03:55,160 –> 00:03:56,600
whether when interest rate rise,

117 – Melvin Lim
00:03:56,600 –> 00:03:58,640
how long does it take for the property pricing index

118 – Melvin Lim
00:03:58,640 –> 00:04:00,120
to adjust itself.

119 – Melvin Lim
00:04:00,120 –> 00:04:01,520
And of course, does it really cost

120 – Melvin Lim
00:04:01,520 –> 00:04:02,840
an impact this time round?

121 – Melvin Lim
00:04:02,840 –> 00:04:04,240
Because out of the six, seven rounds,

122 – Melvin Lim
00:04:04,240 –> 00:04:06,120
only one round during (the) Asian Financial Crisis,

123 – Melvin Lim
00:04:06,120 –> 00:04:07,600
did we see a downward trend.

124 – Melvin Lim
00:04:07,600 –> 00:04:08,720
The rest of the seasons

125 – Melvin Lim
00:04:08,720 –> 00:04:10,200
(are) basically either price stagnates,

126 – Melvin Lim
00:04:10,200 –> 00:04:12,080
or maybe further increases,

127 – Melvin Lim
00:04:12,080 –> 00:04:13,160
even when interest rates increase.

128 – Melvin Lim
00:04:13,160 –> 00:04:14,120
But of course this time round,

129 – Melvin Lim
00:04:14,120 –> 00:04:17,600
one of the red flags that we notice might happen,

130 – Melvin Lim
00:04:17,600 –> 00:04:19,280
and of course we’re hoping that this might not happen.

131 – Melvin Lim
00:04:19,280 –> 00:04:20,640
But we are thinking,

132 – Melvin Lim
00:04:20,640 –> 00:04:22,920
if let’s say interest rates would to start to challenge

133 – Melvin Lim
00:04:22,920 –> 00:04:24,080
3% to 3.5%.

134 – Melvin Lim
00:04:24,080 –> 00:04:25,600
I mean, right now is already at

135 – Melvin Lim
00:04:25,600 –> 00:04:28,520
2.5% to closing into the high twos,

136 – Melvin Lim
00:04:28,520 –> 00:04:29,720
in terms of fixed interest rate.

137 – Melvin Lim
00:04:29,720 –> 00:04:31,760
Let’s say it’s further adjusted to

138 – Melvin Lim
00:04:31,760 –> 00:04:33,080
let’s say a fixed rate of 3% or

139 – Melvin Lim
00:04:33,080 –> 00:04:34,040
3.5%,

140 – Melvin Lim
00:04:34,040 –> 00:04:35,160
what will be the impact

141 – Melvin Lim
00:04:35,160 –> 00:04:37,480
on our TDSR – Total Debt Servicing Ratio?

142 – Melvin Lim
00:04:37,480 –> 00:04:39,080
Because, just to give a quick recap

143 – Melvin Lim
00:04:39,080 –> 00:04:41,880
when TDSR was introduced in the year 2013 June,

144 – Melvin Lim
00:04:41,880 –> 00:04:46,120
MAS based it on a safe benchmark interest rate of

145 – Melvin Lim
00:04:46,120 –> 00:04:47,240
3.5%,

146 – Melvin Lim
00:04:47,240 –> 00:04:49,920
to calculate what is the affordability level of

147 – Melvin Lim
00:04:49,920 –> 00:04:51,000
the particular borrower.

148 – Melvin Lim
00:04:51,000 –> 00:04:52,880
So, back then everything was good and fine,

149 – Melvin Lim
00:04:52,880 –> 00:04:55,160
because our interest rate was overing between 1% to 2%

150 – Melvin Lim
00:04:55,160 –> 00:04:57,280
all the way since 2013 until today.

151 – Melvin Lim
00:04:57,280 –> 00:05:00,200
However, if right now, if the fixed interest rate for

152 – Melvin Lim
00:05:00,200 –> 00:05:02,160
every mortgage is going to be 3.5%,

153 – Melvin Lim
00:05:02,160 –> 00:05:04,400
or maybe if it’s going to be 4% next year,

154 – Melvin Lim
00:05:04,400 –> 00:05:05,920
of course we hope that that won’t happen,

155 – Melvin Lim
00:05:05,920 –> 00:05:09,440
then will MAS and our government adjust

156 – Melvin Lim
00:05:09,440 –> 00:05:13,760
the base interest rate inside the TDSR calculation method?

157 – Melvin Lim
00:05:13,760 –> 00:05:15,200
Because if they were to do so,

158 – Melvin Lim
00:05:15,200 –> 00:05:16,160
what this will mean is that,

159 – Melvin Lim
00:05:16,160 –> 00:05:18,800
for example, if just 1% upwards from

160 – Melvin Lim
00:05:18,800 –> 00:05:20,360
3.5% to 4.5%,

161 – Melvin Lim
00:05:20,360 –> 00:05:22,800
this will mean that every single borrower in the market

162 – Melvin Lim
00:05:22,800 –> 00:05:25,200
they can technically only borrow lesser.

163 – Melvin Lim
00:05:25,200 –> 00:05:27,560
And if that were to happen, it might mean that

164 – Melvin Lim
00:05:27,560 –> 00:05:29,720
you might want to make a decisive decision of,

165 – Melvin Lim
00:05:29,720 –> 00:05:30,800
should you buy now?

166 – Melvin Lim
00:05:30,800 –> 00:05:33,120
Or should you wait to see what will be the impact

167 – Melvin Lim
00:05:33,120 –> 00:05:35,120
if TDSR really were to be adjusted upward

168 – Melvin Lim
00:05:35,120 –> 00:05:36,680
with their benchmark interest rate.

169 – Melvin Lim
00:05:36,680 –> 00:05:38,920
Because when everybody’s affordability drops,

170 – Melvin Lim
00:05:38,920 –> 00:05:40,880
does it cause a huge impact

171 – Melvin Lim
00:05:40,880 –> 00:05:42,080
in the resale market,

172 – Melvin Lim
00:05:42,080 –> 00:05:43,160
or in the new launch market?

173 – Melvin Lim
00:05:43,160 –> 00:05:44,720
And of course, everything is bearing in mind,

174 – Melvin Lim
00:05:44,720 –> 00:05:45,800
and we hope that you watched the last two episodes

175 – Melvin Lim
00:05:45,800 –> 00:05:47,680
is that that interest rates just form

176 – Melvin Lim
00:05:47,680 –> 00:05:50,240
one out of the 10 to 13 components affecting the

177 – Melvin Lim
00:05:50,240 –> 00:05:51,280
Singapore real estate market.

178 – Melvin Lim
00:05:51,280 –> 00:05:53,360
Because Singapore is really different.

179 – Melvin Lim
00:05:53,360 –> 00:05:55,480
And one of the key rationales is that,

180 – Melvin Lim
00:05:55,480 –> 00:05:57,320
because real estate is illiquid in nature,

181 – Melvin Lim
00:05:57,320 –> 00:05:59,720
families that have bought in this year in 2022,

182 – Melvin Lim
00:05:59,720 –> 00:06:01,280
last year, and the year before,

183 – Melvin Lim
00:06:01,280 –> 00:06:03,640
they’re all being locked in with three years of

184 – Melvin Lim
00:06:03,640 –> 00:06:04,480
Seller’s Stamp Duty,

185 – Melvin Lim
00:06:04,480 –> 00:06:06,480
which means that combining the factor that

186 – Melvin Lim
00:06:06,480 –> 00:06:08,080
a lot of people are buying for own stay,

187 – Melvin Lim
00:06:08,080 –> 00:06:08,920
and combining the fact that

188 – Melvin Lim
00:06:08,920 –> 00:06:11,720
everybody is already priced in for three years.

189 – Melvin Lim
00:06:11,720 –> 00:06:13,520
This, even if there are minute adjustments

190 – Melvin Lim
00:06:13,520 –> 00:06:14,520
in the interest rates during these three years,

191 – Melvin Lim
00:06:14,520 –> 00:06:15,720
a lot of families are

192 – Melvin Lim
00:06:15,720 –> 00:06:17,760
still enjoying their fixed locked-in rates

193 – Melvin Lim
00:06:17,760 –> 00:06:19,240
over the past one to two years.

194 – Melvin Lim
00:06:19,240 –> 00:06:20,600
Then it might not cause an impact to them.

195 – Melvin Lim
00:06:20,600 –> 00:06:21,680
Because by the time,

196 – Melvin Lim
00:06:21,680 –> 00:06:23,160
let’s say after 2023,

197 – Melvin Lim
00:06:23,160 –> 00:06:25,880
if the US economy recovers, the global economies recover,

198 – Melvin Lim
00:06:25,880 –> 00:06:27,000
and let’s say in 2024,

199 – Melvin Lim
00:06:27,000 –> 00:06:29,960
everything is more rosy and more buoyant.

200 – Melvin Lim
00:06:29,960 –> 00:06:32,200
Then, interest rates start to drop for example,

201 – Melvin Lim
00:06:32,200 –> 00:06:34,160
then, (the) property market will then be

202 – Melvin Lim
00:06:34,160 –> 00:06:36,400
on another new run upwards.

203 – Melvin Lim
00:06:36,400 –> 00:06:39,600
So I think importantly is just to take interest rates as

204 – Melvin Lim
00:06:39,600 –> 00:06:40,480
one of the factors and not

205 – Melvin Lim
00:06:40,480 –> 00:06:43,240
the only factor that affects prices.

206 – Melvin Lim
00:06:43,240 –> 00:06:45,440
So next, we also want to look at inflation.

207 – Melvin Lim
00:06:45,440 –> 00:06:48,280
Because inflation vis-a-vis the performance of assets

208 – Melvin Lim
00:06:48,280 –> 00:06:50,080
across different QE (Quantitative Easing) cycles,

209 – Melvin Lim
00:06:50,080 –> 00:06:51,440
is one very interesting thing.

210 – Melvin Lim
00:06:51,440 –> 00:06:53,760
We want to firstly look at when QE happens,

211 – Melvin Lim
00:06:53,760 –> 00:06:55,960
what happens to inflation.

212 – Melvin Lim
00:06:55,960 –> 00:06:57,240
When QE two and three happens,

213 – Melvin Lim
00:06:57,240 –> 00:06:58,720
what happens to inflation as well?

214 – Melvin Lim
00:06:58,720 –> 00:07:01,880
And when tapering happened during the 2014 season,

215 – Melvin Lim
00:07:01,880 –> 00:07:02,960
as well as 2018.

216 – Melvin Lim
00:07:02,960 –> 00:07:06,840
And right now, 2022 is also where (a) QE just started to happen

217 – Melvin Lim
00:07:06,840 –> 00:07:08,960
after the latest round COVID QE.

218 – Melvin Lim
00:07:08,960 –> 00:07:10,280
So there’s been a total of four rounds

219 – Melvin Lim
00:07:10,280 –> 00:07:13,720
of quantitative easing, meaning the government’s printing of money

220 – Melvin Lim
00:07:13,720 –> 00:07:15,000
basically from (our) federal reserve.

221 – Melvin Lim
00:07:15,000 –> 00:07:15,840
And then of course,

222 – Melvin Lim
00:07:15,840 –> 00:07:17,680
this is now the third round of QT (Quantitative Tightening),

223 – Melvin Lim
00:07:17,680 –> 00:07:18,800
but this time round is different,

224 – Melvin Lim
00:07:18,800 –> 00:07:22,200
because it’s QT during a high inflation season.

225 – Melvin Lim
00:07:22,200 –> 00:07:25,680
So there’s the key difference between this round of QT,

226 – Melvin Lim
00:07:25,680 –> 00:07:27,320
which is quantitative tightening,

227 – Melvin Lim
00:07:27,320 –> 00:07:29,600
compared to the last two rounds of tapering.

228 – Melvin Lim
00:07:29,600 –> 00:07:31,040
So this might be something that we want to take note,

229 – Melvin Lim
00:07:31,040 –> 00:07:33,480
because this round inflation is one of the highest rounds,

230 – Melvin Lim
00:07:33,480 –> 00:07:36,480
over the past 12 years, ever since 2008.

231 – Melvin Lim
00:07:36,480 –> 00:07:39,200
And we also want to see whether does this cause an impact

232 – Melvin Lim
00:07:39,200 –> 00:07:40,640
in our Singapore real estate market.

233 – Melvin Lim
00:07:40,640 –> 00:07:42,200
One more chart that we have come across

234 – Melvin Lim
00:07:42,200 –> 00:07:45,560
is basically the asset performance across inflationary cycle

235 – Melvin Lim
00:07:45,560 –> 00:07:47,920
of US inflation rates and SG inflation rates,

236 – Melvin Lim
00:07:47,920 –> 00:07:49,640
vis-a-vis our price indexes.

237 – Melvin Lim
00:07:49,640 –> 00:07:51,040
And of course we have also listed down

238 – Melvin Lim
00:07:51,040 –> 00:07:51,960
all the cooling measures here.

239 – Melvin Lim
00:07:51,960 –> 00:07:53,640
So if you head on to our website,

240 – Melvin Lim
00:07:53,640 –> 00:07:55,560
you’ll be able to have a look and join some of these charts

241 – Melvin Lim
00:07:55,560 –> 00:07:58,520
and we will be updating them every single quarter,

242 – Melvin Lim
00:07:58,520 –> 00:07:59,760
at four times a year.

243 – Melvin Lim
00:07:59,760 –> 00:08:01,760
Next thing is that we have come out with

244 – Melvin Lim
00:08:01,760 –> 00:08:03,840
close to about 20 different charts.

245 – Melvin Lim
00:08:03,840 –> 00:08:05,720
And this will all be available

246 – Melvin Lim
00:08:05,720 –> 00:08:09,040
in our Q2 real estate trends report,

247 – Melvin Lim
00:08:09,040 –> 00:08:11,160
that’s being done by the PLB Research and Insights team.

248 – Melvin Lim
00:08:11,160 –> 00:08:13,640
So, this time round the charts are very interactive because…

249 – Melvin Lim
00:08:13,640 –> 00:08:14,720
let me reload this again.

250 – Melvin Lim
00:08:14,720 –> 00:08:17,240
Basically what you see is that these are all moving charts.

251 – Melvin Lim
00:08:17,240 –> 00:08:18,920
And of course, if you watch them on our social media,

252 – Melvin Lim
00:08:18,920 –> 00:08:19,960
these charts are interactive.

253 – Melvin Lim
00:08:19,960 –> 00:08:21,200
Firstly, you can play around with them,

254 – Melvin Lim
00:08:21,200 –> 00:08:23,120
you can hover around within them,

255 – Melvin Lim
00:08:23,120 –> 00:08:25,000
look at the different kinds of indexes.

256 – Melvin Lim
00:08:25,000 –> 00:08:25,840
And of course we have done up

257 – Melvin Lim
00:08:25,840 –> 00:08:28,440
at market PPR versus bubble index as well.

258 – Melvin Lim
00:08:28,440 –> 00:08:29,720
We have also looked at some of the

259 – Melvin Lim
00:08:29,720 –> 00:08:31,320
total unsold units right here,

260 – Melvin Lim
00:08:31,320 –> 00:08:35,960
as well as the volume performance vis-a-vis the price index.

261 – Melvin Lim
00:08:35,960 –> 00:08:38,960
And also we have segregated them into different regions,

262 – Melvin Lim
00:08:38,960 –> 00:08:41,080
For example, RCR, OCR, and CCR.

263 – Melvin Lim
00:08:41,080 –> 00:08:44,120
We have also looked at rental distribution and

264 – Melvin Lim
00:08:44,120 –> 00:08:49,200
the GLS residential land PPR pricing from 1995 ’til date.

265 – Melvin Lim
00:08:49,200 –> 00:08:50,600
And we segregated them

266 – Melvin Lim
00:08:50,600 –> 00:08:53,600
from basically 1996 all the way to now.

267 – Melvin Lim
00:08:53,600 –> 00:08:56,040
And then, we have also segregated them

268 – Melvin Lim
00:08:56,040 –> 00:08:58,040
based on CCR, RCR, and OCR.

269 – Melvin Lim
00:08:58,040 –> 00:08:59,840
Also, we have looked at the

270 – Melvin Lim
00:08:59,840 –> 00:09:04,160
yearly residential GFA sold in GLS by region as well.

271 – Melvin Lim
00:09:04,160 –> 00:09:07,320
Also, a lot of very interesting charts this time round.

272 – Melvin Lim
00:09:07,320 –> 00:09:09,440
So our team has taken a lot of time and effort

273 – Melvin Lim
00:09:09,440 –> 00:09:10,880
to come up with these beautiful charts for you,

274 – Melvin Lim
00:09:10,880 –> 00:09:12,440
so that we can all analyse them together.

275 – Melvin Lim
00:09:12,440 –> 00:09:14,320
And on our next NOTG season,

276 – Melvin Lim
00:09:14,320 –> 00:09:17,400
we will be talking about these charts on a very deep level.

277 – Melvin Lim
00:09:17,400 –> 00:09:18,600
Last but not least is that,

278 – Melvin Lim
00:09:18,600 –> 00:09:21,040
we are also releasing our new launches charts

279 – Melvin Lim
00:09:21,040 –> 00:09:22,560
by OCR, RCR, and CCR,

280 – Melvin Lim
00:09:22,560 –> 00:09:26,800
based on quantum pricing, and based on PSF pricing as well.

281 – Melvin Lim
00:09:26,800 –> 00:09:29,120
So this is something to look out for

282 – Melvin Lim
00:09:29,120 –> 00:09:31,280
in the next few episodes of NOTG, as well

283 – Melvin Lim
00:09:31,280 –> 00:09:34,040
as on our propertylimbrothers.com Insights page,

284 – Melvin Lim
00:09:34,040 –> 00:09:35,600
to look out for the download (link) to the report.

285 – Melvin Lim
00:09:35,600 –> 00:09:37,200
We will be sending out the link very soon

286 – Melvin Lim
00:09:37,200 –> 00:09:38,600
and announcing it over our social media.

287 – Melvin Lim
00:09:38,600 –> 00:09:40,040
So thank you for staying tuned with us

288 – Melvin Lim
00:09:40,040 –> 00:09:42,360
