– Issue 2 In the event global stock markets take a second plunge, interest rates will be forced even lower, and a secured rental income will limit the downside of the property’s value. What happens if interest rates rise? In that case, the economy must be growing fast and there is a good chance we can raise the rentals on the tenants during contract renewal. This is why real estate assets are a hedge against inflationary growth. And for many of the foreign investors whose base currencies are the euro, British pound, Hong Kong dollar or US dollar, the strength of the Singapore dollar will add to their total returns when they divest and convert the returns back to their home currencies.

– Issue 2 Conclusion It is important to note that the AAI is only one tool to gauge how the property market is performing. There are other aspects to consider before making a buy or sell decision. Nonetheless, I have been asked by several prospective clients if it is a good time to buy properties. My personal view is that unless it is an essential purchase (e.g. buying a home to stay), I would stay out of the market right now. In fact, I had recently sold two properties to accumulate cash to prepare for the next market downturn. As a parting shot, let me leave you with a quote by Warren Buffett that I often make reference to, “We simply attempt to be fearful when others are greedy and to be greedy when others are fearful”. With the URA PPPI reaching a new peak in the last quarter, I can’t help but to feel a slight sense of fear… By Getty Goh, Director of Ascendant Assets, a real estate research and investment consultancy firm.
